What does it do?
----------------
ResizeImageField is a replacement for django's ImageField. It has two major benefits:
1. Creation of thumbnails and scaled images.
1. Extends the image upload form and adds a preview and a checkbox to remove the existing image.
It's easy to use:
- Replace ImageField by ResizeImageField
- No further changes are necessary
Requirements:
-------------
Working installation of PIL, the Python Imaging Library
Usage
-----
- add resize_image to your app
- add resize_filters.py to your templatetags
- in settings.py, set a PHOTO_DIR, f.e. photos/original
- in models.py, add:
- from settings import PHOTO_DIR
- from resize_image import ResizeImageField
- photo = ResizeImageField(upload_to=PHOTO_DIR, blank=True)
Scaled images will be stored in 'photos/scaled',
thumbnails will be stored in 'photos/thumb'.
Access your images from your template. Add::
{% load resize_filters %}
{{ address.photo.url|thumb }}
or::
{{ address.photo.url|scaled }}
Defaults
-------
- Scaled images are max. 200x200 pixels by default
- Thumbnails are 50x50 pixels.
Override the default behaviour in settings.py
Scaling is done by PIL's thumbnail function, transparency is conserved.
