Hi @cservices
Ok so to break your question in 2 separate ones:
I want to log to the database error messages created by specific methods.
To do this you would have to create a custom driver. As you can see however it is not a very popular solution judging by a number of stars on this package. Why would you not want what everyone else uses to log errors eg. files?

I also want to display a custom message to the user and refer them back to a specific page once they acknowledge the error.
What you are talking about here is handling exceptions (errors) what normally happens is you get a standard laravel 403 page or something, but you might customise all of it and on the page, you design ask you ser for acknowledgement and redirect back. Here is a nice tutorial on how to handle the exceptions

Hope it helps!
