<!-- PROJECT SHIELDS --> [](https://get.typo3.org/version/12) # GSB 11 Extension gsb_metadata_cleaner ## About The extension `gsb_metadata_cleaner` helps the reduce the amount of data - especially personal information - in metadata of files. It uses exiftool to delete everything except for "copyright" data and tags which can be configured per storage. This applies to **pdfs** and **images**. It is part of the Government Side Builder 11. [Learn more about the GSB 11][gsb11-readme-url]. ## Installation The best way to install this extension is to start with the [GSB Sitepackage Kickstarter][kickstarter-url] extension. ## Quick installation without GSB Sitepackage Kickstarter In a composer-based TYPO3 installation you can install the extension EXT:gsb_metadata_cleaner via composer: ```sh composer config -g gitlab-domains gitlab.opencode.de && \ composer config -g repositories.gsb-metadata-cleaner vcs https://gitlab.opencode.de/bmi/government-site-builder-11/extensions/gsb_metadata_cleaner ``` ```sh composer require itzbund/gsb-metadata-cleaner ``` In TYPO3 installations above version 11.5 the extension will be automatically installed. You do not have to activate it manually. ## Configuration For each file storage you can configure (`TCA/TSconfig`) which fields (except for `copyright`/`Xmp-dc:Rights`, which are always kept) are preserved. ### Extension Settings The paths to the `exiftool` and `qpdf` binary can be configured. **Note that you cannot configure the binary name itself, just the path to the binaries.** You can disable `qpdf` if it breaks you pdfs. ## Usage Nothing to do. Just include the extension and your file's metadata gets a cleanup 🧹 on upload. ## Contribute As with TYPO3, we encourage you to join the project by submitting changes. Development of the GSB 11 happens mainly in the GSB 11 TYPO3 extension repositories.
