As far as I know, there's no such thing as an f:link.file or v:link.file viewhelper.
There used to be a solution using file.originalResource.publicUrl as the value to point the link to, as in
<f:link.page pageUid="{file.originalResource.publicUrl}" target="_blank">
Am I right that this is no longer necessary? I got this (using ext:mask):
<f:link.page pageUid="{file.identifier}" target="_blank">
returning the same value, while originalResource.publicUrl would not even show up in f:debug.
BUT in file.identifier the storage path, e.g. fileadmin, is not present. How do I add it to the viewhelper?
Or, what is the currently recommended solution for a link to a file in TYPO3 7.6?
Just use {file.name}. When absolute URL or some special configuration is needed use <f:link.typolink parameter="{file.publicUrl}">{file.name}</f:link.typolink>.
TYPO3 11 introduced a new ViewHelper for this
<f:link.file file="{file}" target="_blank">Download</f:link.file>
https://docs.typo3.org/other/typo3/view-helper-reference/11.5/en-us/typo3/fluid/latest/Link/File.html
For me, #minifranske’s solution worked only as a hint: I needed to use {file.originalResource.publicUrl} instead:
<f:link.typolink parameter="{file.originalResource.publicUrl}">{file.originalResource.title}</f:link.typolink>
also available:
{file.originalResource.name}
{file.originalResource.description}
{file.originalResource.alternative}
Nevertheless, if anybody knows a proper core solution which resembles that of the Rich Text Editor, I’d be happy to hear about it:
file link
page link
<f:uri.image image="{imageObject}" /> produces the path + filename for your FAL object.

I found this example in the TYPO3 documentation:
<f:be.uri route="web_ts" parameters="{id: 92}"/>
Unfortunately the doc doesn't explain, what "route" is for.
"parameters" is for key-value-pairs (given to TYPO3 to work with), but unfortunately it isn't mentioned, how to add more than one and how they would become seperated.
Furthermore the doc is mentioning an argument "referenceType", which also isn't explained.
May I ask for some help/explanation for it?
Edit: The title of the question doesn't really reflect the nature of my question. stackoverflow wasn't allowing me to use a more precise one.
The documentation https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/master/en-us/ApiOverview/BackendRouting/Index.html explains backend routes quite well.
Furthermore the backend module "Configuration" > Backend Routes lists all available routes.
The core itself is most of the time a good example how ViewHelpers can be used, so a random example which covers quite a lot is the following one
<a href="{f:be.uri(route:'site_redirects', parameters: '{action: \'overview\', demand: demand.parameters, page: 1}')}" title="{f:translate(extensionName: 'fluid', key:'widget.pagination.first')}">
<core:icon identifier="actions-view-paging-first" />
</a>
Checking the implementation, referenceType can either be url or absolute to change the type of urls generated. I don't see currently the need to set this, so I guess you won't need it as well.
First, here is the Typoscript :
20 = TEXT
20 {
value {
field = field_title
wrap = |.txt
}
filelink {
stdWrap.wrap = <li>|</li>
path = fileadmin/txt-files/
}
}
The result I get is :
<li>
<a href="/fileadmin/txt-files/Title.txt">
<img src="typo3/sysext/frontend/Resources/Public/Icons/FileIcons/txt.png">
</a>
</li>
And what I need is :
<li>
<a href="/fileadmin/force_download_script.php?filepath=/fileadmin/txt-files/Title.txt">
<img src="typo3/sysext/frontend/Resources/Public/Icons/FileIcons/txt.png">
</a>
</li>
I need to make the link downloadable, rather than opening the file in the browser. For that I have a force_download_script.php, but when I do that :
wrap = fileadmin/force_download_script.php?filepath=|txt
instead of the current wrap, filelink doesn't find the file anymore.
I have tried using ATagBeforeWrap.wrap but it doesn't look like it's made for that purpose. I also tried typolinkConfiguration.wrap without any success.
Any idea of how to achieve that ? Using a COA maybe ?
Thank you !
