[SOLVED] Replace image not found icon

[tpl41803]

I'm wondering if there's any way to replace the "X" icon that shows up when an image is not found on a webpage with a default image.

 

I'm assuming that if this is possible it would be done in CSS

 

I ran a few google searches and looked around breifly on the forms, but I have no idea what to actually search for, CSS Image Not Found Icon  doesn't produce the results im looking for

 

thanks

as far as i know, this can't be done with CSS/HTML, but i think it can be done with htaccess...if someone else knows the rewrite rules off the top of their head, speak up...i'll try to find something in the mean time

[rhodesa]

in your images folder, create a file called .htaccess (make sure you get that period at the front of the filename) and use this in it:

RewriteEngine On
# Relative URL to the images folder
RewriteBase /images #This assumes it's http://host.com/images/
# Don't change files & folders that exist already
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
# Show the default if it doesn't exist
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ default.jpg # Add a [R] after the filename if you want an actual redirect (instead of a rewrite)

Maybe you can research into the google search for your problem...

thanks rhodesa, sorry it took so long for me to get back here

 

your code worked perfectly

[rhodesa]

better late then never

 

glad you got it

[tpl41803]

you know... I got it working, but when i tried to log back into my file manager, i get an access denied 403 error--

 

i removed the code i added and the error went away, so i'm not sure what the problem is that's causing this.

 

my entire .htaccess file looks like this:

Options -Indexes
ErrorDocument 401 /customerrors/error_401.php
ErrorDocument 403 /customerrors/error_403.php
ErrorDocument 400 /customerrors/error_400.php
ErrorDocument 500 /customerrors/error_500.php
ErrorDocument 404 /customerrors/error_404.php

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /image
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ noimg.jpg

 

when i remove everything from "rewriteEngine..." down i have no problems--I'm just not familiar enough with .htaccess to figure out what the problem code is.

 

thanks :-D

[rhodesa]

what is the path (everything after the hostname) for the noimg.jpg file?

[tpl41803]

htdocs/image/noimg.jpg

 

and the .htaccess file is located within the htdocs directory

[tpl41803]

I figured it out again, hopefully I don't go breaking it--

 

I just commented out some lines and it worked when I took out the "rewriteengine on"

 

thanks for your help
