Placeholder photos (draft) ​

Four slots. Admin replaces CDN URLs without an FE deploy. Static public/ files are last-resort only.

Slot keyUsage
placeholder_roomMissing room / rate photo
placeholder_addonMissing add-on
placeholder_propertyMissing property hero
placeholder_confirmationConfirmation / receipt

Store URLs on platform settings (Core metadata or Middleware settings). Public read: no auth.

imageUrl || placeholders.room

Never show a broken <img>. Brand-neutral BookDirect art — not a real hotel or a Google photo.

Emails use the confirmation/property slot HTTPS URL, not /public paths.

Assets: product will attach files later. Map filenames in this table when they arrive; upload via file-manager.

MelonQ admin: /admin/placeholders (draft). v1 has no winner yet.

Acceptance ​

  • All four slots configurable
  • Empty galleries never 404 on Marketplace or Booking Engine

API-first. Middleware Backend wins over Core Backend when both exist.
