Add keywords while batch-adding

[serviceplus]

Hi everyone,

I already used the search and found a few topics related to my question but no real answer. I am searching for a way (best a plugin) that allows me to add keywords while batch-adding images. I usually add many pics at ones and adding keyword seperately for every pictures takes a lot of time. Also I don't have a keyword for the whole album but when I batch-add my images all of them share some special keywords that I want to add during that process.

Is there a way to do this? I know other people asked for this as well

As you probably already noticed, that's not possible out of the box in cpg1.5.x. As far as I know there doesn't exist a mod or plugin yet that adds this feature. I assume the answer to the other threads was something like "add the keywords to the pictures' IPTC data before upload and enable IPTC in the Coppermine config", as this already works as a workaround. If this is no option for you, let me know and I'll have a look if I can create a mod.

However, this feature might be useful. If you want to see it in a future version of Coppermine, please start a new thread in the feature requests board (if there's no such thread yet).

If you could create a mod that would be fabulous. I am not working in the gallery alone and I doubt that the other people would remember to do the workaround. I will also check out the feature request board, thank you!

Open searchnew.php, find

Code Select Expand

$warning;
and replace with

Code Select Expand

'<tr><td class="tableh2" valign="middle" align="right" colspan="4">Add the following keyword(s) to all new inserted files (separated by "'.$CONFIG['keyword_separator'].'") <input type="text" class="textinput" name="keywords" id="keywords" /></td><tr>' . $warning;

open js/searchnew.js, find

Code Select Expand

url += '&aid=' + qm.aid;
and replace with

Code Select Expand

url += '&aid=' + qm.aid + '&keywords=' + document.getElementById('keywords').value;

open include/picmgmt.inc.php, find

Code Select Expand

if ($CONFIG['read_iptc_data']) {
and above, add

Code Select Expand

        $superCage = Inspekt::makeSuperCage();
        if ($superCage->get->keyExists('keywords') && trim($superCage->get->getEscaped('keywords')) != '') {
            $keywords = trim($superCage->get->getEscaped('keywords'));
        }


Note: this change will disable the import of IPTC data (if enabled) if one or more manual keywords are submitted.

Hi Αndré,

that worked well, thank you!

For the future: If you ever include this into coppermine I would suggest maybe adding keywords by a drop-down list so that you cannot spell words wrong. Then it would be perfect

Very useful, will implement it too ...
