About Re-generating Versions for a Particular Image with django-imagekit
The django-imagekit library creates image versions with filenames based on hashed values. That's quite tricky to track. Here is an example function to find existing versions and re-generate them in the file system:
def regenerate_versions(source):
from django.core.files.storage import default_storage
from imagekit.registry import generator_registry
from imagekit.cachefiles import ImageCacheFile
for id in generator_registry.get_ids():
generator = generator_registry.get(id, source=source)
image_cache_file = ImageCacheFile(generator)
if default_storage.exists(image_cache_file.name):
default_storage.delete(image_cache_file.name)
image_cache_file.generate()
Then you can call it for an image field:
post = Post.objects.get(slug="hello-world")
regenerate_versions(post.cover_image)
