Image Editable

Description

The image editable adds a placeholder for images out of the assets module. The biggest advantages of using that instead of (for example) the relation editable:

• You are able to specify generated thumbnail properties (including high-res)
• There is an image preview rendered in the administration panel
• You can specify additional attributes for generated <img> or <picture>
• You can crop the image directly inline
• You can put hotspots and markers on the actual image

Configuration

Name	Type	Description
title	string	You can give the image widget in editmode a title. Using the new style this title is displayed as a tooltip.
width	integer	Width of the image in pixel
height	integer	Height of the image in pixel
thumbnail	string|array	Name of the configured thumbnail as string or a thumbnail config as array
hidetext	boolean	Hides the input for the ALT-text in editmode
reload	boolean	Set true to reload the page in editmode after updating the image
minWidth	integer	Min. width of the image (in pixel)
minHeight	integer	Min. height of the image (in pixel)
ratioX	integer	Set width in pixel to make sure a fixed aspect ratio size is choosen in the crop tool. Must be used with ratioY.
ratioY	integer	Set height in pixel to make sure a fixed aspect ratio size is choosen in the crop tool. Must be used with ratioX.
uploadPath	string	Target path for (inline) uploaded images. The target folder(s) will be created on the fly, if doesn't exist.
disableInlineUpload	boolean	Disable the inline upload. If set to true, the inline upload functionality will be disabled.
highResolution	float	Factor the thumbnail dimensions should be multiplied with (html attributes width and height contain the original dimensions ... used for Retina displays, print, ...)
dropClass	string	This option can be used to add multiple alternative drop-targets and context menus on custom HTML elements in your code. Just add the class specified here also to custom HTML elements and they will get a drop target too.
deferred	bool	Set to false to disable deferred (on demand) thumbnail rendering
class	string	A CSS class that is added to the surrounding container of this element in editmode
predefinedDataTemplates	array	Add predefined config sets for hotspots and images
cacheBuster	bool	(default: false) Add cache-buster prefix with modificationDate timestamp
required	bool	(default: false) set to true to make field value required for publish

Additionally you can also pass any valid attribute for Thumbnail::getHtml().

Methods

Name	Arguments	Return	Description
getThumbnail($name)	(string/array) $name	Pimcore\Model\Asset\Image\Thumbnail	Get a specific thumbnail of the image
getText() / getAlt()	-	string, alt/title text from the image	The entered alternative text in the widget
getSrc()	-	string, absolute path to the image	The path to the original image which is referenced
getImage()	-	\Pimcore\Model\Asset\Image	The asset object which is referenced (\Pimcore\Model\Asset\Image)
getHotspots()	-	array	Returns the hotspot data (see example below)
getMarker()	-	array	Returns the marker data (see example below)
isEmpty()	-	bool	Whether the editable is empty or not

Examples

Basic usage

{{ pimcore_image("myImage") }}

The code above generates an image area in the backend and displays the image at the frontend.

The empty backend area:

The filled backend area:

Advanced Usage

In the example below you can see how to add a title and specify size of the image area. Note that if you use the thumbnail argument, the rendered image on the frontend will use the specified thumbnail.

Learn more about thumbnails here: Image Thumbnails.

{{ pimcore_image("myImage", {
    "title": "Drag your image here",
    "width": 200,
    "height": 200,
    "thumbnail": "contentimages"
}) }}

An Example with a Direct Thumbnail Configuration

You can also change the thumbnail configuration:

{{ pimcore_image("myImage", {
    "title": "Drag your image here",
    "width": 200,
    "height": 200,
    "thumbnail": {
        "width": 200,
        "height": 200,
        "interlace": true,
        "quality": 90
    }
}) }}

And this is how the rendered html looks: <img custom-attr="value" data-role="image" src="/var/tmp/image-thumbnails/0/56/thumb__content/dsc03807.jpeg" />

Other Advanced Examples

{# Get retina image #}
{{ pimcore_image("myImage", {
    "thumbnail": {
        "width": 200,
        "height": 200
    },
    "highResolution": 2
}) }}

{# Will output<img src="/var/thumb_9999__auto_xxxxxxxx@2x.png" width="200" height="200" /> <!-- but the real image size is 400x400 pixel --> #}


{# Custom image tag (thumbnail objects) #}
{% if editmode %}
    {{ pimcore_image("myImage", {"thumbnail": "myThumbnail"}) }}
{% else %}
    {% set thumbnail = pimcore_image("myImage").getThumbnail("myThumbnail") %}
    <img src="{{ thumbnail }}" width="{{ thumbnail.width }}" height="{{ thumbnail.height }}" />
{% endif %}




{# Custom drop targets #}
<div class="myCustomImageDropTarget anotherClass">My first alternative drop target</div>
{{ pimcore_image("image", {
    "thumbnail": "contentfullimage",
    "dropClass": "myCustomImageDropTarget"
}) }}
<div class="myCustomImageDropTarget someClass">My second alternative drop target</div>

Field-specific Image Cropping for Documents

Backend Usage

Right-click on the image editable in editmode and press Select specific area of image

Now you're able to select the desired area on the image:

Therefore, there is no need any more to define specific images or thumbnails if a specific region of an image should be displayed. Just assign the original image and define field specific cropping directly within the document.

Markers & Hotspots

This functionality is available on every image editable (no configuration necessary).

Setting a marker or a hotspot on an image has no direct effect on the output, the assigned image is displayed as usual.

You as a developer have to get the data out of the image editable to build amazing frontends with it.

You can get the data with the methods getMarker() and getHotspots(). All dimensions are in percent and therefore independent from the image size, you have to change them back to pixels according to your image size.

Code Usage Example

<div>
    <p>
        {{ pimcore_image("myImage", {
            "title": "Drag your image here",
            "width": 400,
            "height": 400,
            "thumbnail": "content"
        }) }}

        {% if not editmode %}
            {% set image = pimcore_image("myImage") %}
            {% if image.getHotspots() %}
                {{ dump(image.getHotspots()) }}
            {% endif %}
            {% if image.getMarker() %}
                {{ dump(image.getMarker()) }}
            {% endif %}
        {% endif %}
    </p>
</div>


{# Predefined Data Templates; use "hotspot" instead of the "marker" key to add templates for hotspots #}

            {

            }
        ]
