Steps to add icons to Apps:
1. Go to admin
2. Select Apps app.
3. Select the app(protoannot, 23and me..)
4. go to icon section and choose the file
5. Save

this file will be saved in /media/<filename>

Work:

Static folder : This folder is used only to serve static content to web pages.
Media folder : This folder is used to serve images/files which are uploaded by users.

Added Media folder to our AppStore Project.

Following files are changed to configure media folder

1. appstore/settings.py (setting up path to media folder)
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "media")
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

2. appstore/urls.py ( setting up URL to media folder)
+ static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

3. apps/models.py (use static instead of media)
Before = icon = models.ImageField(upload_to=app_icon_path, blank=True, null=True) #used to load static content
After = icon = models.ImageField(blank=True, null=True) #used to store media content

Should these binary files be included in the commit?

• appstore/whoosh_index/MAIN_WRITELOCK
• appstore/whoosh_index/MAIN_c3kz1morxphj9wpg.seg
• appstore/whoosh_index/_MAIN_1.toc

These look like auto-generated files that probably should not be version-controlled.
Please advise.

[~aloraine] The indexes are updated because we added logos to the apps.
These can be used for development purposes but not for version control
I will add the branch without these files.
