Easy thumbnails for Django
Project description
A powerful, yet easy to implement thumbnailing application for Django.
Below is a quick summary of usage. For more comprehensive information, view the full documentation online or the peruse the project’s docs directory.
Installation
Run pip install easy_thumbnails, or for the in-development version run pip install easy_thumbnails==dev.
Add easy_thumbnails to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'easy_thumbnails',
)
If you have South installed then run manage.py migrate easy_thumbnails, otherwise just run manage.py syncdb.
Example usage
Thumbnail options can be predefined in settings.THUMBNAIL_ALIASES or just specified in the template or Python code when run.
Using a predefined alias
Given the following setting:
THUMBNAIL_ALIASES = {
'': {
'avatar': {'size': (50, 50), 'crop': True},
},
}
Template:
{% load thumbnail %}
<img src="{{ profile.photo|thumbnail_url:'avatar' }}" alt="">
Python:
from easy_thumbnails.files import get_thumbnailer thumb_url = get_thumbnailer(profile.photo)['avatar'].url
Manually specifying size / options
Template:
{% load thumbnail %}
<img src="{% thumbnail profile.photo 50x50 crop %}"
Python:
from easy_thumbnails.files import get_thumbnailer
options = {'size': (100, 100), 'crop': True}
thumb_url = get_thumbnailer(profile.photo).get_thumbnail(options).url
Fields
You can use ThumbnailerImageField (or ThumbnailerFileField) for easier access to retrieve or generate thumbnail images, or to .
For example:
from easy_thumbnails.fields import ThumbnailerImageField
class Profile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField('auth.User')
photo = ThumbnailerImageField(upload_to='photos', blank=True)
Accessing the field’s predefined alias in a template:
{% load thumbnail %}
<img src="{{ profile.photo.avatar.url }}" alt="">
Accessing the field’s predefined alias in Python code:
thumb_url = profile.photo['avatar'].url
Thumbnail options
crop
Before scaling the image down to fit within the size bounds, it first cuts the edges of the image to match the requested aspect ratio.
Use crop="smart" to try to keep the most interesting part of the image,
Use crop="0,10" to crop from the left edge and a 10% offset from the top edge. Crop from a single edge by leaving dimension empty (e.g. crop=",0"). Offset from the right / bottom by using negative numbers (e.g., crop=”-0,-10”).
Often used with the upscale option, which will allow enlarging of the image during scaling.
quality=XX
Changes the quality of the output JPEG thumbnail. Defaults to 85.
In Python code, this is given as a separate option to the get_thumbnail method rather than just alter the other
Other options
Valid thumbnail options are determined by the “thumbnail processors” installed.
See the reference documentation for a complete list of options provided by the default thumbnail processors.
Changes
1.1
Added a way to avoid generating thumbnails if they don’t exist already (with a signal to deal with them elsewhere).
Added a thumbnailer_passive filter to allow templates to use the non-generating thumbnails functionality when dealing with aliases.
1.0.3
Changed the exception to catch from 1.0.2 to IOError.
1.0.2
Catch an OSError exception when trying to get the EXIF data of a touchy image.
1.0.1
Fix a Django 1.2 backwards incompatibility in easy_thumbnails.conf
Introduced a thumbnail_created signal.
1.0
Introduction of aliased thumbnails.
Start of sane versioning numbers.
