How do I set default image URL or default file URL for File upload widget? Please advice.

One way to approach this is to create a method on your model that looks for the image, or returns a default.

In model acme/blog/models/MyModel.php:

public $attachOne = [
    'logo' => \System\Models\File::class
];

public function getLogo()
{
    if ($settings->logo) {
        return $settings->logo->getPath();
    }

    return $this->getDefaultLogo();
}

public function getDefaultLogo()
{
    $logoPath = File::symbolizePath(Config::get('acme.blog::default_logo'));

    if ($logoPath && File::exists($logoPath)) {
        return Url::asset(File::localToPublic($logoPath));
    }

    return null;
}

In config acme/blog/config/config.php

<?php

return [
    // Some path relative to the directory
    'default_logo' => '~/themes/bonjour/assets/images/october.png',
];

Hope this helps

Hi @daftspunk,

Thank you for your reply. Your solution look good on Frontend. Is it possible to set default image in backend when create item at first time? Content Manager would like to see default image preset when create content.

I work around with mediafinder.

    main_background:
        label: Main Background
        type: mediafinder
        mode: image
        default: '/default/bg.png'

The widget in backend will show default image from URL: https://{MY_DOMAIN}/storage/app/media/default/bg.png

Media finder is another good option!

As I know, this class I can use only for listing page titles and urls? Am I able to list variable of page? If yes, how? Your can able to list variable of page

I'm not quite sure about your question. But if you want to get image URL from your mediafinder type field. You could use {{ yourmodel.main_background |media }}.
