add image for category

[stephenmcd]

Good idea Dmitry I think this requirement is very common.

Do you want to add it? If so, can we do it the same way the blog featured image is implemented?

• field is named feature_image
• add a setting SHOP_CATEGORY_USE_FEATURED_IMAGE
• we can default the setting to True, but we'll need to add support for it in the templates. We actually had code like this a long time ago in the category.html template - the sub-categories would be listed above the products in the category. I think the bootstrap thumbnail/grid classes would work really well here.
• admin class for category would also need to check SHOP_CATEGORY_USE_FEATURED_IMAGE and hide the featured_image field from the admin if set to False

How does that sound?

It sounds good! Yes, I want to add it.

Also we may do the featured_image more generic: for example, place it in the Displayable model, because even page needs image for showing descending pages in teaser mode or something else. What you think?

I don't think it belongs on the Page model (and therefore on Displayable) for the same reasons discussed here:
