For administrators

Installation

  1. Install via composer

    composer require blueways/bw-focuspoint-images

  2. Include TypoScript

    Enable the extension in the Extension Manager and include the static TypoScript template or manually include setup and constants.

  3. Define your own wizard fields

    There are no default fields defined! An example with working frontend output can be found here: Setup

Usage

Add the new content element “SVG Focuspoints” to any page, link a new image and start adding your focus areas.

Configuration

Setup

To configure the fields in the focus point wizard, use the following TypoScript settings. You can choose between text, textarea and select inputs in the wizard.

This example setup is used to generate the output shown in Example 1.

plugin.tx_bwfocuspointimages.settings.fields {

    name {
        title = LLL:EXT:bw_focuspoint_images/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:wizard.fields.name
        type = text
    }

    description {
        title = LLL:EXT:bw_focuspoint_images/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:wizard.fields.description
        type = textarea
    }

    color {
        title = LLL:EXT:bw_focuspoint_images/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:wizard.fields.color
        type = select
        options {
            red = LLL:EXT:bw_focuspoint_images/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:wizard.fields.color.red
            green = LLL:EXT:bw_focuspoint_images/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:wizard.fields.color.green
            blue = LLL:EXT:bw_focuspoint_images/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:wizard.fields.color.blue
        }
    }

}

Constants

To override templates set your own paths via constants:

plugin.tx_bwfocuspointimages {
    view {
        templateRootPath =
        partialRootPath =
        layoutRootPath =
    }
}

Tip

To use the default rendering of fluid_styled_content, set Layout and Partial path to your styles.content setting and use the Default layout in your FocuspointImage template file.

For developers

The table sys_file_references becomes extended by the field focus_points. This field is used to save the settings made in the backend editor in json format.

To use the editor in other content elements with FAL images, use the following TCA to activate the palette:

$GLOBALS['TCA']['tt_content']['types']['your_list_type']['columnsOverrides'] = [
   'assets' => [
     'config' => [
         'foreign_types' => [
             \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\File::FILETYPE_IMAGE => [
                 'showitem' => 'focus_points'
             ]
         ]
      ]
   ]
];

Note

This snippet assumes that references are done via assets column. Change this to your needs.

Todos

Possible improvements:

  • More frontend examples (e.g. svg animation, use of canvas element,..)
  • New field types for the wizard (e.g. PageTree)
  • DataProcessor for injecting data into the wizard
  • Better configuration of the custom tt_content element (e.g. template selection, further display configuration)
  • …
