[Closed]: adding exif date to user1 column

[vktr]

Hi,

I just started with coppermine, looks great. I'd like to have a plugin to populate user1 column of the pictures table with date from exif info. I'm trying this:

Code Select Expand


$thisplugin->add_filter('add_file_data', 'exif2user');

function exif2user($pict_data) {
   $fullpath = $pict_data['filepath'] . $pict_data['filename'];
   $exif = read_exif_data_raw($fullpath, true);
   $pict_data['user1'] = ??????????????;

   return $pict_data;
}


How do I get the content of 'DateTime digitized' field from $exif? Does this hook really execute once when a file is added?

Thanks,
Viktor

8. Post links
When posting a support request, it's helpfull for supporters in most cases to see what the actual page looks like, that's why it's mandatory that you always post a link to your coppermine gallery page when asking for support. If your site contains adult content, make sure to post a warning together with your link!

Well, it looks like any other coppermine gallery (looks great). Any hint on how to get the exif info from within a plugin? Thanks.

I'm Sorry I wasn't clear before... The board rules are saying that you must post a link to your gallery before you will receive support. There is a mod that does something similar, you'd know this if you read the rules and did a search

So here is the solution. Indeed, PhotoComment plugin has a similar thing.

Code Select Expand

include_once('include/exif.php');
if (!defined('IN_COPPERMINE')) die('Not in Coppermine...');

$thisplugin->add_filter('add_file_data', 'exif2user');

function exif2user($pict_data) {
    global $CONFIG;

    $fullpath = $CONFIG['fullpath'] . $pict_data['filepath'] . $pict_data['filename'];
    $exif = read_exif_data_raw($fullpath, true);

    if (isset($exif) && is_array($exif)) {
    foreach ($exif as $k => $v) {
    if ($k == 'SubIFD') {
                $pict_data['user1'] = substr($v['DateTimedigitized'], 0, 10);
            }
    }
    }
    return $pict_data;
}


P.S. php does feel a bit weird

Hm...

In the future, please do as supporters and board rules suggest. Marking thread as "closed", as you haven't really resolved it properly (again: please read up board rules).
You haven't supplied enough details to enable us to answer your actual question: it depends on the plugin hook you use. In PHP as well as in any other programming language, it depends on the context, so you should have told us what you already ahev and where you need to call the needed data from.
Example from the real world: You can't ask "how do I drive a vehicle?", as this depends on the type of vehicle you want to drive and a number of other factors that have an impact. The same thing applies for programming as well: you need to make sure that the processing results /data that you want to re-use are already present (i.e. they must have been processed already) and you need to make sure to respect the particular rules that exist for programming languages (in PHP: make sure to understand the scope of variables).

Joachim Müller, I have no idea what you are talking about. What details are missing? All I wanted was to populate the user1 field when a file is added, as stated in the original post. Still not clear?? Or you mean I didn't post the URL of my private photo gallery? That's a plain stupid request if you ask me. Or is my solution bad? In what regard? If it's bad, then please correct it. In any case it works for me

What a strange place this is for an open source community LOL

Cheers,

Have you actually bothered to click the link in Jeff's initial reply in this thread:

http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,55415.msg270616.html#msg270616

and read the section you quoted yourself? It says that it's mandatory to post a link to your gallery if you want help. You claim to be from Canada so I expect you know the meaning of the word "mandatory". I can't spot that link to your gallery anywhere, so there no further help for you - simple as that.

Joachim Müller, all I can say you're fucking idiot. Coppermine is great, I'm converting hundreds of my albums to it. Thanks to all developers who made it happen. Wonderful project, I wish I could participate, but it looks like you've got a bunch of assholes on board.... Again, my ultimate respect to the developers, guys, you rock. Thanks!!



Cheers,
