In a Django CMS project with Filer enabled, the Admin dashboard for Filer allows you to create custom Thumbnail Options, similar to defining an alias using easy-thumbnails.
How do I access these options in templates?
{{ obj.image.thumbnails }}
allows me to choose from one of the DEFAULT_THUMBNAILS
defined in abstract.py
in the Filer package, such as admin_tiny_icon
, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to access these custom options defined in the front-end.
Thumbnail images are also not automatically created in {{ MEDIA_ROOT }}
for these custom Thumbnail Options when adding new images like they are for the DEFAULT_THUMBNAILS
.
You could create your own templatetag to get the desired thumbnail option, something like this:
// utils_tags.py
from django.template import Library
from filer.models import ThumbnailOption
register = Library()
@register.simple_tag
def get_thumbnail_option(name, filerimage):
option = ThumbnailOption.objects.filter(name=name).first()
if option:
thumbnailer = filerimage.easy_thumbnails_thumbnailer
return thumbnailer.get_thumbnail(option.as_dict)
return filerimage
Then you could use it like this in a template:
{% load utils_tags %}
{% get_thumbnail_option "Custom thumbnail name" obj.image as thumb %}
