Show image in Spot about django-spotnet HOT 6 CLOSED

The default template "spotnet/viewpost.html" should contain the image if it's available. Is it missing for all posts or posts that have an image using other spotnet clients?

from django-spotnet.

There are two ways of adding an image when adding a spot.

1- Input a link to the image. This is currently working in Django-spotnet.
Spot with image (http link):
message-ID: [email protected]
Date: 16 Nov 2012 16:01:37 GMT
Image: <Image>http://www.xx/xx/xx.jpg</Image>
Used by older spotclients and newer clients who didn't changed this specific option.

2- uploading the image to usenet. This is currently not working in Django-spotnet.
Spot without image (segment):
message-ID: [email protected]
Date: 29 Nov 2012 23:47:18 GMT
Image: <Image Width='600' Height='425'><Segment>[email protected]</Segment></Image>
Used by newer spotclients.

I wasn't aware of that second method, it should definitely be included!

from django-spotnet.

This second method is now supported with the latest commit (bitbucket 89f8802ebb55cc0e1cab0931ffb5fc5701e08e56). It does require renaming the spotnet_post.image column to image_url and adding a image_segments column (see manage.py sqlall spotnet), and re-updating your database to get the correct image for already stored posts.

Btw, you can now overwrite existing posts when updating using the --overwrite / -w flag.

Thanks for adding and the information about changing the database.
Thought that manage.py syncdb would update the settings of the database.
I have used manage.py sqlall spotnet to list the database layout and manual changed the mysql database.

Spots with image retrieved from usenet are working.
The -w switch works.
