Quick Start

Installation

You can install with pip from PyPi via:

pip install django-galleryfield

Or for the latest dev version, via:

pip install git+https://github.com/dzhuang/django-galleryfield.git

Python version

Gallery-widget is compatible with Python 3 (3.6 or later were tested).

Dependencies

Python dependencies:

  • Django 3.1 or later

  • sorl-thumbnail (auto installed)

  • pillow (auto installed)

  • django-npm (optional, for managing statics, you need to have npm installed in your OS)

Static dependencies:

The static dependencies can be installed by command npm install.

Configurations

  • In settings.py, add 3 lines in you INSTALLED_APP:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...,
    'sorl.thumbnail',
    'galleryfield',
    ...,
)

DJANGO_GALLERY_CONFIG = ...

  • We strongly propose using django-npm to manage the static dependencies, by adding the following lines in settings.py:

from django.conf.global_settings import STATICFILES_FINDERS

STATICFILES_FINDERS = tuple(STATICFILES_FINDERS) + ("npm.finders.NpmFinder",)

  • In urls.py, add the following lines:

from django.urls import include, path

urlpatterns += [path(r"images-handler/", include("galleryfield.urls"))]
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

  • Sync the database:

    python manage.py migrate galleryfield

Run the demo

The best way to have a glance of how django-galleryfield works is to run the demo:

git clone https://github.com/dzhuang/django-galleryfield.git
cd django-galleryfield
cd demo
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd ..
npm install  # or yarn, install the CSS and JS modules
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser # Create a superuser account so that you can upload images
python manage.py runserver
