Problem following the "How to extend existing plugins" from the doc

[Enkil11]

Describe the bug I've implemented the GridContainerRenderMixin from the documentation to add a background image and blur effect to a container. Everything works fine as long as I set a background image.

Problem:

If I remove the background image from a container that previously had one, the plugin refuses to render and throws the following error:

Exception when executing plugin.render in GridContainerPlugin (id=113)
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

This issue persists until I add back a background image or until the server is restarted. If I create multiple container plugins, some with a background and some without, the ones without a background will consistently trigger the same error.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a GridContainerPlugin and assign a background image.
2. Remove the background image and save the container.
3. The plugin fails to render and throws an error.

OR

1. Create 2 GridContainerPlugin
2. Assign a background image to one of them.
3. The plugin that do not have a background fails to render and throws an error.

Expected behavior The GridContainerPlugin should be able to render when the background_image is deleted. The GridContainerPlugin should be able to render with or without a background_image in any case.

@Enkil11 Which djangocms-frontend version (1.x or 2.0a1)?

[Enkil11]

@fsbraun I used the version 2.0.0a1

[fsbraun]

I will have to look into this. I think this is a compatibility issue - in 2.0 the image mixing did change.

[fsbraun]

@p-r-a-v-i-n Did you have a chance to look into this?

Hi @fsbraun , I did but I could not able to reproduce the bug.
