File upload manager and picker for Django admin

================= django-adminfiles ================= A file upload manager and picker for the Django admin, with support for browsing and embedding from Flickr, Youtube, Vimeo, etc. Upload files and view uploaded files (with thumbnails) in a file-picker underneath any content textarea. Click on a file to add a reference to it into the content area. Inline file references can be customized per-mime-type to automate the correct presentation of each file: <img> tags (with additional markup as needed) for images, links for downloadable files, even embedded players for audio or video files. See `the screencast`_. .. _the screencast: http://vimeo.com/8940852 Installation ============ Install from PyPI with ``easy_install`` or ``pip``:: pip install django-adminfiles or get the `in-development version`_:: pip install django-adminfiles==tip .. _in-development version: http://bitbucket.org/carljm/django-adminfiles/get/tip.gz#egg=django_adminfiles-tip Dependencies ------------ ``django-adminfiles`` requires `Django`_ 1.1 or later, `sorl-thumbnail`_ 3.2.5 (not compatible with the rewritten 10.x/11.x series) and the `Python Imaging Library`_. `djangoembed`_ or `django-oembed`_ is required for OEmbed functionality. `flickrapi`_ is required for browsing Flickr photos, `gdata`_ for Youtube videos. .. _Django: http://www.djangoproject.com/ .. _sorl-thumbnail: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/sorl-thumbnail/3.2.5 .. _Python Imaging Library: http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ .. _django-oembed: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-oembed .. _djangoembed: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/djangoembed .. _gdata: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/gdata .. _flickrapi: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/flickrapi Usage ===== To use django-adminfiles in your Django project: 1. Add ``'adminfiles'`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` setting. Also add ``'sorl.thumbnail'`` if you have not installed it already. 2. Run ``python manage.py syncdb`` to to create the adminfiles database tables. 3. Make the contents of the ``adminfiles/media/adminfiles`` directory available at ``MEDIA_URL/adminfiles`` (or ``ADMINFILES_MEDIA_URL/adminfiles/``, see `ADMINFILES_MEDIA_URL`_). This can be done by through your webserver configuration, via an app such as `django-staticfiles`_, or by copying the files or making a symlink. 4. Add ``url(r'^adminfiles/', include('adminfiles.urls'))`` in your root URLconf. 5. Inherit content model admin options from `FilePickerAdmin`_. In addition, you may want to set the ``THUMBNAIL_EXTENSION`` setting for `sorl-thumbnail`_ to ``"png"`` rather than the default ``"jpg"``, so that images with alpha transparency aren't broken when thumbnailed in the adminfiles file-picker. .. _django-staticfiles: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-staticfiles FilePickerAdmin =============== For each model you'd like to use the ``django-adminfiles`` picker with, inherit that model's admin options class from ``adminfiles.admin.FilePickerAdmin`` instead of the usual ``django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin``, and set the ``adminfiles_fields`` attribute to a list/tuple of the names of the content fields it is used with. For instance, if you have a ``Post`` model with a ``content`` TextField, and you'd like to insert references into that TextField from a ``django-adminfiles`` picker:: from django.contrib import admin from adminfiles.admin import FilePickerAdmin from myapp.models import Post class PostAdmin(FilePickerAdmin): adminfiles_fields = ('content',) admin.site.register(Post, PostAdmin) The picker displays thumbnails of all uploaded images, and appropriate icons for non-image files. It also allows you to filter and view only images or only non-image files. In the lower left it contains links to upload a new file or refresh the list of available files. If you click on a file thumbnail/icon, a menu pops up with options to edit or delete the uploaded file, or insert it into the associated content field. To modify the default insertion options, set the `ADMINFILES_INSERT_LINKS`_ setting. File references =============== When you use the file upload picker to insert an uploaded file reference in a text content field, it inserts something like ``<<<my-file-slug>>>``, built from the `ADMINFILES_REF_START`_ and `ADMINFILES_REF_END`_ settings and the slug of the ``FileUpload`` instance. The reference can also contain arbitrary key=value option after the file slug, separated by colons, e.g.: ``<<<my-file-slug:class=left>>>``. These generic references allow you to use ``django-adminfiles`` with raw HTML content or any type of text markup. They also allow you to change uploaded files and have old references to the file pick up the change (as long as the slug does not change). The URL path to the file, or other metadata like the height or width