adding images to locations

[jerrys987]

This is a continuation of the repair cafe style system
The first thing we would want to tackle is adding images to locations. We are thinking this is far easier than generating maps.
I started trying to chase down how images were handled by parts. My initial attempt didn't understand where/how the images are incorporated into parts model or how they were managed by the UI.

There are two parts to it as I see it.
first is how to add the image to a location (or just about anything else that might want an image) and how to display it when the user opens the location.
The second is how to use a phone camera to add the image to the location.

My questions are:
how does this work for parts right now?
how hard would it be to extend it to locations?
does this seem generic enough to add to most models/UIs?

thanks in advance,
jerry

Currently you cannot associate an image with a location - but this may be a good extension of this open PR - #10484

Thanks for the pointer. It looks very promising. We can certainly add the photos after this is merged.
I was able to trace through the image code in the company model and controller. The frontend work is outside my skill set, but perhaps with some help I can copy this once it has been reworked to add images to locations.
