imgResource¶

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

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:

.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

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:

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" />

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:

tt_content.image.20.1.file.crop =

Overrule/set cropping for all images:

tt_content.image.20.1.file.crop = 50,50,100,100

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:

tt_content.image.20.1.file {
    crop.data = file:current:crop
    cropVariant = desktop
}

alternativeTempPath¶

Property: alternativeTempPath
Data type: string
Description: Enter an alternative path to use for temporary images.

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:

.import = uploads/pics/
.import.field = image
.import.listNum = 0

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

= IMAGE
file = fileadmin/images/image1.jpg
file.stripProfile = 1

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.

Examples¶

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

file = fileadmin/toplogo.gif
file.width = 200
