Hello all,

I am sure this topic has been discussed a thousand times, but I am not sure this works for me.
I follow this guide
www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/34251-default-image-for-k2-items
and this one
www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/41394-default-image-for-k2-item

but none works for me.

Same objective, is to have a fallback image which is used by the function attached (item image).
Thank you all!

Hello Fotis, I did create an override being > Com_k2 > templates > default > category_item.php.
Doesn't work. I even edited the file directly in k2. See attached code replaced. Probably something I did wrong. Not sure. Kindly advise.

Hello Fotis,

I got it to work. I noticed I used the code twice. It works now but with a problem. It overwrites my k2 items that has images. I thought this trick was only on blank k2 items. The aim is to show an image on k2 items that does not have item-image. Thanks to advise.

See below<br/>
<div class="catItemImageBlock">
<span class="catItemImage">
<a href="<?php echo $this->item->link; ?>" title="<?php if(!empty($this->item->image_caption)) echo K2HelperUtilities::cleanHtml($this->item->image_caption); else echo K2HelperUtilities::cleanHtml($this->item->title); ?>">

<?php if(!empty($this->item->image)): ?>

<img src="<?php echo $this->item->image; ?>" alt="<?php if(!empty($this->item->image_caption)) echo K2HelperUtilities::cleanHtml($this->item->image_caption); else echo K2HelperUtilities::cleanHtml($this->item->title); ?>" style="width:<?php echo $this->item->imageWidth; ?>px; height:auto;" />

<?php else: ?>

<img src="placehold.it/700x350" alt="item->image_caption)) echo K2HelperUtilities::cleanHtml($this->item->image_caption); else echo K2HelperUtilities::cleanHtml($this->item->title); ?>" style="width:item->imageWidth; ?>px; height:auto;" />

<?php endif; ?>

</a>
</span>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Not that I know of. Now It does not work !! will it be possible to send a Category_item.php file so I can check ?

Forgot to highlight again, when the code works, it overwrites the item that has images. In reality, it should work on K2 items that are blank. Not the case on my side :(
