I am using Django-photologue this app to display a photo gallery, which is quite nice. But what I want to do further is extract out the GPSInfo from each image and display it on the website (or more advanced, display it in google map). I am quite a newbie to Django, so don't know how to proceed.
The way I am doing the gallery is from Django Photologue Upload Photo Example.
If you can show me some details, like how to override the models, views, urls, that would be great. And if you can suggest another app to incorporate the google map API,I really appreciate. Thanks
Django-photologue's documentation has some examples showing how you can override the admin, views, urls and models. If you try these examples, they can give you some ideas for creating your own customisations.
I am not sure how to best use EXIF.py, as I have never used it myself!

I am trying to use django as the platform for a website development. I was using wordpress so far. I liked its CMS and admin system. Can I make a function rich admin backend with django that has; pages, menus, categories, tags, posts, images etc. as the wordpress. In order to make it look good, is it possible to use boostrap or similar dashboard templates? How much of difficulty are you expecting for this project?
Looking forward for your opinions
Thanks
Django admin is a great utility that comes with django, which helps to create basic CRUD application very quickly.
Now customizing it can be somewhat difficult because it is tightly coupled.
Thought the docs are awesome and you can see if the customization will get your work done. There are many themes available such as django-suit, django-jet etc. which makes it even more awesome.
You might also want to have a look at django-cms and wagtail.
Hope it helps!
I have spent a lot of time trying different ways to upload multiple images in Django admin but I have failed miserably. I have tried django-multiupload-admin which I didn't manage to make it work and inlines is not what I am looking for. I just want to select several images all at once, upload them under one category and them display them into a mansory gallery. I am willing to pay someone to help me find a simple way. Please help!
You can extend the Admin interface pretty easily using Javascript.
Here is the link ... it will help you design django admin with drag and drop method to upload images

What would be the best way to make it possible to upload many pictures at once to some cms page? or alternatively, how can I change the admin template/view to make it work?
is there a nice way to achieve it?
(I'm working withe the default picture plugin)
picture plugin does not support multiple uploads. why don't you use gallery plugin? where you can add many images at once.
I have models with datetimefields and timefields. When the user interacts with these fields in a form they often just need to enter the current time. I need a now link almost exactly like what shows up in the django admin, so the user can just click it and the current time gets put in the field.
I tried looking through the django source but it seems to utilize some frontend javascript which I'm not very familiar with. Is there a simple way to make a widget that can be easily used in a timefield and datetimefield?
So this is not on the admin panel? As in on the site? Then this is not really a question to be posed to Django, I suggest tagging javascript. If you are unfamiliar with javascript, then tag jquery, they have things for this.
In case you're lazy, here's a start:

Sorry, but this is more of a UI issue than a Django issue. Hope I helped, though.
I have a hard time understanding how photologue works exactly.
Is anybody aware of a Example Project Tutorial where I can display a gallery via Django-Photologue. Where Imagelinks are stored in a database?
Or how can I achieve that in Django?
Or what else is out there to create a decent Photo Display?
Thanks for the time!
The best way to get started with photologue is to start a new django project, and follow the installation instructions. Then, load up the django admin and start adding photos and creating galleries. You should be able to get a good understanding of Photologue that way.
Photologue is based around the concept of having gallerys of images with different photo sizes and effects. It's great if you want to show a gallery of images. If you are looking to intergrate images into your own apps, you might find ImageKit much more useful. I think it's based on Photologue, but instead of giving you automated photo galleries it provides hooks that you can use to do manage photos programmatically.
Here is an example project by the author of photologue:
