Introduction

This extension adds infos to linked files in your website (filetype and -size). For example: document.pdf (Pdf-file, 2.1 MB)

Administration

Installation

Install this extension via composer

composer req peterbenke/pb-fileinfo

=> Then include the static Typoscript in your template

Configuration

You can change the following values by the Constant-Editor:

• Wrap
• Write the fileinfo outside or within the a-tag

By default, the following file-extensions are considered:

• pdf
• doc
• xls
• zip
• mp3
• mp4

You can expand this list by typoscript. Here you see the whole typoscript, which comes from the extension:

tx_pb_fileinfo {

    enable = 1
    wrap = {$tx_pb_fileinfo.wrap}
    # inner: within the a-tag
    # outer: outside the a-tag
    mode = {$tx_pb_fileinfo.mode}
    fileInfos{
        # on the left-side: file-extension
        # %s is the placeholder for the filesize
        pdf = (Pdf-file, %s)
        doc = (Word-file, %s)
        xls = (Excel-file, %s)
        zip = (Zip-file, %s)
        mp3 = (MP3-file, %s)
        mp4 = (MP4-file, %s)
    }

}
[globalVar = GP:L=0]
    tx_pb_fileinfo {

        fileInfos{
            pdf = (Pdf-Datei, %s)
            doc = (Word-Datei, %s)
            xls = (Excel-Datei, %s)
            zip = (Zip-Datei, %s)
            mp3 = (MP3-Datei, %s)
            mp4 = (MP4-Datei, %s)
        }

    }
[global]
[globalVar = GP:L=1]
    tx_pb_fileinfo {

        fileInfos{
            pdf = (Pdf-file, %s)
            doc = (Word-file, %s)
            xls = (Excel-file, %s)
            zip = (Zip-file, %s)
            mp3 = (MP3-file, %s)
            mp4 = (MP4-file, %s)
        }

    }
[global]

%s is the placeholder for the calculated filesize.

Note: This is not the most beautiful way to distinguish between the languages, but there is more flexibility to add new file-extensions. You just have to adjust your ids from your sys-language-records.
