Textimage size

What is this? 

Textimage_size is a little plugin to allow you select a different layout size for the content type: text/image, text/pic, text/media. The main purpose is to "break" the bootstrap package limitation, that offerts only the 50% space to text and the 50% space to host one or more images.

Requirements

This plugin depends on bootstrap_package > 9.5 and requires TYPO3 v.9.5+ (also works fine with TYPO3 v. 10.x)

Download

Download it from T3 repository

Howto install

  • Download it from T3 repository (via extension manager) then run the installation process

Howto use

  • Edit the preferred content, i.e. text with media
  • Under tab Appearance, section Layout select the preferred  size for the image column (options: image/media size from 8% to 91%)

Dermo 6

On some cases you want to obtain the following output, where you put the image to the left (resized to 25%) without any text to the right. In this way you can get a single image aligned (right/left side) with the preferred witdh:

Demo 7

Following the previous example, here the image container is set to 66% of the column space available (100%). As you can see here, the output was set to 4 images (1 row), with the option "Beside text left";  if you select "Beside text, right" you obtain a different output with the images aligned to the right side.
