htaccess image redirectoin

c0c0c0 · November 5th, 2005, 4:55 AM

Hello,

I upgraded from gallery 1 to gallery 2 and I created a new folder for gallery 2 in case it didn't work out. Now I have a .htaccess file which wil redirect anyone going into the depreciated folder into the new one, this has broken all images that was pointing to the old gallery.

My question is, can I put the following in the same .htaccess file to make all broken pictures show the image (I am going to *shop an image which shows peoples the path to the new gallery)

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg)$ http://www.mydomain.com/redirect.jpg [R,L]

Is there a better approach to this? Is there an order to .htaccess or is the redirect going to override the rewrite rule?

Thanks!
