Necessary settings

UPLOAD_AVATAR_UPLOAD_ROOT

where to store the uploaded images. Absolute path.

UPLOAD_AVATAR_AVATAR_ROOT

where to store the cropped avatars. Absolute path.

UPLOAD_AVATAR_URL_PREFIX_ORIGINAL

UPLOAD_AVATAR_URL_PREFIX_CROPPED

In you app

models.py

The simplest demo as the example/app/models.py

from upload_avatar.signals import avatar_crop_done
from upload_avatar.models import UploadAvatarMixIn

class User(models.Model, UploadAvatarMixIn):
    user = models.ForeignKey('auth.User', related_name='user_info')
    avatar_name = models.CharField(max_length=128)
    
    def get_uid(self):
        return self.user.id
    
    def get_avatar_name(self, size):
        return UploadAvatarMixIn.build_avatar_name(self, self.avatar_name, size)


def save_avatar_in_db(sender, uid, avatar_name, **kwargs):
    if User.objects.filter(user_id=uid).exists():
        User.objects.filter(user_id=uid).update(avatar_name=avatar_name)
    else:
        User.objects.create(user_id=uid, avatar_name=avatar_name)
        
avatar_crop_done.connect(save_avatar_in_db)

your user models MUST define a field that store the avatar name, and inherit from UploadAvatarMixIn and define get_uid, get_avatar_name methods.

Because upload_avatar app does not know how to get uid and avatat_name

Also, you should define a function which like save_avatar_in_db in the example. and make avatar_crop_done signal connected with this function.

views.py

In the upload avatar web page, you should pass the uploadavatar_context to template.

demo:

from upload_avatar import get_uploadavatar_context

@login_required
def upload(request):
    return render_to_response(
        'upload.html',
        get_uploadavatar_context(),
        context_instance = RequestContext(request)
    )

templates

In you upload.html template, Just simply do this:

{% include "upload_avatar/upload_avatar.html" %}

jQuery.js

upload_avatar app needs jQuery, So ensure your app/site contains jquery

Details see the example django project
