Not Updating Information - Location, City, State blah blah

PeterM

Hello!
So I have uploaded some photos and moved the location of the information such as location, city, state. The first time round, I didnt put any information in, but now I have added it all in, it isn't displaying. I have tried refreshing the meta date but that put all the dates and things back to what they were before.

Is there some way I can edit the information without going into the database?

Regards

Did you put the information in metadata in the image or using the admin edit interface?

You can always edit the information in the admin edit pages.

I used the pages in the Admin page to add the city as that is the only thing I want to display really. Had a look at: http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=2695&replies=14#post-16090 and tried adding `<?php echo getImageData("city"); ?>` but it still doesn't display :S

EDIT: Oops! Looks like I had the text in the wrong place. I had put it under "Location" not "City", which is why it hadn't displayed anything. What is location for then?

All those fields (location, city, state, country) are "standard" IPTC fields. I presume you would use location for something like street address.

You cannot do that without hacking the Zenphoto core (which is discouraged.) Why not instead store the information you want in the custom data fields. You can write PHP to extract the information and format it however you wish.
