flop25,

Thanks for the speedy reply, for some reason all emails from piwigo are being dumped into spam by Google.

You might well be right, the only reason I inquired was typically upgrading a single area is a lot easier than multiple sites. In fairness, I don't know what hoops I have to jump through for upgrading. I'm swapping over from Zen Photo. Great gallery software until you have to upgrade, then all bets are off :)

At the moment I'm trying to work out how to EXIF data displayed. I have the normal ones but cannot find a way to get things like Description / Headline / Title  / Keywords ...

Ah well.

Take Good Care - Nigel.

Kalel,

Thank you. I had read that article.

When I tried "Description" or "Title" nothing appeared and when I tried "Headline" all I had was a row of ????...

It's a bit strange really, in Zen Photo the "photograph comment" is automatically filled in by the Exif "Description".  I was kind of hoping that Piwigo did the same, because adding comments to 8000+ photographs isn't going to happen :) 

BUT all that said, I am happy with Piwigo and it's working relatively well.

Nigel.

flop25,

Try as I might I still cannot find the secret to getting IPTC data into Piwigo. Unfortunately a lot of the documentation points to "Advanced Metadata" plugin that no longer exists as supported in 2.7.

I used the tools/metadata.php and I can see the data I want populated into the gallery :-

IPTC Fields in sample.jpg

1#090 = %G
2#025 = Elisha,model,Castlewood Canyon State Park,Colorado,Denver
2#065 = Microsoft Pro Photo Tools
2#085 = Photographer
2#090 = Castle Rock
2#092 = Castlewood Canyon State Park
2#095 = Colorado
2#101 = USA
2#105 = Morning in the Park with Elisha
2#120 = Elisha

But then in the official documentation at "http://piwigo.org/doc/doku.php?id=user_documentation:metadata"

IPTC

To get Piwigo to SHOW and USE IPTC it is necessary (but may not be sufficent) to set the following variables:

<?php
$conf['show_iptc'] = true;
$conf['use_iptc'] = true;
?>

in a file which is in PIWIGO_ROOT/local/config/config.inc.php (at least for version 2.4.5)

It may be necessary to install and enable the Grum Plugin Classes and the Advanced Meta Data plugins.


The problem is using phrases like "(but may not be sufficent) "  and suggesting a plugin that no longer exists kinda makes things really impossible.

If I could find out how to do this I would be more than happy to write up new documentation for this, as I believe a lot of people would find this incredibly useful.

Nigel.
