IMGMENU ¶
Imagemaps are made by creating one large GIFBUILDER object based on the GIFBUILDER object “.main” and adding the properties of the GIFBUILDER objects for each item (NO, ACT, SPC… and so on).
Property
target
Data type
target
Default
self
Description
Target of the menu links
Property
forceTypeValue
Data type
integer
Description
If set, the &type parameter of the link is forced to this value regardless of target.
Property
wrap
Data type
wrap
Description
Wraps the whole image-map.
Property
params
Data type
<img>-params
Property
main
Data type
->GIFBUILDER
Description
Main configuration of the image-map! This defines the “underlay”!
Property
dWorkArea
Data type
offset + calc
Description
Main offset of the GIFBUILDER-items (also called the “distribution”)
Property
[Common Item States, see above]
Data type
->IMGMENUITEM
+ .distrib
Description
This is the TMENUITEM-options for each category of menu item that can be generated.
Special:
The ->OptionSplit function is run on the whole GIFBUILDER- configuration before the items are generated.
.distrib is (x,y,v,h +calc) of the distribution of the menu items. This provides a way to space each item from the other. The codes “textX” and “textY” can be used for the width (X) and height (Y) dimension of each link.
This works by adding a WORKAREA-Gifbuilder Object between each of the IMGMENUITEM (“subset” of a GIFBUILDER object) and this work area defines where the text should be printed. As such the “x,y” defines the offset the next item will have (this should be the width of the previous in many cases!) and “v,h” defines the dimensions of the current item .
Consider this example taken from the static_template “template: MM”:
NO.distrib = textX+10, 0, textX+10, textY+5
In the future TypoScript may provide better ways to position GIFBUILDER objects on the image-maps!
ImgMap is automatically used on the links! (Meaning the “.imgMap” property of the TEXT objects in the GIFBUILDER objects is set automatically, unless it is already set.)
Property
imgMapExtras
Data type
<area…>-tags
Description
Extra <area…>tags for the image-map
Property
debugRenumberedObject
Data type
boolean
Description
if set, the final GIFBUILDER object configuration is output in order for you to debug your configuration
