Attention

TYPO3 v8 has reached its end-of-life March 31st, 2020 and is not maintained by the community anymore. Looking for a stable version? Use the version switch on the top left.

There is no further ELTS support. It is recommended that you upgrade your project and use a supported version of TYPO3.

Objects rendering content

• IMAGE for the rendering of an image:

    lib.logo = IMAGE
    lib.logo {
       file = fileadmin/logo.gif
       file.width = 200
       stdWrap.typolink.parameter = 1
    }
  
  The result is an image based on file :file:`logo.gif` with width of 200
  pixels and a link to the page 1.
  

• TEXT is for the rendering of standard text or the content of fields:

  lib.motto = TEXT
  lib.motto.value = Inspiring people to share
  lib.motto.wrap = <div class="highlight">|</div>
  

• FILES is used to retrieve information about one or more files and perform some rendering with it:

    lib.banner = FILES
    lib.banner {
       references {
          table = pages
          fieldName = media
          uid.data = page:uid
       }
       renderObj = IMAGE
       renderObj {
          file.import.data = file:current:uid
          file.treatIdAsReference = 1
          file.width = 500
          wrap = <div class="banner">|</div>
       }
    }
  
  This code will probably look pretty abstract to you right now. What it does
  is to reference the images that were related to a given page in the "media"
  field. It takes each of these images and resizes them to a maximum width of
  500 pixels. Each image is wrapped in a `<div>` tag.
  

• FLUIDTEMPLATE renders a template with the template engine Fluid with variables and data that you define - as previously discussed in the "Insert content in a HTML template" chapter.

• TEMPLATE replaces markers in a HTML template.
