Please copy/symlink the 'missing image' image

See original GitHub issue

when I try to deploy an Oscar-based site to Heroku, I get this error:

Please copy/symlink the 'missing image' image at /app/slstore/slstore/public/media/image_not_found.jpg into your MEDIA_ROOT at /app/slstore/slstore/public/media. This exception was raised because Oscar was unable to symlink it for you.

I would think that running the collectstatic command would create the public and media dirs and put this file in the media dir. Is that not the case?

I just had this same problem with S3 (using Oscar 0.7) and was able to resolve it by placing the following in my settings.py (having properly set my MEDIA_URL for S3 and manually uploaded the missing image placeholder there):

OSCAR_MISSING_IMAGE_URL = MEDIA_URL + ‘image_not_found.jpg’
