Re: Face Tag Editor

Hello,

After a long period of debugging, versions 2.0 of the
face tag and face tag editor plugins have been released.

https://fr.piwigo.org/ext/index.php?eid=1051
https://fr.piwigo.org/ext/index.php?eid=1053

What do these plugins do?

face_tag displays the frames and names of tagged faces, either with face_tag_editor or with other software such as digiKam, Lightroom, Picasa (now defunct), or XnView.

face_tag_editor allows you to tag faces, meaning you add a frame with the person's name to the photo. It also allows you to add/edit a description.

See Plugin > Configuration for more details.

Many thanks to the contributors who made the plugins debugging possible.

Please report any malfunctions that will inevitably appear during use ;-)

Re: Face Tag Editor

Sorry for jumping into this thread. I wonder if these plug-ins may read already included faceTags inserted by Windows gallery.  which one of both may be necessaryly installed in Piwigo? I do not intend tagging in Piwigo only showing exiting tags. Person name are already imported and available as Tags

Best Regards Gerhard

Re: Face Tag Editor

Hi !!

There are two plugins:

- face_tag, which reads and displays face tags written in the photo's metadata;

- face_tag_editor, which reads and allows editing (adding, modifying, deleting) face tags. These tags are stored in the photo's metadata.

For recognized formats, please refer to the documentation in the plugins configuration.

To have Piwigo display tags and descriptions, you must add these lines of code to LFE > Local configuration:

Code:

// use_iptc: Use IPTC data during database synchronization with files
// metadata
$conf['show_iptc'] = false;
$conf['use_iptc'] = true;

// use_iptc_mapping : in which IPTC fields will Piwigo find image
// information ? This setting is used during metadata synchronisation. It
// associates a piwigo_images column name to a IPTC key
$conf['use_iptc_mapping'] = array(
  'keywords'        => '2#025',
  'author'          => '2#080', 
  'name'            => '2#105',
  'comment'         => '2#120'
  );