I would not do this with a script, but with server configuration. If you use Apache and have .htaccess enabled, you can add the configuration to a .htaccess file in the directory where the files are located. See https://css-tricks.com/snippets/htaccess/force-files-to-download-not-open-in-browser/
Alternatively you can also use the HTML5 download attribute. This is not supported by Internet Explorer however (it is supported by Edge though).
The issue can get quite a bit complicated, but step by step:
your code above might be wrong if it's not just a copy & paste fault:
wrap = fileadmin/force_download_script.php?filepath=|.txt
The dot before txt was missing.
Nevertheless it is still interesting if the php-script is triggered.
It's possible that the script is not triggered due to some settings in typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php respectively some settings in the install-tool.
Depending on the TYPO3-Version it's also possible that the script is not triggered at all because all scripts are being required now in an extension. That means you might need to create an extension for that script.
Also simple wrapping of the result with the script-path might not be enough, but you have to call it explicitly by TypoScript perhaps by including the script as user-function or lib.
The admin-panel might be useful to debug some things about your script but if not you've to include some debug-output first in your own code, if that's not enough in the core (temporary).
So you've to find out if your script is triggered and if not, the reason for it.
Are you sure .filelink is what you are looking for?
.filelink is for a set of files. For all files in the folder given by .path a link will be generated. see manual
From your description you want a text wrapped with a link to one single file. That would be more a problem for .typolink where you specify the link in .parameter.
if you really want a link list of multiple files, each wrapped with your script you need to modify .typolinkConfiguration.parameter which will be used internaly by .filelink.
Anyway it might be possible to do a wrap which then would be:
.typolinkConfiguration.parameter.wrap = /fileadmin/force_download_script.php?|
Maybe it is easier to build your list with .stdWrap.filelist, where you can use the filenames in any way to wrap your own href parameter for an A-tag.
To use the TYPO3 core solution with file links you can use this guide:
Create a file storage where you want your "secured" files in TYPO3 backend
Do not set the checkbox "Is public?" in the storage record
The links will be rendered with eID and file parameters
You can look into the FileDumpController handling these links: https://github.com/TYPO3/TYPO3.CMS/blob/2348992f8e3045610636666af096911436fa1c89/typo3/sysext/core/Classes/Controller/FileDumpController.php
You can use the included hook to extend this controller with your logic.
Unfortunately I can't find any official documentation for this feature, but will post it when I find something or wrote it myself. ;)
Maybe this can help you, too: https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/fal_securedownload/
Here is the official part, but it's not much: https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/CoreApiReference/ApiOverview/Fal/Administration/Storages.html?highlight=filedumpcontroller
I want to crop images in Fluid with the f:image or the f:uri.image viewhelper (TYPO3 8.7). Since TYPO3 7.2 the usual way does not work anymore:
This:
<f:image image="{file}" width="500c" height="500" />
does not work.
In the fluid guide I found the hint that since TYPO3 7.2 I have to use crop. I found this in the change log:
https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/core/7.6/Changelog/7.2/Feature-65584-AddImageCropping.html
So this should work, but it doesnt:
<f:image image="{file}" crop="0,0,500,500" />
The images are rendered but in default size.
Any ideas? Anything changed in later versions?
I tried with a fresh installation and found my fault.
cropping with c and m does indeed work in TYPO3 8 - the hint in the fluid manual is wrong.
in short syntax you have to use '' in order to send the c or m correct.
This syntax is wrong:
<img src="{f:uri.image(image:file, width:200c, height:200)}">
there is no error message and the images are rendered but the letter c is ignored. You have to use this syntax:
<img src="{f:uri.image(image:file, width:'200c', height:'200')}">
this will work.
One additional hint: after changing the syntax the images are not rendered every time but only when the size has changed. Sometimes you get simply the cached images ... Deleting the content on /fileadmin/_temp does help.
Well - perhaps it will help some one :-)
You can use f:image like below. it's work for me.
<f:image src="{file.originalResource.publicUrl}" width="770c" height="517c" height="350c" />
You could also specify the crop settings in tca and use this settings in the FE, for an example look at the repository : https://github.com/frans-beech-it/t3ext-config_examples.
