Description
When users are linked to event info, event registration, online contribution, profile and petition pages with incomplete URLs, we currently give a Fatal Error screen which is not user-friendly. We should change this behavior to detect an is_public page or form and give a user-friendly "attractive" page which ideally helps the user find the desired page (or at least a nice link back to the CMS home page). We should be able to detect whether they were trying to register for an event, make a contribution etc and tailor the message a bit for each case.
— Original Post - issue title was: We should improve the error message on events with no id in the url —
In googling for 'civicrm event could not find a valid value for id' (CRM-11992) I found an awful lot of CiviCRM pages indexed by google. I think people going to - eg. -'civicrm/event/register' should get a more graceful error message & even if backtrace is enabled it shouldn't show in this instance
