EXIF date format?

[cnate]

Sorry if this is mentioned somewhere and I just didnt see it...

I'm trying to get a way to change the exif capture date/time format (year:month:day hour:min:sec) to something different, like we are able to do with the dates for comments/posts in the admin section (or maybe even have it controlled by the date format in the admin section aswell). thanks in advance! :)

you need something strange. you should parse the EXIF date string. no other way IMO.

Any suggestions on how i would go about doing that?

I'm not too good with php so of course the method I was trying just wouldnt work (explode the exif date per :, then use mktime to get a timestamp, then date to get a date of my liking).

:(

[raminia]

yeah something alike. I'm too sleepy to make good suggestions.

I got it to work now...

Just added these lines:
$xdate = explode(':', str_replace(" ",":",$capture_date));
$capture_date = date($cfgrow['dateformat'], mktime($xdate[3],$xdate[4],$xdate[5],$xdate[1],$xd ate[2],$xdate[0]));


right under $capture_date = $exif_result['SubIFD']['DateTimeOriginal']; // Date and Time
in index.php.

Now all my image capture dates look like the rest of the dates on my site :)

Hiya,

I can't find the place you're supposed to enter this text at all in my index.php. I'm running 1.6 and looking in the index.php file that resides in the root folder.

owen, do a search around the forum. I have posted a solution a few weeks ago.

Do you mean this thread:

http://www.pixelpost.org/forum/showthread.php?t=7485

Because that doesn't really handle what I'm talking about in a simple way, if so, and I'm pretty sure it's not the solution I'm looking for that other people have used...

Why can't I find the text mentioned above on the index.php? Has it changed with 1.6?

[austriaka]

in v1.6 it is line 77 of includes/functions_exif.php:
$capture_date = $exif_result['DateTimeOriginalSubIFD']; // Date and Time

in v1.7 this is fixed and will show the EXIF date and time in the date format you set in Admin options.
