See REQUIREMENTS
in the setup.py
file for additional dependencies:
- Django Filer 1.5.0 or higher
Make sure django-filer is installed and configured appropriately.
For a manual install:
- run
pip install djangocms-picture
- add
djangocms_picture
to yourINSTALLED_APPS
- run
python manage.py migrate djangocms_picture
Note that the provided templates are very minimal by design. You are encouraged to adapt and override them to your project's requirements.
This addon provides a default
template for all instances. You can provide
additional template choices by adding a DJANGOCMS_PICTURE_TEMPLATES
setting:
DJANGOCMS_PICTURE_TEMPLATES = [ ('background', _('Background image')), ]
You'll need to create the background folder inside templates/djangocms_picture/
otherwise you will get a template does not exist error. You can do this by
copying the default
folder inside that directory and renaming it to
background
.
Another setting is DJANGOCMS_PICTURE_NESTING
, which allows you to render an image
as the background image of a container that also contains other content (text, icons
and so on).
DJANGOCMS_PICTURE_NESTING = True
will enable this (the default is False
). When set to True
, you'll be able to place additional
plugins inside the picture plugin.
You can override alignment styles with DJANGOCMS_PICTURE_ALIGN
, for example:
DJANGOCMS_PICTURE_ALIGN = [ ('top', _('Top Aligned')), ]
This will generate a class prefixed with align-
. The example above
would produce a class="align-top"
. Adding a class
key to the image
attributes automatically merges the alignment with the attribute class.
You can enable responsive images technique by setting``DJANGOCMS_PICTURE_RESPONSIVE_IMAGES`` to True
.
In this case uploaded images will create thumbnails of different sizes according
to DJANGOCMS_PICTURE_RESPONSIVE_IMAGES_VIEWPORT_BREAKPOINTS
(which defaults to [576, 768, 992]
) and browser
will be responsible for choosing the best image to display (based upon the screen viewport).
You can use DJANGOCMS_PICTURE_RATIO
to set the width/height ratio of images
if these values are not set explicitly on the image:
DJANGOCMS_PICTURE_RATIO = 1.618
We use the golden ratio, approximately 1.618, as a default value for this.
When working out sizes for the image, the system will use the following values, of preference:
- the width or height set in the Thumbnail options
- Autoscale
- the Width and Height
We recommend setting width or height values around a placeholder so when the plugin uses Autoscale it can discover them:
{% with 720 as width and 480 as height %} {% placeholder content %} {% endwith %}
Further configuration can be achieved through the django Filer settings.
You can run tests by executing:
virtualenv env source env/bin/activate pip install -r test_requirements/base.txt python setup.py test
