In some specific cases you may need to generate and store thumbnails of
images in Odoo. This is the case for example when you want to provide
image in specific sizes for a website or a mobile application.
This module provides a generic way to generate thumbnails of images and
store them in a specific filesystem storage. Indeed, you could need to
store the thumbnails in a different storage than the original image (eg:
store the thumbnails in a CDN) to make sure the thumbnails are served
quickly when requested by an external application and to avoid to expose
the original image storage.
This module uses the
fs_image
module to store the thumbnails in a filesystem storage.
The
shopinvader_product_image
addon uses this module to generate and store the thumbnails of the
images of the products and categories to be accessible by the website.
This addon provides a convenient way to get and create if not exists
image thumbnails. All the logic is implemented by the abstract model
fs.image.thumbnail.mixin. The main method is get_or_create_thumbnails
which accepts a FSImageValue instance, a list of thumbnail sizes and a
base name.
When the method is called, it will check if the thumbnail exists for the
given sizes and base name. If not, it will create it.
The fs.thumbnail model provided by this addon is a concrete
implementation of the abstract model fs.image.thumbnail.mixin. The
motivation to implement all the logic in an abstract model is to allow
developers to create their own thumbnail models. This could be useful if
you want to store the thumbnails in a different storage since you can
specify the storage to use by model on the fs.storage form view.
Creating / retrieving thumbnails is as simple as:
from odoo.addons.fs_image.fields import FSImageValue
# create an attachment with a image file
attachment = self.env['ir.attachment'].create({
'name': 'test',
'datas': base64.b64encode(open('test.png', 'rb').read()),
'datas_fname': 'test.png',
})
# create a FSImageValue instance for the attachment
image_value = FSImageValue(attachment)
# get or create the thumbnails
thumbnails = self.env['fs.thumbnail'].get_or_create_thumbnails(
image_value, [(800,600), (400, 200)], 'my base name')
If you’ve a model with a FSImage field, the call to
get_or_create_thumbnails is even simpler:
from odoo import models
from odoo.addons.fs_image.fields import FSImage
class MyModel(models.Model):
_name = 'my.model'
image = FSImage('Image')
my_record = cls.env['my.model'].create({
'image': open('test.png', 'rb'),
})
# get or create the thumbnails
thumbnails = record.image.get_or_create_thumbnails(my_record.image,
[(800,600), (400, 200)], 'my base name')
