I tried experimenting with metadata now... but I am told "Exif extension not available, admin should disable exif use". Does thiis mean Exif if not installed on my webhost? If that's the case, is there any way to manually point to a local binary of Exif? Menalto Gallery allows for this, but I couldn't find anything like that in PHPWebGallery, but maybe I don't know where to look?

If Menalto is able to do it, PhpWebGallery should also be able to :-) (in theory). Can you open a feature request on the bug tracker ?

I'd add this to the bug tracker, but I can't seem to sucessfully log into it. It never accepts my password, and when I try to reset it, it always tells me "This account is protected. You are not allowed to access this until the account protection is lifted."

I have exactly the same problem (I let a post here in the french forum) But, because exif is not very important I "laisse tomber" . May be, it is because exif function of php is not activated on my server ?

AVTM82 · 2005-06-06 12:22:42

The cause was... the MySQL version.
I change from version 3.23.58 to 4.1.12 and it is OK now !
Thank you very much for your answers

You succeded to see the exif data with the Menalto Gallery on your server?
If not or if this gallery do not use default php exif funtions, check if Exif PHP extension is enabled on you server (on the phpinfo)

I had the same message on my computer, I activated Exif in the php extensions, and now, it works

I get "Exif extension not available, admin should disable exif use"
Instructions are not helpful. Config file not where it's supposed to be in 2.1. In fact. 2.1 has many config files, but none appear to refer to the exif.

Can anyone suggest where one goes to turn off exif in 2.1?

Thanks.

The answer:
config_default.inc.php in /include

No. Don't modify this file, it will certainly be overwritten on next upgrade.

In your local/config/config.inc.php, adds:

Code:

<?php
$conf['use_exif'] = false;
$conf['show_exif'] = false;
?>

Look, I'm new to all this PHP stuff. I keep getting the above message and, obviously, my exif data is not uploading so the calendar feature doesn't work.

I've read all the advice on here plus others and would be delighted to carry it out but when I go onto my web host I can find neither an .INI or a CONFIG file. Where are they to be found? I assumed in the php folder but I've searched everywhere.

I've also searched through all the available php extensions available to install but there's no mention of EXIF anywhere. In fact I can't even find a "local" directory - I'm used to that being on my computer or indeed a php info file

Grateful for any help.

Ian

1) install/activate [extension by Piwigo Team] LocalFiles Editor from screen [Administration > Plugins > Manage]

2) open [Administration > Plugins > LocalFiles Editor > Local config] and paste the following code:

Code:

<?php
$conf['show_exif']=false;
$conf['use_exif']=false;
 ?>
