Easy Thumbnails

If you remember from the last chapter, in order to create a thumbnail with the default Image plugin, you must manually resize the source image to create a thumbnail and then link to the source image for a full resolution view.

Because this is a very common task in a CMS, a number of applications have been developed for creating thumbnails; Easy Thumbnails is such an application. Originally created for Django, Easy Thumbnails also works very well with django CMS. It is designed to create thumbnails dynamically—automatically creating thumbnails for images you place in your page based on a simple template.

Note

Easy Thumbnails is best suited to smaller sites that do not require sophisticated media handling. If your site is more complex, you are better off using CMSplugin-filer, which has Easy Thumbnails built in. The latest version of CMSplugin filer can be downloaded from https://github.com/stefanfoulis/cmsplugin-filer .
