 Photoblog with Exif info |
 |
Hi all,
I'm trying to create a photoblog for my pictures, however, none of the software I tried is what I want exactly. I still really like cutenews.ru, and I think it's possible to create a Photoblog with it, however, there would be one thing missing; Exif-information with things like shuttertime, focal length, ISO and aperture.
Does anyone know how to create such a thing in cutenews.ru?
THNX in advance!

What exactly are you trying to get the site to do? How do you need it to react? I have tons of photo blogs running with cutenews and they do just what I need. I've seen them customized many many different ways.
Is it more complicated than I have done on http://www.scottdizzle.com ? Check 'my pictures' and 'funny pictures' to see the different ways I have them laid out.

That my pictures part is just a part of what I'm trying to do, I think I'll succeed in that part, shouldn't be too hard, but the part I am interested in is this; http://www.exif.org/samples.html
Just click on full info for one of the sample images. Now that's a lot of Exif information, I don't need all of it, just the important parts. To see how it would be displayed on a real photoblog-software, look here; http://www.watchthisspace.ca/pixelpost/index.php?showimage=202
Now suddenly people can see important information about that particular image;
Canon EOS 30D
Exposure: 51 sec
Aperture: f 8
ISO: 100
Focal: 17 mm
Flash: Not Fired
And that's exactly what I want to show for my pictures. Now, I could write all of that by hand, but if the info is already stored in the picture itself, why not use it the way it was intended with some kind of Exif-reader...
I hope I made it more clear what I want to have...
THNX

Oh I kinda had a feeling that's how you wanted to do it. Use XFields for that. Create an XField for every extra thing you're going to need in your template.

That's what I thought of as a secondary possibility (although I've never used xfields, is there some kind of tuorial or help for it?), But still I prefer an automatic Exif-reader if someone knows of a way to accomplish this...
There's even a built in exif reader in php, just don't know if this is any good;

Sorry for continuous posting but I just found out even more. On that page I see a newer project of the maker of Exifer called fotopholder. I downloaded it and looked through the php and saw he uses the PHP function exif_read_data (http://nl3.php.net/manual/nl/function.exif-read-data.php). Now check out a sample of that gallery, exactly the piece of information I'm looking for, though exif_read_data. The problem still is, I have absolutely no idea how to implement this PHP code into cutenews.ru, can anyone help?

The instructions refer to the latest image module.
1. Open images.mdu and find this:
 | | if(in_array(strtolower(end(explode('.', $file))), $allowed_extensions)){ |
add above:
| | $insert .= '<br />'.get_exif_info($config_path_image_upload.'/'.$file); |
2. Add this at the end of the file above the last ?>:
| | function get_exif_info($image){
$info = exif_read_data($image);
$time = explode(" ", $info['COMPUTED']['ExposureTime']);
$time = $time[0];
$focal = explode("/", $info['FocalLength']);
$focal = round(($focal[0] / $focal[1]), 1);
$output = '<table>';
$output .= '<tr><td colspan="2">'.$info['Model'].'</td></tr>';
$output .= '<tr><td>Exposure</td><td>'.$time.' sec</td></tr>';
$output .= '<tr><td>Aperture</td><td>'.$info['COMPUTED']['ApertureFNumber'].'</td></tr>';
$output .= '<tr><td>Focal</td><td>'.$focal.' mm</td></tr>';
$output .= '</table>';
return $output;
} |

It doesn't seem to work, I did what you told me, but this is the result in the add images dialog;

And when viewing the added image in the post it shows the thumbnail like I wanted, but no Exif info...
Do you have any idea? THNX!

Maybe exif support is disabled.
To test it put the following code in a file and run it in your browser:
| | <?php
function checkExifversion() {
$capabilities = get_extension_funcs("exif");
if(!$capabilities) return 0;
if(in_array ("exif_read_data",$capabilities)) return 1;
return 0;
}
if(checkExifversion() == 0) echo 'No exif-support.';
if(checkExifversion() == 1) echo 'Exif support enabled.';
?> |

Maybe the picture is the problem.
I successfully tested it with the image below.

No, that image has Exif, already tested it with other applications, however, perhaps I shopuld add that I already see those errors when I enter the insert image dialog, so before even uploading the image...

I guess, your other images are the problem then. Test it using just the image from above.
