djangocms-unitegallery 0.1.0

unitegallery grid Plugin for django CMS

A gallery plugin for django CMS that uses the excellent Unite Gallery jQuery plugin.

Installation

This plugin requires django CMS 3.0 or higher and sorl-thumbnail 12.0 or higher to work.

• Run pip install djangocms-unitegallery

• Add 'sorl.thumbnail' and 'djangocms_unitegallery' to your INSTALLED_APPS

• Run python manage.py migrate

Note

It’s up to you to include jQuery js file in your templates, just make sure you include it before the sekizai {% render_block js %}.

Configuration

By default djangocms-unitegallery generates thumbnails for better perfomance. The default behavior is to generate thumbnails by resizing and cropping images in a square of 250x250 px.

You can disable completely the thumbnail generation and leave Unite Gallery handles images and preview, or you can change the default size of generated thumbnails and/or wether the image ratio should be preserved or not:

DJANGOCMS_UNITEGALLERY_CONFIG = {
    'THUMBNAIL_ENABLED': true,
    'THUMBNAIL_MAX_WIDTH': 250,
    'THUMBNAIL_MAX_HEIGHT': 250,
    'THUMBNAIL_PRESERVE_RATIO': False,
}

If you set THUMBNAIL_PRESERVE_RATIO to False, thumbnails will be cropped to match the configured width and height. If you set THUMBNAIL_PRESERVE_RATIO to True, thumbnails will just be resized to match the configured max width (if image is landscape) or height (if image is portrait).

Note

Due to Unite Gallery behavior, and depending on configured options, you are not guaranteed to have the thumbnail size you configured in settings.
