Django-Galleries

A set of utilities for creating gallery models and admin classes.

Example:

models.py

Define models for all of the types you want to put in your gallery, then create a Gallery subclass that specifies which models to allow for its members.

Attention!

In older versions, we recommended that you extend django-gallery's included ImageModel or EmbedModel classes if your gallery contained those types. Those models are now deprecated. Just define your own!

from galleries.models import Gallery
from imagekit.models import ImageSpec
from imagekit.processors import Crop


class YouTubeVideo(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    embed_code = models.TextField()
    thumbnail = models.ProcessedImageField([Crop(60, 60)],
                                            upload_to='gallery_posters')

class Photo(models.Model)
    title = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    description = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True)
    original_image = models.ImageField(upload_to='galleries')
    thumbnail = models.ImageSpec([Crop(60, 60)], image_field='original_image')


class ApartmentGallery(Gallery):

    class GalleryMeta:
        member_models = [Photo, YouTubeVideo]

The gallery class will automatically create a membership (through) model, which will be accessible at ApartmentGallery.Membership.

admin.py

from .models import ApartmentGallery
from galleries.admin import register_gallery_admin

register_gallery_admin(ApartmentGallery)

settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'imagekit',
    ...
)

This should register you new app with our galleries models and include the thumbnail preview.