Besides that, in the install tool you can check if cropping works on your machine. It can happen that there are already processed images for your size, if you adjust the cropping information of image with 1px a new processed image is created. If then the image works, clear the processed files to generate a new image for your desired formats.
In a fluid template, I would like to output a linked file's size.
I'm using f:link.page to link to the file, as I think this is the way to do it (please correct if not).
<f:link.page class="download" pageUid="fileadmin/redaktion/download/papers/{paper.download}" {paper.author}">PDF</f:link.page>
As I'm already using the extension ml_links on the site, I thought I could pass the link through lib.parseFunc_RTE, but
<f:format.html parseFuncTSPath="lib.parseFunc_RTE"><f:link.page class="download" pageUid="fileadmin/redaktion/download/papers/{paper.download}" {paper.author}">PDF</f:link.page></f:format.html>
just wraps it into p.bodytext.
Do I have to use a different syntax to apply f:format.html TO f:link.page - or is there a better way to do it (via a fluid or vhs viewhelper)?
Actually custom VH is fastest way to achieve that, i.e. basing on this VH, you'll need to replace size param with a file path, and then use i.e. filesize function of PHP to fetch the size in bytes.
Here's my VH:
https://gist.github.com/ursbraem/9645542
I've simplified the original a little, outputting "KiB" for file size is too technical for me.
The easiest way is to use native TYPO3 FAL parameter originalFile.size :
{audio.0.originalFile.size -> f:format.bytes()}
When i use fluidcontent i have vhs extension installed aswell and then just use:
<f:format.bytes decimals="1">{v:media.size(path: '{file}')}</f:format.bytes>
This outputs clean readable sizes like "28.2 MB".
If you are using VHS you may consider https://fluidtypo3.org/viewhelpers/vhs/master/Media/SizeViewHelper.html (in combination with f:format.bytes).
In newer TYPO3 versions you can use the originalResource.size attribute of a FileReference object.
{file.originalResource.size -> f:format.bytes()}
or in your case:
{paper.download.originalResource.size -> f:format.bytes()}
TYPO3 10
I needed a file size output for a DCE module in TYPO3 10, this is what I came up with, using VHS:
<f:format.bytes><v:media.size><v:format.trim characters="/"><f:uri.typolink parameter="{item.link}" /></v:format.trim></v:media.size></f:format.bytes>
Explained:
f:uri.typolink generates the full path I need for v:media.size
v:media.size requires the path without a leading slash, v:format.trim removes this character.
f:format.bytes displays the output from v:media.size in KB or MB.
i've created a Custom Content Element with Fluid and Extbase (TYPO3 6.1), in which you can define a picture.
In the picture-settings i can set a img-link, which is targetting a file.
In my Controller i can access this data with
$this->configurationManager->getContentObject();
But i just get a file-reference for this setting and no path. like this:
file:1206
I've googled a lot and i didn't find a solution to access the path. Has anybody a solution or knows maybe a function in the configurationmanager or something else? I've spend hours on this problem...
Thanks a lot!
If you need to get image from FAL than use following image view helper
<f:image src="{object.image_field.uid}" alt="{object.image_field.originalResource.title}" width="640" height="291" treatIdAsReference="1" />
If you just need url of image than use following line
{object.image.originalResource.publicUrl}..
Hurray.
What you have there, is a file reference of FAL, the file abstraction layer.
First things first, if you use FlexForms in combination with ActionController (or any realisation of AbstractController) you should be able to access the settings property to compute your FlexForm values.
To compute sys_file_reference records, you should refer to the FAL docs on typo3.org (and the perma-linked section about file and folder handling).
In general, you should be able to call getOriginalResource() on a \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\FileReference object. For more concrete examples, either refer to the doc links or have a look at the wiki for a example handling FileReferences.
If you want to compute such reference via fluid templating, you can use the treatIdAsReference argument on f:image:
<f:image src="{imageObj.uid}" width="150" height="100" treatIdAsReference="1" />
He is asking for a path and not for an image. This prints the path in fluid templates:
{f:uri.image(src:'{object.uid}',treatIdAsReference:'1')}
