External storage for spp profile pictures #73

Closed jeffreyhanson closed 6 years ago

We should store the species pictures outside of the main coding repository to avoid GitHub's file size restrictions.

To achieve this, I have created an account on Flickr because it provides free photo hosting with 1 TB storage (see https://www.flickr.com/photos/159495711@N04/). To specify the profile pictures for species, upload the photo to Flikr, find the url for the photo (see https://help.flickr.com/en_us/get-the-url-of-a-flickr-photo-S1Hnnmjym), and copy the url into the "profile_url" column in the data/species/atlas_list.xls spreadsheet. If a species has a blank cell in this column, then the atlas with display the default missing image for this species.

Please note I am still testing this, I'll close this issue when it's complete.

Done.

(Note that this functionality won't appear in the atlas until #69 is resolved)
