setting up django-storages was simple... using rackspace's python API to send an image to my container... met with some troubles (broken pipe error on code that worked).
however... on the save of my gallery application i'm creating thumbnails. this is easy to do with my custom field... normally. django-storages doesnt work so well with this. So i need to come up with a work around. My first thought was to grab the image from the CDN server, open it with PIL, crop and create the thumbnail, save it to my server, push it to my files server then delete the files on the working server. this seems like a lot of processes to be running and there has got to be a simpler way. and my idea on injecting this code would be into a signal, pre save, assuming that the file is written to the files server prior to the item being saved. currently i have a custom field extending the ImageField w/ an attr_class that extends the ImageFieldFile. I'd prefer to run everything in the attr_class if possible and would prefer to stay away from grabbing the image from the public url and do modify the image and create the thumbnail along the way. i suppose i could go the simple route and and use css to alter the main image. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
