[FLOW3-general] [RFC] Image ViewHelper in Fluid or Media Package?

[Bastian Waidelich]

Hi all,

the subject says it all:
Adrian has created a nice Image ViewHelper [1] that makes use of the 
TYPO3.Media & Imagine packages in order to render thumbnails.
Due to this dependency it might make sense to include the ViewHelper to 
the Media package. The drawback is that you always need to import that 
namespace if you want to work with images in Fluid (which is a quite 
common case of course).

So I see two possibilities:

1. Include it with TYPO3.Fluid like in v4 (f:image) and tell the users 
to install the Media package when using it

2. Include it with TYPO3.Media and let the user import the namespace (we 
could think about global namespace identifiers)

What do you think?

Best,
Bastian
