EXIF data (outdated)

yes, one way would be to have PHP-installation modified

but look through this forum, search for "exifer", I think there is another way to get EXIF-information, if I remember right...
there are some messages concerning this

good luck!

yes I already saw that Exifier, but I'm completely unaware of PHP and I can't use it.

thus I was wondering if pixelpunk will release an update... :wink:

thanks anyway, I like pixelpost!

Can anyone tell me how I install exifer/where I put all the files I get when I download exifer? It seems as if it has it's own "index.php" page. I'm confused. Any help would be great.

I looked through the forums for a bit but felt I was going around in circles. Thanks for bringing me to the right place. I will try it tonight and report back.

Thanks, ramina, for the help but nothing in the posts you recommended really helps me to sort out where all the files I received when I downloaded "exifer" go.

I have, in the "exifer1_4" folder I downloaded, four files and one folder. One of the files is a jpeg image. Do I place all of those on my server and at what level? The same level as "index.php" resides in my pixelpost installation? In a folder at that level? Do I pick out specific files form this set and leave others? I'm at a loss.

In addition I opened all of the php files inside of the "exifer1_4" folder I downloaded and, using the find command in Dreamweaver, could not find the word "require" that george says should be "around line 43" at:
http://www.pixelpost.org/forum/viewt...c&start=15
I am not even sure what file he is referring to.

Any ideas?

The solution is in 4 simple steps:

1) put exifer folder (with folder name exifer) in the main folder of your pixelpost where these folders reside: templates, thumbnails, admin, and ... . Do not change anything in the exifer.

2) change pixelpost's index.php at the top by adding this line
require_once("exifer/exif.php");

3) at the line about 306 of pixelpost's index.php, replace
// EXIF STUFF
if(extension_loaded(exif)) {

with
// EXIF STUFF
if(true) {


4) now exif data should apear. there is still some nessesary modifications for correct appearace that you can find the solutions in the threads I mentioned before.

1) He was refering to pixelpost's index.php
2) rename the exifer folder to the "exifer" to avoid further confusion
3) Do what he told in that post with your pixelpost's index.php. I forgot to mention them in my last reply.
4) again: change nothing in the exifer folder.

Ahhhh, now I think we're (and by "we" I guess I mean me) getting somewhere. Thanks for the explanation. It is starting to make more sense. I will try it tomorrow. Grazie, grazie.
