[TYPO3-dam-devel] [TYPO3-dev] Re: RFC #13641: dam_ttcontent: Use new TYPO3 4.3 hook for preview images in page modul

[Steffen Kamper]

Hi,

i know it's offtopic here, but i wonder about the hook (#9078) because 
it's not related to the CType. I would expect

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['cms/layout/class.tx_cms_layout.php']['tt_content_drawItem']['textpic'] 
etc. The drawback of current hook is that it is called for every CType 
which is a bit performance killer.

In case of DAM the function is called for every CE on a page, having 50 
CE's on a page, the hook is called 50 times. If other extensions use 
that hook too, we have 100/150 calls.

Beside that it's in concurrence of the hook
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SC_OPTIONS']['cms/layout/class.tx_cms_layout.php']['list_type_Info']

so i'm confused about having 2 hooks doing the same, eating performance 
and being not specific.

The followup is set to dev-list, where i send this post too.
