Tim Heap bc6b5a8a6c Normalise all code blocks in the docs
All `.. code::` instances have been changed to use `.. code-block::`,
and have been properly formatted. The syntax names have been normalised,
so all django templates use the `html+django` syntax, shell commands use
`sh`, and plain text uses `text`.

Custom image model
==================
The ``Image`` model can be customised, allowing additional fields to be added
to images.
To do this, you need to add two models to your project:
- The image model itself that inherits from
``wagtail.wagtailimages.models.AbstractImage``. This is where you would add
your additional fields
- The renditions model that inherits from
``wagtail.wagtailimages.models.AbstractRendition``. This is used to store
renditions for the new model.
Here's an example:
.. code-block:: python
# models.py
from django.db import models
from django.db.models.signals import pre_delete
from django.dispatch import receiver
from wagtail.wagtailimages.models import Image, AbstractImage, AbstractRendition
class CustomImage(AbstractImage):
# Add any extra fields to image here
# eg. To add a caption field:
# caption = models.CharField(max_length=255)
admin_form_fields = Image.admin_form_fields + (
# Then add the field names here to make them appear in the form:
# 'caption',
)
class CustomRendition(AbstractRendition):
image = models.ForeignKey(CustomImage, related_name='renditions')
class Meta:
unique_together = (
('image', 'filter', 'focal_point_key'),
)
# Delete the source image file when an image is deleted
@receiver(pre_delete, sender=CustomImage)
def image_delete(sender, instance, **kwargs):
instance.file.delete(False)
# Delete the rendition image file when a rendition is deleted
@receiver(pre_delete, sender=CustomRendition)
def rendition_delete(sender, instance, **kwargs):
instance.file.delete(False)
.. note::
If you are using image feature detection, follow these instructions to
enable it on your custom image model: :ref:`feature_detection_custom_image_model`
Then set the ``WAGTAILIMAGES_IMAGE_MODEL`` setting to point to it:
.. code-block:: python
WAGTAILIMAGES_IMAGE_MODEL = 'images.CustomImage'
.. topic:: Migrating from the builtin image model
When changing an existing site to use a custom image model. No images will
be copied to the new model automatically. Copying old images to the new
model would need to be done manually with a
`data migration <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/migrations/#data-migrations>`_.
Any templates that reference the builtin image model will still continue to
work as before but would need to be updated in order to see any new images.
Animated GIF support
====================
Pillow (Wagtail's default image library) doesn't support resizing animated
GIFs. If you need animated GIFs in your site, install
`Wand <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Wand>`_.
When Wand is installed, Wagtail will automatically start using it for resizing
GIF files, and will continue to resize other images with Pillow.
.. _image_feature_detection:
Feature Detection
=================
Wagtail has the ability to automatically detect faces and features inside your images and crop the images to those features.
Feature detection uses OpenCV to detect faces/features in an image when the image is uploaded. The detected features stored internally as a focal point in the ``focal_point_{x, y, width, height}`` fields on the ``Image`` model. These fields are used by the ``fill`` image filter when an image is rendered in a template to crop the image.
Setup
-----
Feature detection requires OpenCV which can be a bit tricky to install as it's not currently pip-installable.
Installing OpenCV on Debian/Ubuntu
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Debian and ubuntu provide an apt-get package called ``python-opencv``:
.. code-block:: sh
sudo apt-get install python-opencv python-numpy
This will install PyOpenCV into your site packages. If you are using a virtual environment, you need to make sure site packages are enabled or Wagtail will not be able to import PyOpenCV.
Enabling site packages in the virtual environment
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you are not using a virtual envionment, you can skip this step.
Enabling site packages is different depending on whether you are using pyvenv (Python 3.3+ only) or virtualenv to manage your virtual environment.
pyvenv
``````
Go into your pyvenv directory and open the ``pyvenv.cfg`` file then set ``include-system-site-packages`` to ``true``.
virtualenv
``````````
Go into your virtualenv directory and delete a file called ``lib/python-x.x/no-global-site-packages.txt``.
Testing the OpenCV installation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can test that OpenCV can be seen by Wagtail by opening up a python shell (with your virtual environment active) and typing:
.. code-block:: python
import cv
If you don't see an ``ImportError``, it worked. (If you see the error ``libdc1394 error: Failed to initialize libdc1394``, this is harmless and can be ignored.)
Switching on feature detection in Wagtail
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once OpenCV is installed, you need to set the ``WAGTAILIMAGES_FEATURE_DETECTION_ENABLED`` setting to ``True``:
.. code-block:: python
# settings.py
WAGTAILIMAGES_FEATURE_DETECTION_ENABLED = True
Manually running feature detection
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Feature detection runs when new images are uploaded in to Wagtail. If you already have images in your Wagtail site and would like to run feature detection on them, you will have to run it manually.
You can manually run feature detection on all images by running the following code in the python shell:
.. code-block:: python
from wagtail.wagtailimages.models import Image
for image in Image.objects.all():
if not image.has_focal_point():
image.set_focal_point(image.get_suggested_focal_point())
image.save()
.. _feature_detection_custom_image_model:
Feature detection and custom image models
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When using a :ref:`custom_image_model`, you need to add a signal handler to
the model to trigger feature detection whenever a new image is uploaded:
.. code-block:: python
# Do feature detection when a user saves an image without a focal point
@receiver(pre_save, sender=CustomImage)
def image_feature_detection(sender, instance, **kwargs):
# Make sure the image doesn't already have a focal point
if not instance.has_focal_point():
# Set the focal point
instance.set_focal_point(instance.get_suggested_focal_point())
.. note::
This example will always run feature detection regardless of whether the
``WAGTAILIMAGES_FEATURE_DETECTION_ENABLED`` setting is set.
Add a check for this setting if you still want it to have effect.
