Hi,Is there a way to have a default image item placeholder,( much the same as a categories) in Item View ? I've searched the forum and cannot find anything.....I would imagine it would need some sort of modification to item.php ???Dave

I currently have an override which modifies the K2 item page and moves the title , author to sit on top of the item image.

See live example here: www.aerosolplanet.com/United-Kingdom/Artist-Interviews/Inkfetish.html

The problem is that if an item image is not uploaded then the template looks terrible. Any ideas how I can have a default image if nothing is uploaded or maybe the first image in the article put here in the event of no image being uploaded...

Dave

Any ideas... ?

This wont be of much help but looking at the tables
jos_k2_category there is a field called image. If you upload a category image it gets named with the category id. Use phpmyadmin to check a category with an image.

I assume that the catalogue mode on or off will determine if a default placeholder image will show or not.
I expected to find code in category.php or category_item.php that tested for the existance of an image and if not then used the placeholder, but it must be deeper in the code. I have not found it
I think the addition of something like in your item.php may work
php if( isset ($ this-> category) && ( $ this->params-> get('catImage')
display the image
else
display the placeholder image
