ModifyImageManipulationPreviewUrlEvent

New in version 12.0

This event serves as a direct replacement for the now removed $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['Backend/Form/Element/ImageManipulationElement']['previewUrl'] hook.

The PSR-14 event \TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Form\Event\ModifyImageManipulationPreviewUrlEvent can be used to modify the preview URL within the image manipulation element, used for example for the crop field of the sys_file_reference 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.

Example

EXT:my_extension/Classes/Backend/EventListener/MyEventListener.php 
<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace MyVendor\MyExtension\Backend\EventListener;

use TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Form\Event\ModifyImageManipulationPreviewUrlEvent;
use TYPO3\CMS\Core\Attribute\AsEventListener;

#[AsEventListener(
    identifier: 'my-extension/backend/modify-imagemanipulation-previewurl',
)]
final readonly class MyEventListener
{
    public function __invoke(ModifyImageManipulationPreviewUrlEvent $event): void
    {
        $event->setPreviewUrl('https://example.com/some/preview/url');
    }
}
Copied!

New in version 13.0

The PHP attribute \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Attribute\AsEventListener has been introduced to tag a PHP class as an event listener. Alternatively, or if you need to be compatible with older TYPO3 versions, you can also register an event listener via the Configuration/Services.yaml file. Switch to an older version of this page for an example or have a look at the section Implementing an event listener in your extension.
