Hi there,

I have a problem with the server so saving doesn't work now, as the site is online and I need a qiuck fix I would like to set the K2 Item iamge in the database itself. This works for the galleries and text but I can't see any reverence to the Item image.

Does someone know where it gets it link to the image, so K2 knows there is a image set and where to find it.

I know it will look for media/K2/Items/Cache. But I am talking about items that doen't have a Item image yet. So I can add a image to a item.

Thanks in advance!
Best regards.
Santana

Hello Santana,

The image is not stored in the database. K2 looks for an image which matches its criteria and shows it.

But I am talking about items thgat doen't have a Item image yet.

If you are trying to show a placeholder you can assign one in your template overrides you can read this post: www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/41394-default-image-for-k2-item#146171

Hi Krikor,

So I would like to know how to set the criteria for a image to show up on a specific K2 item. Is it by putting the matching imagesize in the name, in my case XL?

I am sorry for the hassle, but the insights will be helpfull!

Thansk,
Santana

Hi Krikor,

I tried putting images in the media/k2/items/cache/ folder ending with _Generic _S _XS _M _L and _XL but with no result, so I am still wondering what those criteria are K2 looks for to show an itemimage.

Hope you can claerify this,

Thanks in advance,
Santana

Hello there,

This is how the image's name is being generated: md5("Image".$row->id);

Thanks Krikor, I will have a look a that.

You 're welcome Santanta.
