Image FAQ

Q: Why can I not use more than 9 999 999 images?

A: The limitation of the .htaccess file prevents the use of more than 9 999 999 images because there is a limit of 9 back references ($1, $2, $3,… $9) in mod_rewrite. The $10 $11 etc back references are being interpreted as just $1.

You can exceed this limitation by adding the needed rules in your .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.my-domain.com$
RewriteRule ^0([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/p/0/$1/$2/$3/$4/$5/$6/$7/0$1$2$3$4$5$6$7$8$9.jpg [L]
RewriteRule ^1([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])([0-9])(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)?(-[0-9]+)?/.+\.jpg$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}img/p/1/$1/$2/$3/$4/$5/$6/$7/1$1$2$3$4$5$6$7$8$9.jpg [L]
