Hi,
With Bootstrap Darkroom, there are 3 possibilities to display the picture information.
You have set it for the sidebar, but have you tried the 2 others : card grid below the image or tabs below the image ? It could be closer to what you wish without forking the Piwigo.

Hi,
tabs below the image

Hello Katryne,

many thanks for the hint, seems I missed to test the tabs one, which is what I like the most and suits my needs. With just one question left, can I make a specific tab be the active one? I like to have the EXIF tab to be the default (open) tab.

Many thanks for your hint again!

I think I already have the solution :-)


I added this CSS to my Bootstrap theme:

/* hide first tab */
.nav-item:first-child {
    display: none;
}

/* set metadata as active tab */
.nav-link[href="#tab_metadata"] {
}

#tab_metadata {
    display: block !important; /* show content of tab metadata */
}

#tab_info {
    display: none !important; /* hide info tab */
}

I don't know if that can be done different or the CSS can ba optimized but at least I got it to work.

BTW - I opted to not show any info, but still the first tab for the Info was generated and displayed empty, I now opted for not having comments allowed which is now resulting the third tab for comments to be hidden, which is what I would expect for the info tab too. Anyways now it displays as I want it.

Below is what I have in the 1st tab of the plugin Local Files Edito, pick your choice !

$conf['show_exif'] = true;
$conf['show_exif_fields'] = array(
  'DateTimeOriginal',
  'Make',
  'Model',
  'ExposureProgram',
  'FocalLengthIn35mmFilm',
  'FNumber',
  'ExposureTime',
  'ISOSpeedRatings',
  'Flash',
  'WhiteBalance',
  'UserComment'
  );
$conf['show_iptc'] = true;
$conf['show_iptc_mapping'] = array(
  'iptc_creator'         => '2#080',
  'iptc_title'           => '2#005',
  'iptc_headline'        => '2#105',
  'iptc_description'     => '2#120',
  'iptc_keywords'        => '2#025',
  );
$conf['use_exif'] = true;
$conf['use_iptc'] = true;

All this comes from the reference file you can reach by clicking  on the link called " Display reference file: "config_default.inc.php" above the field of the 1st tab of Local File Editor.
