Django 2 by Example

Creating an image bookmarking website

We will allow users to bookmark and share images they find on other websites and on our site. For this, we will need to do the following tasks:

1. Define a model to store images and their information

2. Create a form and a view to handle image uploads
3. Build a system for users to be able to post images they find on external websites

First, create a new application inside your bookmarks project directory with the following command:

django-admin startapp images

Add the new app to the INSTALLED_APPS setting in the settings.py file, as follows:

INSTALLED_APPS = [    # ...    'images.apps.ImagesConfig',]

We have activated the images application in the project.
