Saving a new image via the model

Using r9679 (I can svn up if needbe ;) ) How exactly do I save my new resized image? I couldn't quite find any documentation on this either. The "easy" way almost seems to do it by writing out the file on my own and just setting the imagefield to the filename... but there seems like there

I did a lot of symfony stuff on the side about a year ago, and now it's the framework that I we use for our frontend servers at Delicious.com. It was through symfony that I found out about Django, and started using it quite a bit... so I know a bit about the two frameworks. Or rather, I know a

Re: How should I handle dynamically generated images?

2008-12-26 Thread Dave Dash
I currently serve up images via the DB vs. filesystem. I did this in order to keep the data in one place, but I now regret it. I'd recommend overriding the delete() of your image class to take care of deleting the related image from your storage. Depending on your needs and the amount of data,

I'm curious at what you're trying to ultimately do. On one of the projects I work on, we put a class on a encapsulating div that defines future behavior: and then we can do a special style for .no_content .content {display: none} or whatever we end up deciding to do differently. On Dec
