Introduction¶
What does it do?¶
ALTAIR GD Magick aims to be a drop-in replacement for ImageMagick when this one is not available at the hoster. The extension uses GD to replace the functionality of IM (obviously as far as it can due to the limitations of GD).
The main purpose of this extension is to generate thumbnails by GD the same way the original Typo3 core does by IM, i.e. the same typoscript code should result in the same image.
The idea of this extension comes fomr jb_gd_resize and srgd Typo3 extensions (thanks to Jan Bednarikand Sebastien Rueggfor their work!), but tries to be more compatible with the original IM based methods and replace less of the original Typo3 code.
Supported image formats: GIF, JPEG, PNG
Requirements¶
Typo3 Version 4.0¶
You will need Typo3 Version 4.0 or higher for this extension to work.
GD¶
You need a PHP version with GD2-support compiled in. You might test your installation by calling a .php-file with following content:
<? phpinfo(); ?>
There you shoud find a box called "GD" with "GD Support: enabled" and "GD Version: ... (2.X.XX) inside as well as the supported image types.
Installation¶
Just install the extension by the ExtensionManager as usual.
Configuration¶
There is no further configuration needed.
Limitations¶
- Transparent GIF support is limited
- Animated GIF: only the first picture will be resized
- Masking does not currently work.
Special thanks¶
Thanks a lot to Jan Bednarik, whose code and documentation served as starting point of the work
