Hi
How to render a youtube thumbnail image file in typo 7.6.9?
If I use
{namespace vhs=FluidTYPO3\Vhs\ViewHelpers}
<vhs:variable.set name="pageUid" value="{data.pid}" />
<vhs:resource.record.fal table="pages" uid="{pageUid}" as="pageMedia" field="media" >
<f:for each="{pageMedia}" as="media" iteration="mediaIteration">
<f:image src="{media.uid}" class="thumbnail" treatIdAsReference="1" />
</f:for>
</vhs:resource.record.fal>
everything works as expected.
I can "upload" a youtube video in page ressources via youtube link and with the snippet above it shows the youtube thumbnail image on my page .
If I want to "translate" this snippet to typoscript, it doesn't work:
lib.youtubethumb = IMAGE
lib.youtubethumb {
file {
import.data = {field: muid}
treatIdAsReference = 1
import.listNum = 0
}
}
I call this snippet via:
<f:cObject typoscriptObjectPath="lib.youtubethumb" data="{muid: media.uid}" />
inside the for loop.
The snippet work for all pictures jpeg jpg png gif, but not for media with .youtube extension.
I also tried:
lib.youtubethumb = IMAGE
lib.youtubethumb {
file {
import.data = {field: muid}
treatIdAsReference = 1
import.listNum = 0
ext = "youtube"
}
}
It doesn't work either.
What am I doing wrong?
My final goal is to put a play icon onto the youtube thumbnail. I want to use GIFBUILDER, but I failed at a very early point. Thats why the snippet is sooo basic :).
Thanks, Cheers
Chris
