ModifyImageManipulationPreviewUrlEvent
New in version 12.0
This event serves as a direct replacement for the now removed
$GLOBALS
hook.
The PSR-14 event
\TYPO3\
can be used to modify the preview URL within the
image manipulation element, used
for example for the
crop field of the
sys_ table.
As soon as a preview URL is set, the image manipulation element will display a corresponding button in the footer of the modal window, next to the Cancel and Accept buttons. On click, the preview URL will be opened in a new window.
Note
The element's crop variants will always be appended to the preview URL
as JSON-encoded string, using the crop parameter.
