Bundled extensions

Media Tree contains a few useful extensions in its contrib module. Since some of these extensions modify the FileNode model, you should install them before you run syncdb for the first time.

focal_point

The focal_point extension allows you to drag a marker on image thumbnails while editing, thus specifying the most relevant portion of the image. You can then use these coordinates in templates for image cropping.

• To install it, add the extension module to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

  INSTALLED_APPS = (
      # ... your apps here ...
      'media_tree.contrib.media_extensions.images.focal_point'
  )
  

• If you are not using django.contrib.staticfiles, copy the contents of the static folder to the static root of your project. If you are using the staticfiles app, just run the usual command to collect static files:

  $ ./manage.py collectstatic
  

Note

This extension adds the fields focal_x and focal_y to the FileNode model. You are going to have to add these fields to the database table yourself by modifying the media_tree_filenode table with a database client, unless you installed it before running syncdb).

zipfiles

The zipfiles extension adds support for ZIP archives to the FileNodeAdmin. If it is installed, you can select files and folders in the admin and download them as a ZIP archive.

To install it, add the extension module to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    # ... your apps here ...
    'media_tree.contrib.media_extensions.zipfiles'
)
