Use IPTC infos of jpg image in Lightbox description ????

[heliotrope]

Hello...
I've been searching infos in the forum about this, but I found nothing ..
Is there a possibility to read IPTC informations of Jpeg files, and put these infos in description field/caption of the large image in Lightbox ???
(or anywhere else in the page...)
Is someone able to code some lines???
RT ???

thanks a lot !

...is someone able to code some lines???

can not be done easily i guess. same to EXIF...
but this is an interesting question.
could perhaps be an issue regarding --> ImageMagick, too. [to handle, read, save --> keep this data]
whether they remain in connection, close with the images, there could be a way to read them out and place the information anywhere...

Hi Jensensen...
Thanks a lot for your advices...
Well.. I'm not really a programmer ...the only thing I can do is working templates , css, html...Etc
So, I don't know what to do since this function could allow me to built a full phpwcms integrated image bank...
Maybe a solution will appear in the next version of phpwcms ...

hi heliotrope,

.. I'm not really a programmer ...

me too, but since using phpwcms (cms at all) I need to . and try to amend...

...image bank...

do you know any [online] gallery tools, which can handle IPTC/EXIF tags?

...So, I don't know what to do...

i don't know as well...

...Maybe a solution will appear in the next version of phpwcms...

no, since there are no other server apps, libs, --> interface which read/work with this data...

[Jensensen]

well, there are some news:

when you run this little php script on your server [to check which PHP Extensions are available],

<?php
$loadedXT = get_loaded_extensions();
for($i=0; $i<count($loadedXT); $i++)
{
echo $i+1, ": ", $loadedXT[$i], "<br />";
}
?>

you will probably notice that there is --> exif installed as well...
[this php lib is available for several years yet oops ]

ImageMagick should be able to handle EXIF tags:
http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-se ... =3&t=10491
or
http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-se ... hilit=EXIF
but only since ImageMagick v6.3.8-1 Beta.

The question generally is, whether IPTC or EXIF tags work with files --> after conversion, scaling etc...

On my web server there is the php exif extension installed but no ImageMagick. So, I couldn't run any tests. Anyway, I guess, phpwcms takes no care for this tags...[so far]...even though ImageMagick does [will do].

Needs some more research....
