Media Upload for TYPO3 CMS
==========================

[](#media-upload-for-typo3-cms)

This extension for [TYPO3 CMS](http://typo3.org/) provides a Fluid widget for (mass) uploading media on the Frontend using HTML5 techniques. Once selected by the User, the Media will be directly uploaded to a temporary space within `typo3temp`. After the form is posted, uploaded File can be retrieved by an `UploadService`.

If the form has a "show" step before the final submission, the uploaded images can be displayed by another widget.

The file upload is handled by Fine Uploader which is a Javascript plugin aiming to bring a user-friendly file-uploading experience over the web. The plugin relies on HTML5 technology which enables Drag &amp; Drop from the Desktop. File transfer is achieved by Ajax if supported. If not, a fall back method with classical file upload is used by posting the file. (Though, the legacy approach still need to be tested more thoroughly).

After a file has been uploaded, the user can validate and possibly remove it from the list.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The installation is completed in two steps. Install the extension as normal in the Extension Manager. Then, load the JavaScript / CSS for the pages that will contain the upload widget. The extension assumes jQuery to be loaded:

```
# CSS
EXT:media_upload/Resources/Public/Build/media_upload.min.css

# JavaScript
EXT:media_upload/Resources/Public/Build/media_upload.min.js
```

Upload Widget
-------------

[](#upload-widget)

You can make use of a Media Upload widget. Syntax is as follows:

```
# Minimum syntax

{namespace mu=Fab\MediaUpload\ViewHelpers}

# With some more attributes... We assume we have a property "images" in our model
# and this value could be something different like "documents" or whatever.

# Required attributes:
# --------------------
#
# - storage

# Default values:
# ---------------
#
# The Storage identifier to get some automatic settings, such as allowedExtensions, default NULL.
# storage = 1
#
# Allowed extension to be uploaded. Override the allowed extension list from the storage. default NULL.
# allowedExtensions = "jpg, png"
#
# Maximum size allowed by the plugin, default 0.
# maximumSize =
#
# The unit used for computing the maximumSize, default Mo.
# sizeUnit = Mo
#
# Maximum items to be uploaded, default 10.
# maximumItems = 10
#
# The property to be used for retrieving the uploaded images, default NULL.
# property = foo
```

To see the uploaded images in a second step:

```

# The property to be used for retrieving the uploaded images, default NULL.
# property = foo
```

Upload Service
--------------

[](#upload-service)

Once files have been uploaded on the Frontend and are placed in a temporary directory, we have to to retrieve them and store them into their final location. This code can be used in your controller:

```
/**
 * @var \Fab\MediaUpload\Service\UploadFileService
 * @inject
 */
protected $uploadFileService;

/**
 * @return void
 */
public function createAction() {

        /** @var array $uploadedFiles */
        $uploadedFiles = $this->uploadFileService->getUploadedFiles()

        # A property name is needed in case specified in the Fluid Widget
        #
        $uploadedFiles = $this->uploadFileService->getUploadedFiles('images')

        # Process uploaded files and move them into a Resource Storage (FAL)
        foreach($uploadedFiles as $uploadedFile) {

                /** @var \Fab\MediaUpload\UploadedFile $uploadedFile */
                $uploadedFile->getTemporaryFileNameAndPath();

                $storage = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(ResourceFactory::class)->getStorageObject(1);

                /** @var File $file */
                $file = $storage->addFile(
                        $uploadedFile->getTemporaryFileNameAndPath(),
                        $storage->getRootLevelFolder(),
                        $uploadedFile->getFileName(),
                        \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\DuplicationBehavior::RENAME
                );

                # Note: Use method `addUploadedFile` instead of `addFile` if file is uploaded
                # via a regular "input" control instead of the upload widget (fine uploader plugin)
                # $file = $storage->addUploadedFile()

                $fileReference = $this->objectManager->get(\YourVendor\YourExtensionKey\Domain\Model\FileReference::class);
                $fileReference->setFile($file);
                $yourDomainObject->addImages($fileReference);
        }
        ...
}
```

File Configuration in FAL
-------------------------

[](#file-configuration-in-fal)

How to configure a field / property of type file?

