Description

It is already possible to retrieve files from pages|media with slide functionality:

lib.mediaimages = FILES
lib.mediaimages{
    references.data = levelmedia:-1, slide
    renderObj = IMG_RESOURCE
    renderObj{
        file.import.data = file:current:publicUrl
        stdWrap.wrap = |<br />
    }
}

... but there is no option to set a specific language (mainly default language "0" is needed).
There's a little workaround to get such files from the default language via CONTENT cObject ...

lib.mediaimages = CONTENT
lib.mediaimages{
    table = sys_file_reference
    select{
        pidInList = this
        where = tablenames='pages' AND fieldname='media'
        orderBy = sorting_foreign
        languageField = 0
        selectFields = uid_local
    }
    renderObj = FILES
    renderObj{
        files.stdWrap.field = uid_local
        renderObj = IMG_RESOURCE
        renderObj{
            file.import.data = file:current:publicUrl
            stdWrap.wrap = |<br />
        }
    }
}

... but this does not allow slide functionality.
So it would be nice to have an option to select the references's language of FILES/levelmedia, f.e.:

lib.mediaimages = FILES
lib.mediaimages{
    references{
        data = levelmedia:-1, slide
        languageField = 0
    }
    renderObj = IMG_RESOURCE
    renderObj{
        file.import.data = file:current:publicUrl
        stdWrap.wrap = |<br />
    }
}

Hey Ben,

thanks for your feedback.

Sorry to get back to you so late. With TYPO3 v9 (now in ELTS support), we've merged "pages" and "pages_language_overlay" together. The rootline utility (used for "slide") now does properly overlays of languages, and - fields like "pages.media" have the option of "allowLanguageSynchronization". Meaning, you get the right fields for the current language.

I have had the exact same problem a month ago in a TYPO3 v7 installation. We've upgraded to TYPO3 v11 and the issues are now gone.

I do think such an option would be beneficial in some edge-cases, but that would be part of a larger strategy to do proper language handling.

I will close this issue now. Let me know via if you think we should still work on this, and I will re-open the issue.

All the best and merry christmas!
Benni.
