The U Default Picture plugin is filling empty images fields with a fail-back image straight in the database at onContentBeforeSave event:
- If the article's category have a defined image the that image image is used as fail-back image in article's images fields.
- If the article's category does not have a fail-back image, a global, site-wide image is used as fallback image in article's images fields.
And the fail-safe images fields settings from above can be combined or used separately, for Intro Image and Full Article Image, according with the quite self explanatory plugin settings.
