===================
Custom image models
===================
The ``Image`` model can be customised, allowing additional fields to be added
to images.
To do this, you need to add two models to your project:
- The image model itself that inherits from
``wagtail.images.models.AbstractImage``. This is where you would add
your additional fields
- The renditions model that inherits from
``wagtail.images.models.AbstractRendition``. This is used to store
renditions for the new model.
Here's an example:
.. code-block:: python
# models.py
from django.db import models
from wagtail.images.models import Image, AbstractImage, AbstractRendition
class CustomImage(AbstractImage):
# Add any extra fields to image here
# eg. To add a caption field:
# caption = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True)
admin_form_fields = Image.admin_form_fields + (
# Then add the field names here to make them appear in the form:
# 'caption',
)
class CustomRendition(AbstractRendition):
image = models.ForeignKey(CustomImage, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='renditions')
class Meta:
unique_together = (
('image', 'filter_spec', 'focal_point_key'),
)
.. versionchanged:: 2.9
Fields on a custom image model can now be defined as required (``blank=False``).
Then set the ``WAGTAILIMAGES_IMAGE_MODEL`` setting to point to it:
.. code-block:: python
WAGTAILIMAGES_IMAGE_MODEL = 'images.CustomImage'
.. topic:: Migrating from the builtin image model
When changing an existing site to use a custom image model, no images will
be copied to the new model automatically. Copying old images to the new
model would need to be done manually with a
:ref:`data migration <django:data-migrations>`.
Any templates that reference the builtin image model will still continue to
work as before but would need to be updated in order to see any new images.
