Setting one image for all items.. was created by Justin Inabinett

What I am doing is using K2 to build a Directory database.

The problem:
I am uploading all my items, but I want to set ALL items to a '1 generic image'. If I can keep this single image from being duplicated in the "/media/k2/items/ Folder would be super nice in maintaining a smaller footprint...

I don't want to necessarily recode it though, because I would like the listings owners, to eventually be able to change the intro image of their item...

Thoughts on how to accomplish this?

Thanks & best regards!
Justin

Hi,

Try this workaround, you will modify only template files, so its not recoding as you wish:

for the item view page, and after applying template overrides of course, edit item.php

find this line:

<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemImage') && !empty($this->item->image)): ?>

Add this code directly before the above line:

<?php 
          if(empty($this->item->image)){
              $this->item->image = 'item/image/path';
              $this->item->imageXLarge = 'item/imageXLarge/path';
              $this->item->image_caption = 'Image caption';
              $this->item->image_credits = 'Image Credits';
              $this->item->imageWidth = 'Image width in numbers without px';
          }
          ?>

make sure to write in the correct values on the right of the equal sign, for example:
item/image/path should be the path to the generic image
item/imageXLarge/path should be the path to the xlarge version of generic image
and so on
