Crop fal_media images in News extension in TYPO3 8.7.1

I want to crop images in list view. In TypoScript setup I define:

plugin.tx_news.settings.list.image.maxWidth = 185c

next, in FLUID templates:

<f:image image="{mediaElement}" maxWidth={settings.list.image.maxWidth}"/>

but the image is not cropped to desired width. Instead it's processed in generic width and height. Looks like, when addding c both cropping and rescaling are ingored. When I replace 185c with 185, the image is properly scaled down to 185px width. Do you know how to enable/debug cropping option?

FYI: I'm using ImageMagic and in Install Tool, Image Handling settings are set properly. I've checked in "Test setup" and writing, converting, scaling images works without problem.

TYPO3 8.7.1, tx_news 6.1.0-dev

Solution

  • To problem is that maxWidth doesn't work with the c append. Change maxWidth to width at the image viewhelper in your fluid code to let the append crop the image.
