Place Holder Image was created by mikeg1

Is there a way to have a placeholder image that is used in the Category listings... or even the article listings... I have it set so it pulls the image from the article and displays one... if there isn't one to use, can FlexiContent use a placeholder image?

Also - Check out: webworxapp.com/scca

You see the red category title with the red bar... it says SCCA - it is above the leading edge pic... As you can see with how this page looks, I edited the code for that template and moved the title under the leading article image... but how do I move that Category title under the leading article's text/description? I cant find the template file that does that... I check all of them in the flexicontent templates... I am using the blog template style... basically I want the category title to be below the leading article but above the other articles.

Hello
A place holder image ?
you mean a "default image" right?

this is implemented for the image field, but not when extracting image from article

you can do it at the template though, with an if statement

which template are you using ?

yes default image... one for leading article and one for the others below it. In terms of template... when I go to Flexi - Category it says: Category Layout: Blog For the articles/items: Item Type: Article... Item layout: Default. Thanks again for the VERY fast response!

-- For category layout of blog template
edit category_items.php and category_items_html5.php

find in 2 places (one for leading and one for intro):

Code:

$src = flexicontent_html::extractimagesrc($items[$i]);

after it add:

Code:

if ($src=="") {
  $src="images/myfolder/muimage.jpg";
}

OR add:

Code:

if ($src=="") {
  $src="http://mysite.com/images/myfolder/muimage.jpg";
}

For Item Layout of default Template
copy "modular.php" inside item.php (as instructions inside item.php say)

Code:

<?php if (isset($item->positions['image'])) : ?>
	<!-- BOF image block -->
	<?php foreach ($item->positions['image'] as $field) : ?>
	<div class="flexi image field_<?php echo $field->name; ?>">
		<?php echo $field->display; ?>
		<div class="clear"></div>
	</div>
	<?php endforeach; ?>
	<!-- EOF image block -->
<?php endif; ?>

replace with:

Code:

<?php echo $field->display; ?>

Code:

<?php echo $field->display ? $field->display : '<img src="images/myfolder/myimage.png" />' ; ?>

If the above does not work (for any reason), then please seek the help of person with HTML/PHP knowledge he will be able to change the files given these instructions
