Django Media Library

A reusable Django app to let users organize their own media.

Note! Django 1.7 support is WIP.

If you intend to manage files like images, pdfs or simliar as an admin, you might be interested in django-document-library.

It enables users to upload images and add Vimeo or YouTube video links into their own gallery.

Installation

To get the latest stable release from PyPi

pip install django-media-library

To get the latest commit from GitHub

pip install -e git+git://github.com/bitmazk/django-media-library.git#egg=media_library

TODO: Describe further installation steps (edit / remove the examples below):

Add media_library and its dependencies to your INSTALLED_APPS

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...,
    'media_library',
    'multilingual_tags',
    'generic_positions',
    'user_media',
    'hvad',
)

Add the media_library, user_media and generic_positions URLs to your urls.py

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ...
    url(r'^pos/', include('generic_positions.urls')),
    url(r'^umedia/', include('user_media.urls')),
    url(r'^media-library/', include('media_library.urls')),
)

If you stick to the default templates or want to derive your own from them, you might also want to add the default styles and our simple image and video preview script.

{% load static %}

<link href="{% static "media_libraray/media_library.css" %}" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="{% static "media_library/preview.js" %}"></script>

Add the django-user-media scripts to your templates to have the file upload.

{% load static %}

{# you will also need jquery and jquery-ui. #}
<script src="{% static "js/jquery-1.11.1.js" %}"></script>
<script src="{% static "js/jquery-ui-1.11.1.min.js" %}"></script>

{% include "user_media/partials/image_upload_scripts.html" %}

You can read up more information and advanced usage at the django-user-media page.

Don't forget to migrate your database

./manage.py migrate

Not necessary, but highly recommended

To have the drag and drop re-ordering enabled, you will need to add the reorder.js script to your templates.

E.g. add the following to your base template:

{% load static %}

<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ STATIC_URL }}generic_positions/js/reorder.js"></script>

Also check django-generic-positions for further information on positioning.

For the tagging plugin, please add the typeahead.tagging.js and typeahead.bundle.min.js as well as styles to your templates as well, which are part of django-multilingual-tags.

{% load static %}

{# Plain Bootstrap-like styles. #}
<link href="{% static "multilingual_tags/css/typeahead.tagging.css" %}" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">

{# And then there's typeahead and the tagging plugin. #}
<script src="{% static "multilingual_tags/js/typeahead.bundle.min.js" %}"></script>
<script src="{% static "multilingual_tags/js/typeahead.tagging.js" %}"></script>

For more info on the tagging app, check out django-multilingual-tags.
