Couldn't get the original to work, and wanted more functionality (scale on x or y coordinates)

<img src="{{ object.image.url }}" alt="original image">
<img src="{{ object.image|thumbnail:"250w" }}" alt="image resized to 250w x (calculated/scaled)h ">
<img src="{{ object.image|thumbnail:"250h" }}" alt="image resized to (calculated/scaled)w x 250h h ">
<img src="{{ object.image|thumbnail:"250x200" }}" alt="image resized to 250wx200h ">
<img src="{{ object.image|thumbnail }}" alt="image resized to default 200w (or whatever you default it to) format">

Just what I wanted, thanks. In case the original image does not exist, I added a try and except block around the whole thing so it return a empty string.

def thumbnail(file, size='200w'):

miniature_url=''

try:

    # defining the size
    if (size.lower().endswith('h')):


  ... rest of code ...


except:
    miniature_url=''


return miniature_url
