[Gelöst] Setting a default image for display

My website lists musical concerts.

I have added an 'Image' field to the concert post type for the concert poster.

On the front end, I'm using a View to output the concerts, including the poster image.

Some of the concerts are very old and a poster image is not always available. Where a concert poster has not been added, I would like to display a default/fallback image.

I have tried adding the URL to the fallback image into the Placeholder box for the field but this has no effect at all.

How do I do this? I'm using the Blocks Views and can't find any way. There are many support threads which cover similar subjects but these seem to all involve coding (and are quite old posts).

Is there an easy way to do this? I would have thought this is a common requirement.

Hello, I think in this case I would use a conditional block that tests the value of the custom image field. If the field has no value, display a predefined image. If the field has a value, display the custom field. I'm attaching screenshots showing similar conditionals testing the value of a custom field image. If the value is Empty, display an image field with your default image. If the value is not empty, display the custom field image.

Will this work for your case?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The video tutorial at https://toolset.com/course-lesson/using-toolset-conditional-block/ talked me through precisely how to add a different image if the field was empty. Much appreciated.
