This is the exact reason I just used sorl-thumbnail: http://code.google.com/p/sorl-thumbnail/ It's a dead easy template tag and it works great. Photologue is really, really nice. It's just a little more than I need right now. /alex On Jul 11, 8:39 pm, blis102 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You could also use django-photologue.

Re: Automatic Image Resizing upon Upload
In case other's have the same need, one of the features of the upcoming 2.0 release of Photologue is that all resizing, cacheing, (etc.) behaviors have be put in an abstract base class. When you subclass Photologue.models.ImageModel with your own models they inherit the basic functionailty of a Photologue Photo. Including admin thumbnail previews and effects processing. This way if you just the image manipulation code and few other goodies, you can use the base model and never touch the templates or the other gallery stuff. There is a 2.0 preview release available now for testing. - Justin On Jul 12, 9:00 am, TheBoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've actually realised I've been an idiot: seen as models are > subclasses of models.Model, I should be able to just call > model.Model.save() from within the custom save method!

Re: Automatic Image Resizing upon Upload
I've actually realised I've been an idiot: seen as models are subclasses of models.Model, I should be able to just call model.Model.save() from within the custom save method! And my other idea wouldn't work if the image were changed.

Re: Automatic Image Resizing upon Upload
You could also use django-photologue. Its quite powerful and very useful in templates: http://code.google.com/p/django-photologue/ Cheers, Dana On Jul 11, 12:47 am, "Ben Ford" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Or you could have a look at google appengine for your image storage.

Re: Automatic Image Resizing upon Upload
Or you could have a look at google appengine for your image storage. They have an picassa like API that would allow you to do lots of stuff to your images on the fly and you wouldn't pay for any of the processor cost (or storage if you're under 500M). Just a thought.

Re: Automatic Image Resizing upon Upload
It's intensive, but not prohibitively so. I've used a few setups where large image files were uploaded and, depending on the options, two or even three different versions of the image are created in the save() method. The server has yet to explode. Try poking through some of these snippets and see if anything appeals to you: http://www.djangosnippets.org/tags/thumbnail/ Eric On Jul 11, 2008, at 3:53 AM, TheBoff wrote: > > To jump straight in to the question: > > I'm wrinting a website using the automatic admin interface, and am > wondering if there's any way to create a thumbnail automatically upon > the upload of the image. > > I know I could set it as a property, and use PIL to do it on the fly > (well I assume I could, I haven't checked it in any detail!), but > wouldn't that be hugely processor intensive? > > > --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Automatic Image Resizing upon Upload
To jump straight in to the question: I'm wrinting a website using the automatic admin interface, and am wondering if there's any way to create a thumbnail automatically upon the upload of the image. I know I could set it as a property, and use PIL to do it on the fly (well I assume I could, I haven't checked it in any detail!), but wouldn't that be hugely processor intensive? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
