This functionality is badly needed but -- what's the reason to keep it separate from http://drupal.org/project/fast_404 ?

Hi Vacilando,

Thanks for point that out, we're checking it out - will report back here - if there are enough similarities we will definitely try to get whatever other functionality into fast_404

Hey Vacilando,

Thanks for your interest in the module. Fast_404 doesn't actually generate a custom static 404 page based on the contents of a Drupal site; instead, it uses a sparse, cookie-cutter 404 page. Fast_404 *does* allow you to specify a string of HTML for the static page, but it doesn't assist in generating one based on your Drupal site.

If you're asking "what can static_404 do that fast_404 can't?", this should answer your question. If, instead, you were asking "why can't the two modules be united?" all I can tell you is that we needed this functionality immediately and, provided a merge makes sense, we will contact the maintainers of fast_404 to see if they're interested in accepting a patch.

James

Thanks for the clarification, jobeirne -- it is important for me and others to know what the differences are in order to make the right choices when selecting modules we need.
