Collection placeholder images - Spotlight theme

[Nardu_M]

If anyone can help, that would be very appreciated.
I am building a store on the Spotlight theme and have the challenge that not all products having images.
So on collections, I want to make it so that if a product has no image there is a placeholder image that gets displayed instead.
In the product-card.liquid file the section that generates the product card, there's a check for the product's featured image

{%- if card_product.featured_media -%}

.... Display featured image....

{% endif %}​

So I wedged a {% else %} in and copied all the code from the first if into the else statement.
under the else I used 

{% assign placeholder = "product_placeholder.png" %}​

and then replaced all the 'featured_image' references with {{ placeholder | asset_img_url: width: x }} 
when inspecting, the image seems to pull through to the code correctly, but it still does not display?

Not sure how to check why the image is not showing, but would love some input that may help me resolve this

Generally there may be other logic that ends up controlling display in tandem with what you've edited.

Either externally or within the initial {% if %} condition.

Glancing over the url's code for /collections/all-products , NO media is loaded at all.

Double check the syntax of your image logic by validating it's parts in a custom-liquid block every step of the way, {{  placeholder}}etc etc.

Thank you Paul.
There was a conditional statement in one of the parent elements in the liquid code which prevented the images' display.
