Placeholder images for places that do not have an image

[xavez]

We need to add a placeholder image for places that do not have a photo. Right now, it is hot linked. http://www.leuven.be/binaries/Stadhuis-CoprightLaylaAerts_tcm16-24398.jpg

This has major high priority, assigning @huhu1030 and @elroyK because we cannot just hotlink a copyrighted image. Please fix ASAP :)

There's already a placeholder for places without pictures, those with this exact picture have it as their related image in the DB I think, can @JasperDR confirm ?

[JasperDR]

That is correct, this can be changed in the DB by uploading another picture and putting that one in the DB. I'm already working on a function to return the images from backend.

Okay, I don’t know the technical details, what needs to happen is that we

• Remove the current hot linked image
• Replace it with a placeholder image we created

As soon as possible because there is a rights issue.

[elroyK]

As long as the hot linked image is deleted from the DB, the placeholder will be applied :)

cleared 'photos' table from DB

Great!

However, who thought it was a good idea to put a 1mb picture as a placeholder? This should be a couple of mb’s max.

Not considering the placeholder debacle fixed just yet ;)
