Question

What is the equivalent of this Typoscript in PHP?

10 = IMAGE
10.file{
    width = 400
    height = 300
    import = uploads/pics/
    import.field = image
}

I’m guessing there is something in TYPO3 libraries that does the same. I have Imagemagick installed.

In pi1 class of your ext:

$mediaArray = explode(',', $row['media']);
$imgConf = array();
$imgConf['file'] = 'uploads/media/'.$mediaArray[0];
$imgConf['altText'] = $row['nav_title']?$row['nav_title']:$row['title'];
$imgConf['file.'] = $conf['somePreset.']['file.'];
$image = $this->cObj->IMAGE($imgConf);

in TypoScript template:

plugin.tx_myext_pi1.somePreset.file {
  maxW = 320
  maxH = 130
}

You can also set the dimensions directly in PHP by replacing:

$imgConf['file.'] = $conf['somePreset.']['file.'];

with inline array():

$imgConf['file.'] = array(
  'maxW' => '320',
  'maxH' => '130',
);
