Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Export Plugin

[jaywilliams+]

ljcbraga, try upgrading to the latest Version of Lightroom (1.4.1), and let me know if how it works for you then.

Jay,

I've already did it. It still doesn't work. But you know, I figured out why. The problem is in my host.

As I'm a neewbie and as I not sure if I could set pixelpost up, I signed up a free host (10gbfreehost.com). They're quite alright but there are some routines that only works if you have a payed account. Probably working with APIs (outbound instructions) is one of those.

I'm experiencing the same problem with Defensio API. Carl, from Defensio, was the one who'd told me about the free hosting problem.

I've asked the host support for a solution.

I'm sorry if I bothered you with this problem and I'd like to thank you for taking your time to help me.

rgds,

Leonardo

I noticed code in the fourm for stripping the .jpg/.jpeg off images when they are uploaded from lightroom. I was wondering if you could elaborate a bit as to where to put this code. I am pretty new to editing .php files.
Thanks.

Ok, well first you will need a plain-text editor, such as Notepad, or TextEdit.

Open up the file that goes in the admin folder, it's called "pp_upload.php".

Go to line #90, you should see this code:

PHP Code:

// Translate to Pixelpost format:
$_POST['headline'] = $_POST['title'];
$_POST['body'] = $_POST['description'];
$_POST['tags'] = trim($_POST['tags'],', '); 


Just add that extra line of code below that and you should be good to go.
it should look like this when you are done:

PHP Code:

// Translate to Pixelpost format:
$_POST['headline'] = $_POST['title'];
$_POST['body'] = $_POST['description'];
$_POST['tags'] = trim($_POST['tags'],', ');
$_POST['headline'] = str_replace(array(".JPG",".jpg"), "",$_POST['headline']); 


Save the changes, and re-upload the file, and you're done!

Hi Jay,

I'm currently using this addon to upload shots to my blog and it's working great.

I also use klimin_a_s' <CUSTOM_FIELDS> addon to add lens details for the shots too as I believe that the lens data is stripped when exported to jpg. At the moment this means I'm uploading with pp_upload and then going into admin and adding the lens details to the custom field manually for each shot I upload.

Is there anything in the code for the module files or pp_upload that could be added to/modified so that it would transfer this data across automatically? Perhaps read it from the EXIF in Lightroom itself, or even just give me the option to select from a list of lenses when I'm in the export window of Lightroom?

Thanks for your help.

Well, as a Lightroom plugin, it has access to all of the photo's data, which is quite handy.

So yes, it is quite possible to modify the plugin and/or the admin code to auto-import that information.

What exact name you are using for your your Custom Field lens info.

[unpackedrope]

Sweet!

I'm using a single custom field with the ID Name 'Lens' - see attached.

Thanks for your help.

after trying some hours that plugin, it rocks.
but two extra codes disabled in my admin backend the extension tab.

$_POST['tags'] = str_replace(" ", "_", str_replace(", ", ",", $_POST['tags']));

and

$_POST['headline'] = str_replace(array(".JPG",".jpg"), "",$_POST['headline']);


booth are things, i will use. than i got also the error popup with wrong key&url. actually it works with the error message.

[jaywilliams+]

Those lines of code shouldn't break the addons page.

To find out what's causing the page not to load, add the text "errorsall" to the end of the url, like this:

/admin/index.php?view=addons&errorsall

Hi Jay, everyone.
First of all, thanks for this supah plug Jay, no more waisting time exporting and uploading.
Now that I am waiting for my Solmeta DP-GPS N2 I needed to get the GPS data uploaded to the googlemap field with the googlemap addon and I thought I'd share my lines here..

Okay I have 3 functions for pulling the coordinates from the geotagged photo's which I placed in the
if (!isset($_GET['view'])) {

PHP Code:

    function exifToNumber($value, $format) {
        $spos = strpos($value, '/');
        if ($spos === false) {
            return sprintf($format, $value);
        } else {
            list($base, $divider) = split('/', $value, 2);
            if ($divider == 0) {
                return sprintf($format, 0);
            } else {
                return sprintf($format, ($base / $divider));
            }
        }
    }
    function exifToCoordinate($reference, $coordinate) { // $coordinate is an array
        if ($reference == 'S' || $reference == 'W') {
            $prefix = '-';
        } else {
            $prefix = '';
        }
        return $prefix . sprintf('%.6F', exifToNumber($coordinate[0], '%.6F') +
        (((exifToNumber($coordinate[1], '%.6F') * 60) +
        (exifToNumber($coordinate[2], '%.6F'))) / 3600));
    }
    function getCoordinates($filename) {    
        $exif = exif_read_data($filename, 0, true);
    
        if (isset($exif['GPS']['GPSLatitudeRef']) && isset($exif['GPS']['GPSLatitude']) && isset($exif['GPS']['GPSLongitudeRef']) && isset($exif['GPS']['GPSLongitude'])) {
            return array (
                exifToCoordinate($exif['GPS']['GPSLatitudeRef'], $exif['GPS']['GPSLatitude']),
                exifToCoordinate($exif['GPS']['GPSLongitudeRef'], $exif['GPS']['GPSLongitude'])
            );
        } else {
            // print "no GPS meta found...";
            // return false;
            return "";
        }    
    } 


Than in
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {

PHP Code:

                      // GPS
                      $exifgps_array = getCoordinates($uploadfile);
                      if ($exifgps_array[0] == 0 or $exifgps_array[1] == 0) {
                        $exifgps_string = ""; // null
                    } else {
                        $exifgps_string = "(" . $exifgps_array[0] . ", " . $exifgps_array[1] . ")"; // lat,lon
                    } 


And finally to get the coordinates string into the googlemap field in the database:

PHP Code:

$query = "INSERT INTO ".$pixelpost_db_prefix."pixelpost (datetime, headline, body, image, alt_headline, alt_body, comments, exif_info, googlemap)
                VALUES('$datetime', '$headline', '$body', '$image', '$alt_headline', '$alt_body', '$comments_settings', '$exif_info_db', '$exifgps_string')"; 


I hope this helps someone..
