Introduction¶

What does it do?¶

"jb_gd_resize" replaces the ImageMagick based functions used by Typo3 to resize frontend images and create BE thumbnails by GD2 functions. This is useful if PHP is installed safe_mode or with disabled exec-functions as many providers do. With this extensions you can use GD functions provided by PHP to achieve the required functionality e.g. for ImageGalleries.

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
