Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Problem/Motivation
As a Drupal developer, I want to be able to use the same placeholder image as the active Drupal theme uses. Currently, the way I can do this is to copy the asset from the Drupal theme to the file system and create a managed file with points to that file asset.
Proposed resolution
Provide an option to set only an URL for the fallback image.
User interface changes
Nothing.
API changes
New config option imagecache_fallback_image_url is available which stores only a file URL. The preexisting imagecache_fallback_image config is prioritized over the new config, so if both are set, then imagecache_fallback_image is used.
Data model changes
Nothing.
