Subject: sorl thumbnail error
To: django-users@googlegroups.com
Hi,
I'm getting error messages with sorl thumbnail. I'm simply trying to show
thumbnail images on my template. I select a number of images in my views,
and iterate over my selection. Note that all my images are a certain size,
and I'm just trying to reduce that size in my template using sorl thumbnail.
All works fine, until I use the following template thumbnail tag:
<img src="{% thumbnail '{{obj}}' 80x80 %}" />
where {{ob}} is the source directory of my image. I get the following error:
ThumbnailException: Source file:
'/home/malcolm/data1/orders1/media/{{obj}}' does not exist.
Removing quotes like this
<img src="{% thumbnail {{obj}} 80x80 %}" />
gives me this :
Could not parse the remainder: '{{obj}}' from '{{obj}}'
Here is my model:
class Images(models.Model):
prim = models.AutoField(primary_key=True, db_column='PRIM') # Field name
made lowercase.
photos = models.ImageField(db_column='PHOTOS', upload_to='img',
blank=False) # Field name made lowercase.
items = models.CharField(max_length=255, db_column='ITEMS', blank=False)
# Field name made lowercase.
date = models.DateField(null=True, db_column='DATE', blank=False) #
Field name made lowercase.
updated = models.DateField(auto_now='true', db_column='UPDATED') # Field
name made lowercase.
created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add='true', db_column='CREATED')
# Field name made lowercase.
descrip = models.CharField(max_length=255, db_column='DESCRIP',
blank=True) # Field name made lowercase.
specs = models.TextField(db_column='SPECS', blank=True) # Field name
made lowercase.
ads = models.TextField(db_column='ADS', blank=True) # Field name made
lowercase.
class Meta:
db_table = u'IMAGES'
def get_absolute_url(self):
return "http://baglux.sporthill.com/media%s"; % self.photos
def __unicode__(self):
return 'img/fall09/'+self.items + '.jpg'
Here is the relevant part of my template:
<p>Total # Images all pages equals {{selected.count}}</p>
{% autopaginate selected 3 %}
{% for obj in selected %}
<table id="imag">
<tr>
<td align="center"><img id="images" src="{{ obj.get_absolute_url }}"
/></td></tr>
<tr>
<td align="center"><img src="{% thumbnail '{{obj}}' 80x80 %}" /></td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">Item# {{obj.items}}</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center"><a href="/{{return}}/{{obj.items}} :
{{obj.descrip}}/">{{obj.descrip}}</a> </td></tr>
<tr><td align="center" style="font-size:20px; width=100px">{{obj.ads}}</td>
</tr>
</table>
{%endfor%}
{% paginate %}
Here is my view:
@login_required
def images_selected(request, id=None):
return_form=id
itemz=[]
if return_form=='clos':
items=InventoryCloseouts.objects.all()
for i in items:
itemz.append(i.items)
return_form='order_closeouts/imgs'
if return_form=='form':
items=Inventory.objects.all()
for i in items:
itemz.append(i.items)
return_form='orders/imgs'
selected=Images.objects.filter(items__in=itemz).order_by('pk')
return render_to_response('images_selected.html', {'selected':selected,
'return':return_form, }, context_instance = RequestContext(request))
In another template, all works as it should using this template tag:
<img src="{% thumbnail 'img/1656.jpg' 80x80 %}" />
In the above case, I hard code the source directory.
Any thoughts on how to correct this would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
Malcolm
