Displaying EXIF data

nmec

Hi there,

I'm having trouble trying to get exif data to show up.
I don't want to have it display in a separate box like it does on the packaged themes but under the photos like the description, tags etc.

I've been trying to use `printImageMetadata` but there isn't much documentation on how to use it.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

pass `false` as the second parameter of the call on `printImageMetadata`.

Hello,

I have also a problem with the showing up of my exif data. They simply don't display, although I can see in my database (via MySql) that they exist.

Did I forgot to do something when I installed the version 1.1.3.

Thanks a lot in advance for you help.

What's your camera make and model? And are you using watermarking? Currently watermarking will erase all of your cameras exif info.

Soleil

Thanks for your reply aitf311.

I am using different cameras (Sony, Canon, Panasonic) and I am not watermarking my pictures with zenphoto (but with FastStone prior to uploading them with zenphoto).

Can you supply us with an image that shows this problem? You can attach it to a ticket on the trac.

Soleil

I just sent you an image with ticket #353.

I have got your image. I loaded it to my test album. EXIF data is showing up for me. http://testalbum.sbillard.org/unpublished/guepes.jpg/view.

What theme are you using?

Soleil

I am using DEFAULT as a theme, but I adapted the CSS and image.php for my needs. However I did not touch the EXIF part (apart of changing between 'true' and 'false' for testing.

`<?php <br />
if (getImageEXIFData()) {echo "

Image info

";

printImageMetadata('', true);

}

?>`

Can you try on an unmodified theme? This works for me with the default theme.

Soleil

Yes, indeed, it does work with an unmodified theme !!! I'll probably have to start again with the unmodified 'defaut' theme and look also in the CSS. I'll keep you informed.

Soleil

Here I am again.

I replaced the "image.php" page by a new, fresh one and now IT WORKS !!! I must have introduced a kind of bug into the old page.

Thanks for the idea of the unmodified theme.

sbillard

Glad you got it working. I wish more people would think of trying one of the unmodified themes when things don't work. It sure helps to isolate where the problem might lie.

Is it possible to display the Exif-data only in the thickbox and not on the imagepage?

sbillard

Isn't that how it is done now? At least in the themes I looked at.

sturmgas

Yep you're right! Lets see and hope if i only have to adjust the image.php to my style.

sturmgas

I am using now the default theme on a testpage with no adjustments to the .php files but when i change the css to one of my own old ones the exif-data shows on the page and when clicking on "image info" it disappears from the page and into the box! Pretty strange and that is why i think it has something to do with the css, dont know what yet.

sturmgas

Just reading my own answer. Big fun. It did definitly had something to do with the css i used and the css of the defaut-theme. Figured that out with the help of Firebug (plug-in for Firefox, great little tool). Missing in my css was ` #imagemetadata {display:none; ... etc.}` and now it works just like it says on the tin.
