The store/localsite directory is just a place holder for you to put any custom models or non-satchmo parts to your site.
For instance, if you had a store that included a blog, you could put that in localsite. You are free to delete or rename localsite to whatever you like (provided you make the same change in your installed_apps). In other words, it's purely for illustrative purposes to show you how to integrate Satchmo with other non-Satchmo apps. The local_settings.py file is more useful for the dev vs. deployment solution as well as providing a way to isolate your settings that you might not want to check into version control. Settings.py imports local_settings.py so think of settings and local_settings as being tied together in order for you to manage your Satchmo development workflow. I hope this helps answer the question. -Chris On Wed, Oct 28, 2009 at 9:37 AM, anentropic <[email protected]> wrote: > > I just installed Satchmo and I want to know the purpose of the store/ > localsite dir installed by clonesatchmo.py > Also there's a 'store/local_settings.py' > > What is meant by 'local' in this case?
