Image thumbnails on image fields in the admin

For the sake of simplicity -1 from me. Django shouldn't require any external package forcibly.

For the sake of simplicity -1 from me. Django shouldn't require any external package forcibly.

Django's ImageField already requires PIL, so this wouldn't change anything. Similarly, XMLField requires Jing, memcached caching requires the memcached bindings and using a database (except SQLite when using Python 2.5) requires a database adapter module.

See also #4115 and #961.

Assigning this to myself and moving to newforms-admin. As I'm doing newforms-admin interface work. :)

I'd like to see thumbnails for imagefields in both the change_list and the form itself if there is already an image set. However this only makes sense to do if #4115 happens. And if it does it should happen in templates/templatetags for the admin not in the model as in the linked-to snippet.

This functionality is not critical before the merge to trunk. Tagging with nfa-someday.

preview image on model admin page

Hi!

I've recently attached patch, that shows image on admin page:

image = models.ImageField(admin_preview=True)

I'm going to create generic way of creating thumbnails, so could you give me a tip. I think that should be field, e.g.

image_thumb = ImageThumbField(thumb_for='image', thumbnalizer=create_100x100_thumb)

so adding thumbs to list_view will be as easy as:

def get_thumb(self):
    return '<img src="%s" />' % self.get_thumb_url
get_thumbs.allow_tags=True

or even:

@image_tag_for('thumb')
def get_thumb():
    pass