of an image, are not hardcoded in your content. Rendering references -------------------- These references need to be rendered at some point into whatever markup you ultimately want. The markup produced by the rendering is controlled by the Django templates under ``adminfiles/render/``. The template used is selected according to the mime type of the file upload referenced. For instance, for rendering a file with mime type ``image/jpeg``, the template used would be the first template of the following that exists: ``adminfiles/render/image/jpeg.html``, ``adminfiles/render/image/default.html``, ``adminfiles/render/default.html``. If a file should be rendered as if it had a different mime type (e.g. an image you want to link to rather than display), pass the ``as`` option with the mime type you want it rendered as (where either the sub-type or the entire mime-type can be replaced with ``default``). For instance, with the default available templates if you wanted to link to an image file, you could use ``<<<my-image:as=default>>>``. Two rendering templates are included with ``django-adminfiles``: ``adminfiles/render/image/default.html`` (used for any type of image) and ``adminfiles/render/default.html`` (used for any other type of file). These default templates produce an HTML ``img`` tag for images and a simple ``a`` link to other file types. They also respect three key-value options: ``class``, which will be used as the the ``class`` attribute of the ``img`` or ``a`` tag; ``alt``, which will be the image alt text (images only; if not provided ``upload.title`` is used for alt text); and ``title``, which will override ``upload.title`` as the link text of the ``a`` tag (non-images only). You can easily override these templates with your own, and provide additional templates for other file types. The template is rendered with the following context: ``upload`` The ``FileUpload`` model instance whose slug field matches the reference. Useful attributes of this instance include ``upload.upload`` (a `Django File object`_), ``upload.title``, ``upload.description``, ``upload.mime_type`` (first and second parts separately accessible as ``upload.content_type`` and ``upload.sub_type``) and ``upload.is_image`` (True if ``upload.content_type`` is "image"). Images also have ``upload.height`` and ``upload.width`` available. ``options`` A dictionary of the key=value options in the reference. If a reference is encountered with an invalid slug (no ``FileUpload`` found in the database with that slug), the value of the `ADMINFILES_STRING_IF_NOT_FOUND`_ setting is rendered instead (defaults to the empty string). .. _Django File object: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/files/file/ render_uploads template filter ------------------------------ ``django-adminfiles`` provides two methods for making the actual rendering happen. The simple method is a template filter: ``render_uploads``. To use it, just load the ``adminfiles_tags`` tag library, and apply the ``render_uploads`` filter to your content field:: {% load adminfiles_tags %} {{ post.content|render_uploads }} The ``render_uploads`` filter just replaces any file upload references in the content with the rendered template (described above). The filter also accepts an optional argument: an alternate base path to the templates to use for rendering each uploaded file reference. This path will replace ``adminfiles/render`` as the base path in the mime-type-based search for specific templates. This allows different renderings to be used in different circumstances:: {{ post.content|render_uploads:"adminfiles/alt_render" }} For a file of mime type ``text/plain`` this would use one of the following templates: ``adminfiles/alt_render/text/plain.html``, ``adminfiles/alt_render/text/default.html``, or ``adminfiles/alt_render/default.html``. render_upload template filter ----------------------------- If you have a ``FileUpload`` model instance in your template and wish to render just that instance using the normal rendering logic, you can use the ``render_upload`` filter. This filter accepts options in the same "key=val:key2=val2" format used for passing options to inline-embedded files; the special option ``template_path`` specifies an alternate base path for finding rendering templates:: {{ my_upload|render_upload:"template_path=adminfiles/alt_render:class=special" }} pre-rendering at save time -------------------------- In some cases, markup in content fields is pre-rendered when the model is saved, and stored in the database or cache. In this case, it may be preferable to also render the uploaded file references in that step, rather than re-rendering them every time the content is displayed in the template. To use this approach, first you need to integrate the function ``adminfiles.utils.render_uploads`` into your existing content pre-rendering process, which should be automatically triggered by saving the content model. The ``adminfiles.utils.render_uploads`` function takes a content