exifs wont work...

[Jassu]

Hi !

I have used my Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.3.2 now about 2 weeks, but only problem is that i cant get exif-datas to show up. Servers specs:

- Redhat 7.3
- Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.3.2 (using imagemagick)
- Php 4.3.9 (configured with --enable-exif)
- Apache 2.0.52
- exif and libexifs are installed (if are needed at all)

I have configured from cpg's admin that exif datas are enabled, but those arent working. My cameras (Fuji Finepix 700) is supported. That cameras exifs works in other coppermines but not in mine

Now only thing that i get to show is :

- filename
- Albums name
- Size
- Dimensions
- Seen (times)
- Url
- Favourites

I would like to get also time, camera, shutter values etc and thats why i try to get those exifs work.

Could you help where to start digging the problem. Thanks in advance

please post a link to your page, together with a deep link to a pic that is supposed to hold exif data.

I have a similar problem - I'm using the latest official build of Coppermine (1.3.2) and PHP version 4.3.9 that is not compiled with ----enable-exif but that shouldn't be a problem, right? I can only see the file info that Jassu mentioned regardless of setting the option to read EXIF info to on or off. It's the case for every single picture in my gallery.

Here is a link to my page:  http://tofu.woolnet.net/gallery/

Thank you in advance for any help/tips.

hm, not sure what went wrong. I can confirm that your pic holds exif data, and the exif data is not displayed for me neither when I upload it to my test gallery. I tried with the devel version as well, where everything worked as expected (the exif data was being displayed). However, this is of course not a very relevant bit of information for you, as you're looking for help with your actual gallery version, not the devel version (which goes unsupported anyway). I'm sorry, I must confess I have no idea, maybe another dev could look into this... Sorry.

From Gaugau's findings it appears that the problem is with the older EXIF lib which is used in cpg 1.3.2 - we changed the lib in the devel version where things will work fine....

You can use the devel version BUT that is a devel version - not supported as yet

Okay, thank you for your help guys. I guess I will wait for the final version - EXIF is not important enough to risk using a dev version, especially when you're an absolute PHP newbie like me It's good to know it will work in the next version though - now I have something to wait for.
