.htaccess help!, P-p-p-pleeaaassee

Hey everyone,

50NP$ reward for whoever can fix this for me.

well im having a few problems with good old .htaccess, once again! :td:

What im trying to do is this:

change popular.php to /popular/ so that is more seo friendly.

BUT when I do that, all the templates images which are located at templates/default/images will become located at popular/templates/images so none of the images will show up because the images aren't located there...

Ive tried everything . And this is the last thing that ive tried to fix the issue of no images showing up, i can do the /popular/ redirection ok though...

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^popular/ popular.php
RewriteRule ^popular popular.php
RewriteRule templates/(.*)/images/(.*) ../templates/$1/images/$2 [R,L]

Im so hopeless at htaccess lol.

If someone could please help me out i would be sooo grateful.

Thanks!
Regards, Rhett.

RewriteRule ^templates/(.*)/images/(.*) /templates/$1/images/$2 [L]

Hey 2ndversion,
i tried using your line, but the same thing still happens...
If i go to http://www.domain.com/popular it works fine.
But if i add a slash to the end http://www.domain.com/popular/ the images wont show up at all.

goto http://www.demo.phpsmiley.com/popular and http://www.demo.phpsmiley.com/popular/ to check out what i mean if you like.

The htaccess needs to redirect any popular/templates/whatever back to just templates/whatever if you know what i mean.

Thanks!
Rhett.

Try this then:

RewriteRule ^popular/templates/(.*)/images/(.*) /templates/$1/images/$2 [L]

Still no luck...

If i try to go here: http://demo.phpsmiley.com/popular/templates/default/images/welcome.gif instead of showing the welcom.gif file which is really located here: http://demo.phpsmiley.com/templates/default/images/welcome.gif it will display the popular.php page instead :S :S
