Hello/Hi/Greetings,
Hi to everybody,
I´m a new user of Piwigo with no experience in Web galleries at all. Thanks to the wonderful forum and help topics from Piwigo community and a little help from my friends, I´ve managed to start a wild plant pictures web gallery for educational purposes using metadata tags and Piwigo.
I uploaded around 1000 images with metadata info using FTP + synchro, and the process was fast and with no problem for most of the batch, only recent photos give me this weird to my knowledge problem: Piwigo is unable to sync recent files.
More specifically all pictures taken during 2014 do not seem to sync with the Piwigo MySQL database, the rest of the pictures going from 1990 to 2013 have no problem, and metadata info is displayed and searched using Piwigo gallery. I used metadata.php and a sample.jpg file for testing and I got this message: “no IPTC information” when I use one of my 2014 files.
However, I know the metadata info is in there for 2014 files because using a Pics management software over the same file, it shows all tags (date_creation, author, name, comment) with no problem and they have the correct data. But somehow in Piwigo the database in MySQL is unable to take them.
Please, does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hello
could you use the tool/metadata.php to check what metadata can be read

Thank you for your interest.
When a use tool/metadata.php with a sample.jpg I got this message:
“no IPTC information”, but I know the info is there because when I open the file in a Pic manager software I can easily see the metadata info for all tags.

is it the exact same picture ?
or you might have an old exif module for php...

As far as I know the picture (file) is the same. I send to you the sample. jpg just in case you have time to see.
I rechecked again and I got the same message: IPTC info not found.
thanks a lot again for you time
