Introduction 

This extension does two things:

• You can choose to require the copyright to be entered in the metadata of an image.

• The extension adds the copyright to the frontend:

  • to the caption
  • to the alt tag
  • to the title tag

The copyright in the caption can contain multiple links to external websites.

All you have to do is insert the TypoScript template.

Users 

You have to enter a copyright in the copyright field of the image metadata, if it is obligate. That's all.

If you like to set a link, the rich-text-editor enables the link wizard. All other properties like header or a bold font won't have any effect in the frontend.

Setup 

You have nothing to do but

• enable this extension and
• include the typoscript template.

Configuration 

Debugging 

The EXT:copyright is overwriting fluid partials of the TYPO3 API.

Like in the illustration below the partials of the EXT:copyright will be included at

lib.contentElement.partialRootPaths.21

If you don't have any effect in the frontend – if a copyright is not displayed – the cause is probably, that partials of another extension overwrite image properties.

You can check this effect, if you include the EXT:copyright with the highest element id like

lib.contentElement.partialRootPaths.21 >
lib.contentElement.partialRootPaths.9999 = EXT:copyright/Resources/Private/Partials/

Extensions 

These extensions can be used ready-to-use with EXT: copyright:

• EXT: org
• EXT: start
• EXT: xblog