string as its argument and returns the same string with all uploaded file references replaced, same as the template tag. It also accepts a ``template_path`` argument, which is the same as the argument accepted by the `render_uploads template filter`_. Integrating this function in the markup-rendering step is outside the scope of ``django-adminfiles``. For instance, if using `django-markitup`_ with Markdown to process content markup, the ``MARKITUP_FILTER`` setting might look like this:: MARKITUP_FILTER = ("utils.markup_filter", {}) Which points to a function in ``utils.py`` like this:: from markdown import markdown from adminfiles.utils import render_uploads def markup_filter(markup): return markdown(render_uploads(markup)) Once this is done, set the `ADMINFILES_USE_SIGNALS`_ setting to True. Now ``django-adminfiles`` will automatically track all references to uploaded files in your content models. Anytime an uploaded file is changed, all content models which reference it will automatically be re-saved (and thus updated with the new uploaded file). .. _django-markitup: http://bitbucket.org/carljm/django-markitup Embedding media from other sites ================================ ``django-adminfiles`` allows embedding media from any site that supports the OEmbed protocol. OEmbed support is provided via `djangoembed`_ or `django-oembed`_, one of which must be installed for embedding to work. If a supported OEmbed application is installed, the `render_uploads template filter`_ will also automatically replace any OEmbed-capable URLs with the appropriate embed markup (so URLs from any site supported by the installed OEmbed application can simply be pasted in to the content manually). In addition, ``django-adminfiles`` provides views in its filepicker to browse Flickr photos, Youtube videos, and Vimeo videos and insert their URLs into the context textarea with a click. To enable these browsing views, set the `ADMINFILES_YOUTUBE_USER`_, `ADMINFILES_VIMEO_USER`_, or `ADMINFILES_FLICKR_USER`_ and `ADMINFILES_FLICKR_API_KEY`_ settings (and make sure the `dependencies`_ are satisfied). To add support for browsing content from another site, just create a class view that inherits from ``adminfiles.views.OEmbedView`` and add its dotted path to the `ADMINFILES_BROWSER_VIEWS`_ setting. See the existing views in ``adminfiles/views.py`` for details. To list the available browsing views and their status (enabled or disabled, and why), ``django-adminfiles`` provides an ``adminfiles_browser_views`` management command, which you can run with ``./manage.py adminfiles_browser_views``. Settings ======== ADMINFILES_REF_START -------------------- Marker indicating the beginning of an uploaded-file reference in text content. Defaults to '<<<'. If you set this to something insufficiently distinctive (a string that's likely to show up otherwise in your content), all bets are off. Special regex characters are escaped, thus you can safely set it to something like '[[[', but you can't do advanced regex magic with it. ADMINFILES_REF_END ------------------ Marker indicating the end of an uploaded-file reference in text content. Defaults to '>>>'. If you set this to something insufficiently distinctive (a string that's likely to show up otherwise in your content), all bets are off. Special regex characters are escaped, thus you can safely set it to something like ']]]', but you can't do advanced regex magic with it. ADMINFILES_USE_SIGNALS ---------------------- A boolean setting: should ``django-adminfiles`` track which content models reference which uploaded files, and re-save those content models whenever a referenced uploaded file changes? Set this to True if you already pre-render markup in content fields at save time and want to render upload references at that same save-time pre-rendering step. Defaults to False. If this setting doesn't make sense to you, you can safely just leave it False and use the `render_uploads template filter`_. ADMINFILES_STRING_IF_NOT_FOUND ------------------------------ The string used to replace invalid uploaded file references (given slug not found). Defaults to ``u''``. ADMINFILES_STDICON_SET ---------------------- Django-adminfiles ships with a few icons for common file types, used for displaying non-image files in the file-picker. To enable a broader range of mime-type icons, set this setting to the name of an icon set included at `stdicon.com`_, and icons from that set will be linked. .. _stdicon.com: http://www.stdicon.com ADMINFILES_INSERT_LINKS ----------------------- By default, the admin file picker popup menu for images allows inserting a reference with no options, a reference with "class=left", or a reference with "class=right". For non-images, the default popup menu only allows inserting a reference without options. To change the insertion options for various file types, set ``ADMINFILES_INSERT_LINKS`` to a dictionary mapping mime-types (or partial mime-types) to a list of insertion menu options. For instance, the