django collages

What’s that

This reusable Django app can help you to create collages on your website for gallery or another entities. For example, I’m use it for applications.

Installation:

1. Package:

$ git clone https://github.com/gotlium/django-collage.git

$ cd django-collage && sudo python setup.py install

OR

$  sudo pip install django-collage

2. Add the collage application to INSTALLED_APPS in your settings file (usually settings.py)

3. Sync database (./manage.py syncdb)

Usage:

models.py

class Entity(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255, unique=True)

    def get_images(self):
        return Images.objects.values_list('image', flat=True).filter(
            entity=self)


class Images(models.Model):
    entity = models.ForeignKey(Entity)
    image = models.ImageField()

view.html

{% load collage %}
{% load cache %}

{% cache 31536000 images view.id %}
    {% get_collage for view.get_images as images %}
    <div>
      {% for image in images %}
        <a href="{{ image.src }}" style="{{ image.css }}">
          <img src="{{ image.url }}">
        </a>
      {% endfor %}
    </div>
{% endcache %}
