Allow a picture per product

[vinyll]

In most cases a consumer want to see what the product looks like.
A picture's worth a thousand words.

Hey, that's a nice idea. My experience of this is that most of the time we don't have pictures to put, and I in fact removed this from previous code because it seemed useless.

But that's not to say it shouldn't be here :-) If you feel it's useful to you, feel free to add this to the codebase and issue a pull request!

Cheers 👍

I'll lookup the code that was allowing pictures, that's a strong restriction for us here not to have that option.
Thanks for the precious info so I don't have to code what was coded already :)

I hope you'll be able to find it in the commit mess… Two hints:

• The url attribute in the Product model
• At that time, all the editing was done in an external spreadsheet and not in the web interface (that's what Ybon wanted).

Also, I remember this was just done with urls, and not with an actual import of files, which might not be what you want here. So you might need to code it yourself if that's not what you want :/

The best would be to have an external service that would permit a widget in the web page that uploads to that service.
That would return the URL…

I'm thinking of https://github.com/uploadcare for now as I don't feel like redeveloping an image uploader and hosting.
It's not perfect to me as I can't find the server scripts for hosting, however it would do the job.
Maybe I'd do that in a branch that would not end up into a PR. #suggestionsarewelcome

That seems nice enough :-) I'll be happy to try things out and comment :-)

Hey, I'm closing this, don't hesitate to reopen if you intend to work on it :-)
