or even shorter

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(AS|LB)-def\.gif
RewriteRule (AS|LB)-.+(jpeg|gif|jpg|png|bmp)$ $1-def.gif [L]

You don't need RewriteBase in this case as "/promo/images" is located inside your root folder.

This should work for you:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(AS|LB)-def\.gif
RewriteRule AS-.+(jpeg|gif|jpg|png|bmp)$ AS-def.gif [L]
RewriteRule LB-.+(jpeg|gif|jpg|png|bmp)$ LB-def.gif [L]

Many moons ago, we served up a number of colour-CoOrdinated buttons for selected people to use on their websites, allowing them to easily link to listings on our site without the need to download graphicsd, etc. (This was mainly done so that if we underwent a style change, an update of the art on our server automatically got reflected on their sites.)

Now, we are using just one colour scheme... but we are having to waste HDD space for legacy sites who don't know how (or just don't want to bother) updating the code on their pages...

Here is what we have TRIED... (this is in an .htacess file located in the<root>/promo/images/ subfolder...)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /promo/images
RewriteRule ^AS-(.*).(jpeg|gif|jpg|png|bmp)$ /promo/images/AS-def.gif [L] RewriteRule ^LB-(.*).(jpeg|gif|jpg|png|bmp)$ /promo/images/LB-def.gif [L]

We are attempting to instruct the server... "If they request ANY one of the old files (eg. AS-red.gif), in any correct or incorrect format, whether it exists on our server or not, replace it with AS-def.gif, similarly if they request one of the old coloured LB- style buttons, send LB-def.gif instead regardless."

We are NOT seeing the new single-style button appearing on their sites, just a text placeholder, or worse, nothing at all - depending on default browser behaviour.

PLEASE... what code should we have in there to make this work? And sorry for the OT... if anyone knows of a better forum, please let me know and I'll happily ask there instead in future.

    Thanks in advance...