### SQL

[](#sql)

```
CREATE TABLE tx_domain_model_foo (
        images varchar(255) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
);
```

### TCA

[](#tca)

```
$TCA['tx_domain_model_foo'] = array(
    'images' => array(
            'label' => 'Images',
            'config' => \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::getFileFieldTCAConfig(
                'images',
                array(
                    'appearance' => array(
                            'createNewRelationLinkTitle' => 'LLL:EXT:cms/locallang_ttc.xlf:images.addFileReference'
                    ),
                'minitems' => 0,
                'maxitems' => 1,
            ),
            $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['imagefile_ext']
        ),
    ),
);
```

### Model

[](#model)

Your domain model, should then contain the method `addImages` for the purpose of `$yourDomainObject->addImages($fileReference);`. See code above in the Upload Service.

```
/**
 * Images
 * @var \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Persistence\ObjectStorage
 */
protected $images;

public function addImages(\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\FileReference $image) {
    $this->images->attach($image);
}
```

### File Reference Model

[](#file-reference-model)

We must extend the FileReference for the purpose of `$fileReference->setFile($file);``. See code above in the Upload Service.

```
namespace YourVendor\YourExtensionKey\Domain\Model;

class FileReference extends \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\FileReference {

    /**
     * @params \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\File $file
     */
        public function setFile(\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\File $file) {
                $this->originalFileIdentifier = (int)$file->getUid();
        }
}
```

### Configuration Extbase Persistence

[](#configuration-extbase-persistence)

::Finally we must configure the persistence layer of Extbase. Instead of configuration via typoscript, you now have to create the followin php file: "YourExtensionFolder"ConfigurationExtbasePersistanceClasses.php see:

&lt;?php declare(strict\_types=1); return \[

> YourVendorYourExtensionKeyDomainModelFileReference::class =&gt; \['tableName' =&gt; 'sys\_file\_reference', 'properties' =&gt; \[
>
> > 'originalFileIdentifier' =&gt; \['fieldName' =&gt; 'uid\_local',\],
>
> \],
>
> \],

\];

Security
--------

[](#security)

By default Media Upload require a Frontend User to be authenticated. This can be adjusted according to your needs by selecting only allowed Frontend User Group. This behaviour can be configured by TypoScript.

```
plugin.tx_mediaupload {

        settings {

                # "*", means every authenticated User can upload. (default)
                # "1,2", means every User belonging of Frontend Groups 1 and 2 are allowed.
                # no value, everybody can upload. No authentication is required. Caution!!

                allowedFrontendGroups = *
        }
}
```

The TYPO3 Behavior of Restriction of allowed / denied Filetypes has changed.

Scheduler tasks
---------------

[](#scheduler-tasks)

The temporary files contained within `typo3temp` can be flushed from time to time. It could be files are left aside if the user has not finalized the upload. The Command can be used via a scheduler task with a low redundancy, once per week as instance:

```
# List all temporary files
./vendor/bin/typo3cms mediaupload:removeTempFiles rundry

# Remove them.
./vendor/bin/typo3cms mediaupload:removeTempFiles
```

Building assets in development
------------------------------

[](#building-assets-in-development)

The extension provides JS / CSS bundles which included all the necessary code. If you need to make a new build for those JS / CSS files, consider that [Bower](http://bower.io/) and [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) must be installed on your system as prerequisite.

Install the required Web Components:

```
cd typo3conf/ext/media_upload

# This will populate the directory Resources/Public/WebComponents.
bower install

# Install the necessary NodeJS package.
npm install
```

Then you must build Fine Uploader from the source:

```
cd Resources/Private/BowerComponents/fine-uploader

# Install the necessary NodeJS package inside "fine-uploader".
npm install

# Do the packaging works. It will create a "_dist" directory containing the build.
grunt package
```

Finally, you can run the Grunt of the extension to generate a build:

```
cd typo3conf/ext/media_upload
grunt build
```

While developing, you can use the `watch` which will generate the build as you edit files:

```
grunt watch
```

Version 3.x Breacking Changes
-----------------------------

[](#version-3x-breacking-changes)

When upgrading vom Version prior 3 to vesion 3 and cahngeing TPO3 version from 9 to 10, the configuration of the extbase persistance mapping needs to be changed from typoscript to a php class. see section: Configuration Extbase Persistence

The scheduler Tasks should now be run via TYPO3 Commandline command.
