README

Faster and less memory hungry thumbnail generation for TYPO3 with libvips

Here is a speed and memory comparison: https://github.com/libvips/libvips/wiki/Speed-and-memory-use

Prerequisites

The PHP module vips with version 8.8+ needs to be present on the server. The versions 8.5+ may work, but are not tested.

@jcupitt provides some Dockerfiles which may help you to get a newer version.

The module can be installed with pecl install vips

Installation

composer require christophlehmann/vips

Configuration

By default the file types jpg,jpeg,png,webp,pdf are handled. Other types are handled through TYPO3. This list can be configured in EM. If you have problems with certain file types just deactivate them.

Implemented functionality

• Crop images
• Scale images
• Mask images (currently done with TYPO3's default image processor)
• Handle upscaling
• Handle cropping by parameters like height=100c

Debugging

Add the logging configuration to typo3conf/AdditionalConfiguration.php

<?php
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['LOG']['Lemming']['Vips']['writerConfiguration'] = [
    \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Log\LogLevel::DEBUG => [
        \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Log\Writer\FileWriter::class => [
            'logFileInfix' => 'vips'
        ]
    ]
];

Then create a thumbnail and check the log typo3temp/var/log/typo3_vips_ea8bea6399.log
