Cropping shown double on EditView and not at all on CreateView about django-image-cropping

[anrie]

Hey Philippe,

without seeing any code or concrete examples it's really hard to tell what is going on.
Did you check the modelform example and spot any differences? (Apart from the fact that you are using class based views ;-))

However if it's not a simple syntax problem it would be great if you could create a test case that demonstrates the issue so we have starting point to fix the problem.

Hey!

Found out at least the first part. The doubles showing is just that I was importing

{{ form.media.css }}

{{ form.media.js }}

in my base template... Seems like that duplicates the croping image.

Remains the Createview, although I was considering that it has probably more to do with the fact that no image is uploaded yet. How would I be able to use imagecropping through a Createview best? Would that be through ajax somehow?

Closing this for now, would be glad to hear if there is a way to use this during creation of an image!

I also wonder if there any way to use image cropping in CreateView. Is there any progress?

I too tried to implement it in CreateView, needless to say without success. Waiting for some hints as well.

As discussed in another Issue (#61) it would be nice if we could leverage the FileReader-API for our cropping concerns. That would allow us to crop images without saving them first, which seems to be the problem with the CreateView.

As we use Image Cropping mainly in the backend this is not a top priority for us, but it would of course be great if someone would come up with Pull Request for this feature.
