How do I use same image for multiple places?

[Davikore]

Hi,
I want to use a the same photo for several image references.

So in my different html pages:

<img itemprop="image" title="$page_image_title1" alt="$page_image_alt1" src="http://example.com/ims/myhouse_green_timber_house.jpg">

<img itemprop="image" title="$page_image_title1" alt="$page_image_alt2" src="http://example.com/ims/myhouse_yellow_wooden_house.jpg">

<img itemprop="image" title="$page_image_title3" alt="$page_image_alt3" src="http://example.com/ims/myhouse_green_and yellow_cedar_house.jpg">  

 

I want all three of these to point to my image : "http://example.com/images/myhouse.jpg"

What is the best way to do this ?

Should I use the .htacess to rewrite the url - would that work
or is there a better way ? 

Many thanks for any ideas ...

And why do you want that? Search engine trickery?

 

What you describe is obviously terrible for performance and bandwidth, because the client has to download the exact same image over and over again (unless you literally redirected all image URLs to myhouse.jpg, which would be very confusing).

 

If you map arbitary paths to arbitary paths, that also means you'll have to manually maintain a long list of all mappings. A better approach would be to clearly separate the physical path from the descriptive stuff:

/images/actual_file_path--this-is-some-comment  // cut off everything after "--" with a rewrite rules
/images/actual_file_path?this-is-some-comment   // no rewriting required; the query part is simply discarded
