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

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

Methods

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>

getHotspots output:

  [0] => array(6) {
    ["top"] => float(36.8)
    ["left"] => float(39.5)
    ["width"] => int(5)
