Configuration

PageTS

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

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

mod.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
        }
    }

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

}

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 for 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' => [
            'overrideChildTca' => [
                'types' => [
                    \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\File::FILETYPE_IMAGE => [
                        'showitem' => 'focus_points,--palette--;;filePalette'
                    ],
                ],
                'columns' => [
                    'uid_local' => [
                        'config' => [
                            'appearance' => [
                                'elementBrowserAllowed' => $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['imagefile_ext']
                            ],
                        ],
                    ],
                ],
            ]
        ]
    ]
];

To decode the json format and use relative points in your fluid template, use the FocuspointProcessor:

tt_content.your_list_type {
   dataProcessing {
      15 = Blueways\BwFocuspointImages\DataProcessing\FocuspointProcessor
      15 {
         references.fieldName = assets
         as = image
      }
   }
}

Note

These snippets assume that references are done via assets column. Change this to your needs.

Upgrade

To version 3.x

In version 3.0.0 the configuration of focuspoint fields has been moved to PageTS in order to make different settings possible in the page tree.

Old TypoScript: plugin.tx_bwfocuspointimages.settings.fields..

New PageTS: mod.tx_bwfocuspointimages.settings.fields..

Just move your existing configuration to PageTS and adjust the prefix from plugin to mod.
