Informations about the package cloudinary
Cloudinary Integration - FAL Driver
A TYPO3 extension that connect TYPO3 with Cloudinary services by the means of a Cloudinary Driver for FAL. The extension also provides various View Helpers to render images on the Frontend. Cloudinary is a service provider dealing with images and videos. It offers various services among other:
- CDN for fast images and videos delivering
- Manipulation of images and videos such as cropping, resizing and much more...
- DAM functionalities where images can be tagged and metadata edited
Compatibility and Maintenance
This package is currently maintained for the following versions:
TYPO3 Version | Package Version | Branch | Maintained |
---|---|---|---|
TYPO3 11.5.x | 4.x | master | Yes |
TYPO3 11.5.x | 3.x | - | No |
TYPO3 11.5.x | 0.x | - | No |
Installation
The extension should be done by Composer
Note that the extension will require the library cloudinary/cloudinary_php
and
be automatically downloaded into vendor
.
Configuration
If it is not already the case, create an account on Cloudinary at first. Once the extension is installed, we should create a file storage.
For a new "file storage" record, then:
- Pick the Cloudinary driver in the driver dropdown menu.
- Fill in the requested fields. Password and secrets can be found from the Cloudinary Console.
Once the record is saved, you should see a message telling the connection could be successfully established. You can now head to the File module list. Notice the first time you click on a folder in the File list module, it will take some time since the images must be fetched and put into the cloudinary cache.
Notice you can also use environment variable to configure the storage.
The environment variable should be surrounded by %. Example %env(BUCKET_NAME%)
Logging
For the debug purposes Cloudinary API calls are logged to better track and understand how and when the API is called. It might be useful to check the log file in case of a low response time in the BE.
To decide: we now have log level INFO. We might consider "increasing" the level to "DEBUG".
Caveats and trouble shooting
- Free Cloudinary account allows 500 API request per day
- This cloudinary FAL driver is currently limited to images.
ViewHelpers
The extension provides ViewHelpers that can be used like that:
- Output an images and its source-set.
This will produces the following output:
- Generate an array of variants that can be iterated.
CLI Command
Move bunch of images from a local storage to a cloudinary storage.
CAUTIOUS!
- Moving means: we are "manually" uploading a file (skipping FAL API)
to the Cloudinary storage and deleting the one from the local storage (rm -f FILE)
Finally we are changing the
sys_file.storage value
to the cloudinary storage. The file uid will be kept!
After "moving" files you should fix the jpeg extension for the Cloudinary storage by running
the command below.
It is worth mentioning that Cloudinary stripped the file extension for images. For instance
a file image.jpg
or image.jpeg
uploaded on Cloudinary will be stored as image
without the file extension. By inspecting the file, we will see that Cloudinary only consider
the "jpg" extension. Consequently image.jpeg
will be served as image.jpg
.
This has an implication for us. Record from table sys_file
must be adjusted and occurrences
jpeg
in file identifier or file name must be changed to jpg
for consistency.
Tip: to sync / upload a bunch of files, you can use the Cloudinary CLI which is convenient to upload many resources at once.
The extension provides also a tool to copy a bunch of files (restricted to images) from one storage to an another. This can be achieved with this command:
For your information a set of acceptance tests has been implemented to validate the functionnalities of the driver.
Development tools
Type command make
at the source of the extension to display utility commands related to code formatting.
Web Hook
Whenever uploading or editing a file through the Cloudinary Manager you can configure an URL as a web hook to be called to invalidate the cache in TYPO3. This is highly recommended to keep the data consistent between Cloudinary and TYPO3.
Beware: Do not rename, move or delete files in the Cloudinary Media Library. TYPO3 will not know about the change. We may need to implement a web hook. For now, it is necessary to perform these action in the File module in the Backend.
