It's really slick. You can upload through the admin interface a zip file of photos and it will create a gallery for you from that. It also automatically resizes photos according to a set of sizes you specify, and creates them only on demand. As for your question about how to make your own admin apps, check out the online Django book, which has a chapter on how to do that (suprisingly this isn't really covered in the online Django docs).

Re: recommended method for administrative scripts?
With sorl.thumbnail you don't have to do that at all. It allows you to specify resize size on the fly, then caches the resulting image and always recreates the image if the size changes automatically.

recommended method for administrative scripts?
Hello I have just made my first django site for my uncles wedding photos. It is very simple, just photos and tags, with a ManyToMany relationship. I have only made views for viewing the photos and am using the django admin system for uploading and tagging. I am wondering what is the best way to add scripts to do administrative tasks, that dont need to be triggerable by a URL. For example, a decided that the settings i had used to make the thumbnails where to low, and wanted to rerun the thumbnailing on each photo. I did this by making a function in views.py that did the looping through and resizing. Then adding a URL, and visiting it. This seemed like a rather kludgy method. I have a few other tasks that i might want to do. extract the date from the photos EXIF data, and put it in a field in the database (i already have the field). also i think i could save some time if it could scp a bunch of photos to a folder on my server, and add them into the database with a single command. So is there a recommended method of doing this soft of thing? Thanks Sam --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
