Default Item Image was created by Paul

Hi,
Is there a way of setting a default image for all K2 Items that do not have a chosen image?
If the answer is yes, please show me how to do this.

Thanks

This post will help you with the overrides.

You need to change the item.php's image code to this.

	<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemImage')):?>
	<?php if(!empty($this->item->image)): ?>
	<!-- Item Image -->
	<div class="itemImageBlock">
		<span class="itemImage">
			<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 $this->item->imageWidth; ?>px; height:auto;" />
		</span>
		<div class="clr"></div>
	</div>
	<?php else: //no K2 image is present ?>
	<div class="itemImageBlock">
		<span class="itemImage">
			<img src="<?php echo JURI::root(); ?>templates/cine/images/placeholder.png" alt="<?php echo K2HelperUtilities::cleanHtml($this->item->title); ?>" style="width:<?php echo $this->item->imageWidth; ?>px; height:auto;" />
		</span>
	</div>
	<?php endif; ?>
	<?php endif; ?>

The logic remains the same for the listing templates (category_item.php, tag.php, user.php and generic.php)

Which item.php are you talking about? What is the path to it?

Thank you very much!.
Excellent post as I have been trying to get a default image for quite a while. With the templates system you can even have a different default image per template.
There is just one issue.. When I add the code to the category_item.php I lose the link on the image to the article. Could you possible let me know what I would have to change?
Thanks again

I got it finally, posting if it help sombody else.
For category_item.php use this code and change the path to your image.
Works for me anyway!

<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemImage')):?>
	<?php if(!empty($this->item->image)): ?>
	<!-- Item Image -->
	<div class="itemImageBlock">
		<span class="itemImage">
			<a href="<?php echo $this->item->link; ?>"><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;" /></a>
		</span>
	  <div class="clr"></div>
	</div>
	<?php else: //no K2 image is present ?>
	<div class="itemImageBlock">
		<span class="itemImage">
			<a href="<?php echo $this->item->link; ?>"><img src="<?php echo JURI::root(); ?>templates/default/images/myimage.jpg" alt="<?php echo K2HelperUtilities::cleanHtml($this->item->title); ?>" style="width:<?php echo $this->item->imageWidth; ?>px; height:auto;" /></a>
		</span>
	</div>
<?php endif; ?>
	  <?php endif; ?>
