TYPO3 tips

Our internal workflow

TYPO3 GmbH has recently started an interesting blog. In this article, Susanne Moog describes the internal workflow with tools such as Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Slack and others.

Adjust aspect ratios in the image editor

Since TYPO3 7.6, the aspect ratio of images can be changed for output, for example in content elements or in the page properties. The original image is not changed. In addition to the option of freely selecting the image section, various aspect ratios are predefined. These can be adjusted as required with a few lines of TSconfig.

Use content element relations in TYPO3 extensions

Using standard content elements in your own extensions - here's how.

TYPO3 Extensions

Backend user batch create

With the beuserbatch extension, many backend users can be created quickly. The data can be imported from a CSV file. Certainly useful for one or the other.

TYPO3 frontend editing release 0.0.1

The Pixelant agency is developing a new frontend editor. A very early version has been published on Github and is looking forward to testers and contributors.

Custom Content Elements made easy - EXT:mask

Most readers of the newsletter are probably already familiar with the Mask extension. If not, Mask makes it very easy to create individual content elements. Marcus Schwemer gives a brief introduction to Mask in his blog.

Our Blog extension is now available for download

The TYPO3 GmbH blog was implemented with its own extension. This was recently published and can be used by anyone.

  • Resize images automatically
    image_autoresize
    by Xavier Perseguers (Causal)
    Simplify the way your editors may upload their images: no complex local procedure needed, let TYPO3 automatically resize down their huge images/pictures on-the-fly during upload (or using a scheduler task for batch processing) and according to your own business rules (directory/groups). This will highly reduce the footprint on your server and speed-up response time if lots of images are rendered (e.g., in a gallery). Features an EXIF/IPTC extractor to ensure metadata may be used by the FAL indexer even if not preserved upon resizing.
