configuration metadata metadata:exif metadata:iptc

Hi

I'm setting up a new install of Piwigo. I have installed the latest version and have not made any changes.

I expected that when I uploaded a photo (I'm dragging and dropping in the add photos page) the creation date would be recorded and would show up in the metadata being displayed beneath each photo in the albums. What I am finding is that while the posted date shows up the creation date does not. When I look at the photo data in the admin section there is no creation date. The synchronise metadata function does no chage this. Creation date is definitely in the metadata since when I display meatadata the DateTimeOriginal shows up with the original creation date. I can add the creation date manually and then it displays. But of course I want to have that date show up automatically for every image I upload.

I have looked all over the forum but cannot find the answer to this simple question: What do I need to do please in order to have the creation date recorded in Piwigo and displayed automatically when I upload a photo?

Also, keywords are not importing on upload, or if they are they are not displaying as tags. I expected this would happen automatically, but it is not. So question 2: what do I need to do please so that when I upload a photo the keywords that are embedded in the image show up as tags in the album?

I found this: https://piwigo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=28203, which is pretty helpful.

I implemented section 2, with the result that keywords are being brought into the Piwigo database and being displayed as tags.

Still can't get creation date to upload to database and display in Bootstrap Darkroom, despite implementing section 3.

Any ideas as to how to get datetimeoriginal exif to load into database and display in Bootstrap Darkroom would be much appreciated.

Anyone?

I have reinstalled Piwigo, but still no luck. No sign at all of creation date exif being uploaded and brought into database.

Cannot work out how to do this.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Read Metadate plugin shows that DateTimeOriginal exif data (and a lot of other exif data) has been uploaded. But it doesn't display on themes that are supposed to display creation date. Also in Modus theme the display metadata button does not display metadata. Don't know where to go from here.

When I add a photo file with meta data in it, they are displayed below the photo immediately.
Plugins installed on my site that could help :
- manage properties photos
- meta
- write metadata
- and maybe exifview

Also in the 1st tab of Local files editor plugin, I added:

Code:

$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;

Thanks Katryne, very helpful.

Like your websites.

Do you mind me asking, how do you display a location map on the photo page?

EDIT: No worries I've worked it out.
