Which image will be displayed for an entry is determined in the following order in the Section::getImage($entry)) method:

  • An image is defined via the Section::EVENT_DEFINE_IMAGE event.
  • An image field is defined in the imageField section config setting, and at least one image is attached to that field.
  • An image field is defined in the fallbackImageField section config setting, and at least one image is attached to that field.
  • An image asset is defined in the fallbackImage plugin settings.
php
'fallbackImage' => GlobalSet::find()->handle('siteInfo')->one()->featuredImage->one(),

Icon

If there is no image, an icon is used.

Which icon will be displayed for an entry with which background color is determined in the following order in the Section::getIconData($entry)) method:

  • An icon/background color is defined via the Section::EVENT_DEFINE_ICON event.
  • An icon/background color is defined in the icon/iconBgColor section settings.
  • A defaultIcon is defined in your config\contentoverview.php file.
  • The defaultIcon that is defined in the main settings file models\Settings.php.

The icon is defined as a path to a svg image. Can contain an alias as in @appicons/wand.svg.

The background color is defined as anything than can be passed to the background-image css property.

There is a @coicons alias that points the plugins own icon folder.
