There is no further ELTS support. It is recommended that you upgrade your project and use a supported version of TYPO3.
imgResource¶
imgResource contains the properties that are used with the data type imgResource.
Property
ext
Data type
imageExtension /stdWrap
Description
Target file extension for the processed image. The option "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 (defined in $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['GFX']['imagefile_ext'] in the Install Tool).
Default
web
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/height are treated as maximum dimensions for the image. The image will be scaled to fit into width/height rectangle.
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:
.width = 120c
.height = 80c
This crops 100x100px; from landscape-images at the left and portrait- images centered:
.width = 100c-100
.height = 100c
This crops 100x100px; from landscape-images a bit right of the center and portrait-images a bit higher than centered:
.width = 100c+30
.height = 100c-25
Property
params
Data type
string /stdWrap
Description
GraphicsMagick/ImageMagick command-line:
fx. "-rotate 90", "-negate" or "-quality 90"
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
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 resizedly, 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.
Example:
// test.jpg could e.g. have 1600 x 1200 pixels
file = fileadmin/test.jpg
file.width = 240m
file.height = 240m
file.noScale = 1
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" />
Default
0
Property
alternativeTempPath
Data type
string
Description
Enter an alternative path to use for temporary images.
Property
frame
Data type
integer /stdWrap
Description
Chooses the frame in a PDF or GIF file.
"" = first frame (zero)
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:
.import = uploads/pics/
.import.field = image
.import.listNum = 0
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, e.g. with import.data = levelmedia:....
Default
0
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 im_useStripProfileByDefault is set in the Install Tool, you can deactivate it by setting stripProfile=0.
Example:
10 = IMAGE
10.file = fileadmin/images/image1.jpg
10.file.stripProfile = 1
Default
0
Property
Masking:
(Black hides, white shows)
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.
Property
m.bgImg
Data type
imgResource
Description
Note: Both "m.mask" and "m.bgImg" must be valid images.
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.
Property
m.bottomImg_mask
Data type
imgResource
Description
(optional)
Note: Both "m.bottomImg" and "m.bottomImg_mask" must be valid images.
[tsref:->imgResource]
Example:¶
This scales the image fileadmin/toplogo.gif to the width of 200 pixels.
file = fileadmin/toplogo.gif
file.width = 200
