Important: Adapted profile image partial 

Description 

Resources/Private/Partials/Profile/Show/Image.html read the image metadata from a view variable image that is never assigned. The profile detail view of the academicpersonsedit_profileediting plugin therefore never rendered the caption, and it emitted an empty alt and title attribute even when the file carried that metadata.

The profile carries a \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\FileReference , and that class exposes nothing but getOriginalResource() . Every other property path on it resolves to null, which is why {profile.image.alternative} was as empty as {image.description} . All values are now read through originalResource:

<!-- before -->
<img alt="{profile.image.alternative}" title="{profile.image.title}">
<f:if condition="{image.description}">
    <figcaption class="visually-hidden">{image.description}</figcaption>
</f:if>

<!-- after -->
<img alt="{profile.image.originalResource.alternative}"
     title="{profile.image.originalResource.title}">
<f:if condition="{profile.image.originalResource.description}">
    <figcaption class="visually-hidden">{profile.image.originalResource.description}</figcaption>
</f:if>
Copied!

The same partial rendered a copyright, which never worked either and was removed instead of repaired, see Breaking: Adapted frontend editing Fluid files.

Impact 

The profile detail view of the frontend editing plugin now renders

  • the alt and title attribute of the profile image from the file metadata instead of always empty,
  • a figcaption when the image has a description.

Note that nothing in this extension writes image metadata. An image uploaded through the plugin has none until it is maintained in the backend. Installations that never maintained the metadata of their profile images therefore see no change in the rendered output.

Affected Installations 

Installations using the academicpersonsedit_profileediting plugin, and any installation overriding Partials/Profile/Show/Image.html.

Migration 

No configuration change is required.

Installations that override the partial keep their own copy, including its defect. Adopt the property paths above to render the metadata.
