738446 - Create an admin tool to feature apps on Marketplace

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Admin/Editor Tools, defect, P1)

Description

[Christopher Van Wiemeersch [:cvan]]

We want two allow apps to added to either featured collection:

* Home (apps featured on homepage)
* Category Featured (apps featured on category browse pages)

There should be autocompletion to easily add an app to either list and an ability to remove featured apps from either list.

Talk to cvan about details.  Sounds like he has ideas

[Christopher Van Wiemeersch [:cvan]]

I'm thinking of something like this (in psuedo-code):

For the default collections (that is, if there's not a specific collection for a particular locale):

    fc = FeaturedCollection(application=None)

    home = Collection(name='Home', type=amo.COLLECTION_FEATURED, listed=False)
    cat = Collection(name='Category', type=amo.COLLECTION_FEATURED, listed=False)

    CollectionAddon(collection=home, addon=<app>)
    CollectionAddon(collection=cat, addon=<app>)

If we wanted apps for a French-specific homepage and category browse pages:

    fc = FeaturedCollection(application=None, locale='fr')

    home = Collection(name='Home (France)', type=amo.COLLECTION_FEATURED, listed=False)
    cat = Collection(name='Category (France)', type=amo.COLLECTION_FEATURED, listed=False)

    CollectionAddon(collection=home, addon=<app>)
    CollectionAddon(collection=cat, addon=<app>)

cvan encountered an `IntegrityError` traceback when inserting some apps, but I was unable to reproduce.
