There are several solutions for Python and Django out there to automatically resize your pictures, you can find some on Django Packages and compare them there.
In your project template directory create a folder called cms/plugins
and
in it create a file called picture.html
. Here is an example
picture.html
template using easy-thumbnails:
{% load thumbnail %}
{% if link %}<a href="{{ link }}">{% endif %}
{% if placeholder == "content" %}
<img src="{% thumbnail picture.image 300x600 %}"{% if picture.alt %} alt="{{ picture.alt }}"{% endif %} />
{% else %}
{% if placeholder == "teaser" %}
<img src="{% thumbnail picture.image 150x150 %}"{% if picture.alt %} alt="{{ picture.alt }}"{% endif %} />
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{% if link %}</a>{% endif %}
In this template the picture is scaled differently based on which placeholder it was placed in.
You should take care that the directory defined by the configuration setting
:setting:`CMS_PAGE_MEDIA_PATH` (by default cms_page_media/
relative to
:setting:`django:MEDIA_ROOT`) is writable by the user under which django will be
running.
Note
In order to improve clarity, some Picture fields have been omitted in the example template code.
Note
For more advanced use cases where you would like to upload your media
to a central location, consider using django-filer with
django CMS plugin and its cmsplugin_filer_image
component
instead.

Warning
This plugin is a potential security hazard, since it allows admins to place custom JavaScript on pages. This may allow administrators with the right to add snippets to elevate their privileges to superusers. This plugin should only be used during the initial development phase for rapid prototyping and should be disabled on production sites.
