Question

The documentation of sorl thumbnail still refers to the get_thumbnail function, but this doesn’t exist in v.3.2.5. (cannot import name get_thumbnail)

For the life of me, I can’t find any reference to what this function was changed to, or how to generate a thumbnail in the python code of this version of sorl. Any advice?

Answer 1

In my particular case, I’ve used an ThumbnailField with extra_thumbnails defined:

class SomeModel(models.Model):
    # other kwargs omitted for clarity
    image = ThumbnailField(extra_thumbnails={
                           'inline_preview': {'size': (600,400)},
                           'small_thumb': {'size': (75,75), 'options':['crop', 'sharpen']})

The image field will have a dict of the images defined by the extra_thumbnails option as an attribute named, surprisingly, extra_thumbails:

somemodel_instance.image.extra_thumbnails['inline_preview']