default setting looks like this:: ADMINFILES_INSERT_LINKS = { '': [('Insert Link', {})], 'image': [('Insert', {}), ('Insert (left)', {'class': 'left'}), ('Insert (right)', {'class': 'right'})] } Each key in the dictionary can be the first segment of a mime type (e.g. "image"), or a full mime type (e.g. "audio/mpeg"), or an empty string (the default used if no mime type matches). For any given file the most specific matching entry is used. The dictionary should always contain a default entry (empty string key), or some files may have no insertion options. Each value in the dictionary is a list of menu items. Each menu item is a two-tuple, where the first entry is the user-visible name for the insertion option, and the second entry is a dictionary of options to be added to the inserted file reference. ADMINFILES_MEDIA_URL -------------------- Some projects separate user-uploaded media at ``MEDIA_URL`` from static assets. If you keep static assets at a URL other than ``MEDIA_URL``, just set ``ADMINFILES_MEDIA_URL`` to that URL, and make sure the contents of the ``adminfiles/media/adminfiles`` directory are available at ``ADMINFILES_MEDIA_URL/adminfiles/``. ADMINFILES_UPLOAD_TO -------------------- The ``upload_to`` argument that will be passed to the ``FileField`` on ``django-admin-upload``'s ``FileUpload`` model; determines where ``django-adminfiles`` keeps its uploaded files, relative to ``MEDIA_URL``. Can include strftime formatting codes as described `in the Django documentation`_. By default, set to ``'adminfiles'``. .. _in the Django documentation: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.FileField.upload_to ADMINFILES_THUMB_ORDER ---------------------- The ordering that will be applied to thumbnails displayed in the picker. Expects a tuple of field names, prefixed with ``-`` to indicate reverse ordering, same as `"ordering" model Meta attribute`_. The default value is ``('-upload_date')``; thumbnails ordered by date uploaded, most recent first. .. _"ordering" model Meta attribute: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/options/#ordering ADMINFILES_BROWSER_VIEWS ------------------------ List of dotted paths to file-browsing views to make available in the filepicker. The default setting includes all the views bundled with ``django-adminfiles``:: ['adminfiles.views.AllView', 'adminfiles.views.ImagesView', 'adminfiles.views.AudioView', 'adminfiles.views.FilesView', 'adminfiles.views.FlickrView', 'adminfiles.views.YouTubeView', 'adminfiles.views.VimeoView'] The last three may be disabled despite their inclusion in this setting if their `dependencies`_ are not satisfied or their required settings are not set. ADMINFILES_YOUTUBE_USER ----------------------- Required for use of the Youtube video browser. ADMINFILES_VIMEO_USER --------------------- Required for use of the Vimeo video browser. ADMINFILES_VIMEO_PAGES ---------------------- The Vimeo API returns 20 videos per page; this setting determines the maximum number of pages to fetch (defaults to 1, Vimeo-imposed maximum of 3). ADMINFILES_FLICKR_USER ---------------------- Required for use of the Flickr photo browser. ADMINFILES_FLICKR_API_KEY ------------------------- Required for use of the Flickr photo browser. JQUERY_URL ---------- ``django-adminfiles`` requires the jQuery Javascript library. For Django versions 1.2 or later, ``django-adminfiles`` by default uses the version of jQuery included with the Django admin. For older versions, by default ``django-adminfiles`` links to the most recent minor version of jQuery 1.4 available at ajax.googleapis.com (via the URL ``http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js``). If you wish to use a different version of jQuery, or host it yourself, set the JQUERY_URL setting. For example:: JQUERY_URL = 'jquery.min.js' This will use the jQuery available at MEDIA_URL/jquery.min.js. Note that a relative ``JQUERY_URL`` is always relative to ``MEDIA_URL``, it does not use ``ADMINFILES_MEDIA_URL``. ADMINFILES_MEDIAS_PER_CONTENT ----------------------------- Default : False Set to True, if you want to activate filtering on content, if the media library. Only FileUpload referenced in this content, or orphan medias are returned. CHANGES ======= tip (unreleased) ---------------- 0.5.1 (2011.03.22) ------------------ - add support for djangoembed as well as django-oembed. - add support for multiple pages of Vimeo results via ADMINFILES_VIMEO_PAGES setting (defaults to 1). 0.5.0 (2010.03.09) ------------------ - add ``as`` template override keyword option - add ``render_upload`` filter - add YouTube, Flickr, Vimeo browsers - add OEmbed support - add translation hooks and Polish translation: thanks Ludwik Trammer! - add support for linking full set of mime-type icons from stdicon.com. - make the JS reference-insertion options configurable. - BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE: default rendering template is now ``adminfiles/render/default.html`` instead of ``adminfiles/render.html``.
