imgResource

imgResource contains the properties that are used with the data type imgResource.

Properties

ext

Property
ext
Data type
imageExtension / stdWrap
Default
web
Description
Target file extension for the processed image. The value web checks if the file extension is one of gif, jpg, jpeg, or png and if not it will find the best target extension. The target extension must be in the list of file extensions perceived as images. This is defined in $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['imagefile_ext'] in the install tool.

width

Property
width
Data type
pixels / stdWrap
Description

If both the width and the height are set and one of the numbers is appended by an m, the proportions will be preserved and thus width and height are treated as maximum dimensions for the image. The image will be scaled to fit into the rectangle of the dimensions width and height.

If both the width and the height are set and at least one of the numbers is appended by a c, crop-scaling will be enabled. This means that the proportions will be preserved and the image will be scaled to fit around a rectangle with width/height dimensions. Then, a centered portion from inside of the image (size defined by width/height) will be cut out.

The c can have a percentage value (-100 ... +100) after it, which defines how much the cropping will be moved off the center to the border.

Notice that you can only use either m or c at the same time!

Examples

This crops 120x80px from the center of the scaled image:

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
lib.image {
    width = 120c
    height = 80c
}
Copied!

This crops 100x100px; from landscape-images at the left and portrait- images centered:

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
lib.image {
    width = 100c-100
    height = 100c
}
Copied!

This crops 100x100px; from landscape-images a bit right of the center and portrait-images a bit higher than centered:

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
lib.image {
    width = 100c+30
    height = 100c-25
}
Copied!

height

Property
height
Data type
pixels / stdWrap
Description
See width

params

Property
params
Data type
string / stdWrap
Description

GraphicsMagick/ImageMagick command-line:

fx. -rotate 90, -negate or -quality 90

sample

Property
sample
Data type
boolean
Description
If set, -sample is used to scale images instead of -geometry. Sample does not use anti-aliasing and is therefore much faster.
Default
0

noScale

Property
noScale
Data type
boolean / stdWrap
Description
If set, the image itself will never be scaled. Only width and height are calculated according to the other properties, so that the image is displayed resized, but the original file is used. Can be used for creating PDFs or printing of pages, where the original file could provide much better quality than a rescaled one.
Default
0
Example

Here test.jpg could have 1600 x 1200 pixels for example:

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
file = fileadmin/test.jpg
file.width = 240m
file.height = 240m
file.noScale = 1
Copied!

This example results in an image tag like the following. Note that src="fileadmin/test.jpg" is the original file:

<img src="fileadmin/test.jpg" width="240" height="180" />
Copied!

crop

Property
crop
Data type
string / stdWrap
Description
It is possible to define an area that should be taken (cropped) from the image. When not defined in typoscript the value will be taken from the file_reference when possible. With this setting you can override this behavior.
Default
not-set (when file/image is a file_reference the crop value of the file reference is used)
Examples

Disable cropping set by the editor in the back-end:

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
tt_content.image.20.1.file.crop =
Copied!

Overrule/set cropping for all images:

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
tt_content.image.20.1.file.crop = 50,50,100,100
Copied!

cropVariant

Property
cropVariant
Data type
string
Description
Since it's possible to define certain crop variants you can specify which one to use here.
Default
default
Examples

Use 'desktop' crop variant:

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
tt_content.image.20.1.file {
    crop.data = file:current:crop
    cropVariant = desktop
}
Copied!

frame

Property
frame
Data type
integer / stdWrap
Description

Chooses the frame in a PDF or GIF file.

"" = first frame (zero)

import

Property
import
Data type
path / stdWrap
Description

value should be set to the path of the file

with stdWrap you get the filename from the data-array

Example

This returns the first image in the field "image" from the data-array:

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
tt_content.image.20.1.file {
    import = uploads/pics/
    import.field = image
    import.listNum = 0
}
Copied!

treatIdAsReference

Property
treatIdAsReference
Data type
boolean / stdWrap
Description
If set, given UIDs are interpreted as UIDs to sys_file_reference instead of to sys_file. This allows using file references, for example with import.data = levelmedia: ....
Default
0

maxW

Property
maxW
Data type
pixels / stdWrap
Description
Maximum width

maxH

Property
maxH
Data type
pixels / stdWrap
Description
Maximum height

minW

Property
minW
Data type
pixels / stdWrap
Description
Minimum width (overrules maxW/maxH)

minH

Property
minH
Data type
pixels / stdWrap
Description
Minimum height (overrules maxW/maxH)

stripProfile

Property
stripProfile
Data type
boolean
Description

If set, the GraphicsMagick/ImageMagick-command will use a stripProfile-command which shrinks the generated thumbnails. See the Install Tool for options and details.

If processor_stripColorProfileByDefault is set in the Install Tool, you can deactivate it by setting stripProfile=0.

Default
0
Example
EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
10 = IMAGE
10.file = fileadmin/images/image1.jpg
10.file.stripProfile = 1
Copied!

Masking (m)

Property

Masking:

(Black hides, white shows)

m.mask

Property
m.mask
Data type
imgResource
Description

The mask with which the image is masked onto m.bgImg. Both m.mask and m.bgImg is scaled to fit the size of the imgResource image!

Note: Both m.mask and m.bgImg must be valid images.

m.bgImg

Property
m.bgImg
Data type
imgResource
Description
Note: Both m.mask and m.bgImg must be valid images.

m.bottomImg

Property
m.bottomImg
Data type
imgResource
Description

An image masked by m.bottomImg_mask onto m.bgImg before the imgResources is masked by m.mask.

Both m.bottomImg and m.bottomImg_mask is scaled to fit the size of the imgResource image!

This is most often used to create an underlay for the imgResource.

Note: Both "m.bottomImg" and m.bottomImg_mask must be valid images.

m.bottomImg_mask

Property
m.bottomImg_mask
Data type
imgResource
Description

(optional)

Note: Both m.bottomImg and m.bottomImg_mask must be valid images.

Examples

This scales the image fileadmin/toplogo.gif to the width of 200 pixels:

EXT:site_package/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript
file = fileadmin/toplogo.gif
file.width = 200
Copied!
