django-adv-imagefield

Advanced ImageField for Django that provides widget to search Flickr and Google Images

django-adv-imagefield allows you to add an ImageField and provides a widget that can be used to search for images in admin itself.

To install django-adv-image-field

1. pip install django-adv-imagefield
2. In settings.py add: media-field in INSTALLED_APPS
3. In settings.py set: FLICKR_API_KEY, GOOGLE_API_KEY and GOOGLE_SENGINE_ID
4. In your root url.py add one more url pattern: url(r'^api/', include('media_field.api')),
5. In your models.py import and add to your model MediaField

   from django.db import models
   from media_field.db import MediaField
   
   class TestModel(models.Model):
       name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
       image = MediaField(blank=True)
   

This will allow using ordinary ModelForm. 6. If you want using MediaField in django-admin, then in your app's admin.py import MediaFieldWidget and specify it for your ModelAdmin ``` from django.contrib import admin from .models import TestModel from media_field.db import MediaField from media_field.forms import MediaFieldWidget

class TestModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    formfield_overrides = {
        MediaField: {'widget': MediaFieldWidget},
    }
admin.site.register(TestModel, TestModelAdmin)
```

7. If you want to change default widget width (100%) and image width(30%), you may specify the width in your form field like this

   image = MediaField(blank=True, attrs={'width': '500px', 'image_width': '50%'})
