CMSplugin Image Gallery
====================

A Django application adding django-filer-based galleries to Django-CMS.


Installation
------------

You need to install the following prerequisites in order to use this app::

pip install Django
pip install django-cms
pip install django-filer
pip install Pillow

If you want to install the latest stable release from PyPi::

$ pip install cmsplugin-image-gallery

If you feel adventurous and want to install the latest commit from GitHub::

$ pip install -e git://github.com/bitmazk/cmsplugin-image-gallery.git#egg=image_gallery

Add ``image_gallery`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS``::

INSTALLED_APPS = (
...,
'image_gallery',
)

If you are using a Django version below 1.7, add the following setting::

SOUTH_MIGRATION_MODULES = {
'image_gallery': 'image_gallery.south_migrations',
}

Usage
-----

First create a gallery object with a filer folder and set ``is_published`` to
``True`` once you want to publish the gallery.

Using the apphook
+++++++++++++++++

Simply create a django-cms page and select it in the ``Application`` field of
the ``Advanced Settings``.

Using the cmsplugin
+++++++++++++++++++

Create a CMS page with a placeholder and simply insert the plugin
``Filer Gallery``.

Using the template tags
+++++++++++++++++++++++

You can also use our template tag to display a list of pictures::

{% render_pictures %}

...for the last 3 uploaded pictures. You can use the selection parameters
``recent`` (default) and ``random`` and set an amount of pictures to display::

{% render_pictures 'random' 10 %}


Settings
--------

GALLERY_PAGINATION_AMOUNT
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Default: 10

Amount of galleries to display in the list view.


GALLERY_DISPLAY_TYPE_CHOICES
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Default::

(
('default', _('Default')),
('teaser', _('Teaser')),
)

When you use the ``Filer Gallery`` plugin, you can select the gallery that
should be rendered and a display type. This is useful if one and the same
gallery should be rendrerd in different ways at different places on your
site. The selected value will be added to the plugin template's context with
the variable name ``{{ display_type }}``.
