Scaling Thumbnails instead of Cropping or Squashing.

Hey, so I've got this code to quickly create thumbnail files, below. When I give it a value, it squishes the image to those dimensions, I'm hoping to keep the correct proportions of a book instead of cropping to a square or squashing. Mainly as books can be portrait, landscape or square. So keep

Simple approach for this is to use try catch block to create proper field like this: from django.db import models try: from photos.models import Photo photo_field = models.ManyToManyField(Photo) except ImportError: photo_field = None class Standalone(models.Model):

Hi all, I have a very strange behaviour. I have an upload form like this: var upform = document.createElement('form'); upform.setAttribute('action','/engine/users/avatar/'); upform.setAttribute('enctype','multipart/form-data'); upform.setAttribute('method','post'); created dynamically with JS.

Hi: Yet again, I've run into a behavior change which seems to be linked to svn revision 10190. I've figured out a workaround for my code, but I'm wondering if someone could provide some feedback if the change is just a definition of previously undefined behavior, or a bug. I've pasted some

multi-tenant website

Is there a Django app that helps with handling multitenancy, that is, having a single website and a single database serving multiple organizations in a software-as-a-service fashion while avoiding one tenant to interact with another's data? I'm talking about the "Shared database, shared schema"

You need to remove the references on one side or the other. You need to make a choice. will events manage photos, or will photos manage events, and so on. Then if events manage photos, you need to remove all references to events from the photos app. It sounds like it will take some reworking of

I changed it to post_img.url but i assume thats a different way of doing the same thing. 1.The html source gives the image location as "http://www.mysite.net/ content/imgs/newMessage.jpg" 2. I am using a RequestContext. Its an apache server and these are the related directives: SetHandler
