URI and Exif Information

[george36]

Hello,

I am a newbiee at the coppermine world as I just started and I do face a lil problem which you may help me to solve.

When I upload and photo the EXIF info is displayed correctly.

When I upload a photo using URI the exif info is NOT displayed despite the fact that the EXIF exists in the file.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance for you help.

Can you post the URI?

Can you post the URI?

Thank you Nibbler

That works as expected on my test gallery. Make sure you have the latest version of Coppermine. Have you applied any EXIF or upload related mods? Can you post a link to your gallery?

[george36]

Sure I can..

No I did not upload any exif related plugin. Only stramms mod.

tested your link on my test gallery as well, no problem so far with URI+exif

older versions of the modpack had issues with exif...

Nibbler (or other), I have the same problem - limited EXIF info available for viewing (file name thru URL).
I have installed an "upload related mod" (CPG MassImport)
Not getting all the info-rich stuff (Digital Zoom Ratio..., Exif Image Height..., etc)

Any ideas of how to fix?

[Stramm]

please verify if the plugin is the culprit and if so, post your problem in the plugins board

I did a test two by setting up a test gallery with the mod and it is working perfectly.
However the problem remains on my gallery.

Any idea how to troubleshoot this will be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

CPG + mass importer (+)
CPG + modpack        (+)
but
CPG + modpack + massimporter --> (-)

is that correct??
If so then the mass importer conflicts with the modpack. I haven't had a look at that plugins code. But I can name the problem. If you watermark an image then exif info gets deleted from that image (recompressing). Therefore the modpack reads the exif from the backup image (prefix orig_). If the plugin uses own code to add stuff and doesn't rely on CPG functions that may be the culprit.

Ok I did some trouble shooting just to determine when this occurs.

Actions.

1. Setup a domain installed mod and plugins. Result : Perfect Exif info is ok
2. Deleted all content from the domain including.
3. Re-installed coppermine ONLY and used URI to upload. Result : Exif info not displayed.
4. Re-installed coppermine not on the root but /test directory. Uploaded file with URI. Result : Exif info displayed.

So it is not the mod, nor the plugins but coppermine itself. Why? I do not know.

Anyone willing to help?

Thank you.

PS. I deleted .htacess and some exif info are displayed on my galleries now but not all (uploaded with URI only). If I uploaded the file everything is ok.

George.

Stramm,

I believe this thread must go back to CPG support, as the mod is ok and not causing issues on this.

I'd say it's better to start a new thread there with all the info and everything you tried in one single post
