can anyone be so nice to explain the new
Code:
$route['404_override'] = 'route';i placed it in config/routes.php but it doesn't do anything (i use ci2 so no problem about versions)

The idea is that it allow you to handle a "not found" request before it actually shows the error.
Imagine this situation: you have a site with controllers for several parts: www.example.com/about-us, www.example.com/sign-up, whatever.
But you also want dynamic addresses for your projects: www.example.com/project1, www.example.com/other-project.
These are NOT controllers; they need to be built from the database!
Normally these urls would give a 404 error because there is no 'project1' controller or 'other-project' controller.
Now, with this route, you can send the request to a specific controller. Say $route['404_override'] = 'project';
In that controller, you can check if the requested url ('project1') is indeed a valid project name. If so, display your page. If not, you can still throw the 404 error yourself or show a 'project not found' page.
NOTE: You need to specify a controller AND method you want to have called! So it should read : $route['404_override'] = 'project/show' or something like that. Without a controller AND method, it doesn't work.

thanks mddd for responding
my mistake was that i didn't add a method
now all i miss is a error method / controller
i see that if the controller exists $route['404_override'] doesn't get used

Use this:
Code:
$route['404']because you use HMVC.

You have to define a valid route, so the function in the routed controller should exist. If the function doesn't exist the default error page will be shown.
Step1: Define the route "404_override" in your routes.php config file:
Code:
$route['404_override'] = "home/show_404";Code:
function show_404()
{
$this->output->set_status_header('404');
echo "404 - not found";
}
