Ok this is the 15th post to get me past the limit.

Jknights · June 3rd, 2012, 02:27 PM

These links take you to different users galleries.
user jk Member Profile - My Photo Gallery
user judith Judith Gallery - My Photo Gallery
user Robert Robert Gallery - My Photo Gallery
user Squarerigger Squarerigger Gallery - My Photo Gallery
user Ralph G Speer Ralph G Speer Gallery - My Photo Gallery

The top two urls are different for some reason to the others.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Can you explain how/why the urls are different for the top two users.
Thanks

Chuck S · June 3rd, 2012, 06:34 PM

well the bottom 3 urls are normal user gallery links.

The first url is not a members gallery link it is there profile page.

The second url how are you get from clicking there actual user url in the breadcrumb

If I look at your members gallery all the members gallery links are the same

But the link to my personal gallery is
jk Gallery - My Photo Gallery
So yes all is good. ;-)
That seems to close of the getting to the gallery problems.

Next question is how do I get the image EXIF details to be displayed.
I have it set in the Admin Options to be Yes so EXIF extracted and shown but I cant see it against images.
This is an important feature for us.

Also please can you load this file into the header of the Gallery.

Chuck S · June 4th, 2012, 08:02 AM

well the real question there is do you have jhead installed on your server. Much like Imagemagick to process images jhead extracts exif.

If you have a functional jhead on your server you can set the proper server path to it in global options and try seeing if exif is extracted.

Jknights · June 4th, 2012, 03:24 PM

Hi Chuck,
No jhead installed AFAIK.
Is it freeware ?
Is it something you can install for me so it works for the gallery?.

Chuck S · June 4th, 2012, 03:51 PM

You would need ssh access to install jhead

There is a code mod that may help if you have exif installed as part of PHP

I have altered your code to use php's exif and this seems to help you alot see the show exif link

No I cant see any EXIF.
But I can see a link that says Show EXIF but clicking on it provides nothing.

There should be full EXIF with images in my album.

Please can you install jhead for me. You have the Admin login details.

Also please can you load the logo file that I attached to post 24.

Thanks. I think we are nearly there with the customisations ;-)

Chuck S · June 4th, 2012, 05:26 PM

well you have a problem with the ajax when you click show exif the exif info is suppose to display under the photo I can make it so that it shows all the time.

Jknights · June 5th, 2012, 02:34 AM

Well what ever you have done the EXIF is working now.
Thank you very much.

Jknights · June 5th, 2012, 02:35 AM

Last item now is the Gallery header banner logo was not there but when I looked I saw that there was a comma in the logo name so that now works.

Thanks very much for all you help over the last few days.
I think that we need to start using the PPP in serious mode now.
That way we get to see its real power and get to understand if we need to do any more customisations.

Chuck S · June 5th, 2012, 08:33 AM

enjoy have fun with it.

Jknights · June 5th, 2012, 08:52 AM

I think we will do. :-)

It has been really good to have somebody like you to help set it up.
Thanks very much for everything.

Chuck S · June 5th, 2012, 10:02 AM

No problem glad to help.

Just spotted an anomaly in the gallery.

There is a link/command to 'Show EXIF', It doesn't DO anything. The EXIF is on permanently, it needs a command to turn it off/on as well, the EXIF is more dominant than the image.

We do need the EXIF to understand the image but given it's so complete and dominant we need to be able to turn it off as well.

Is there some way to specify the fields displayed ?

We only need camera, focal length, aperture and shutter speed and possibly date of image. Most of the other data is of no/little interest to anyone.

If necessary we will need to take all EXIF data but it needs to be able to be Off most of the time but then if a member wants to see an image EXIF he/she should be able to click on Show Exif link then this should change to Hide EXIF when the EXIF is visible.

Chuck S · June 5th, 2012, 01:39 PM

I believe I commented on this above.

The way the exif info works is best shown here

You click the link and it expands.

The problem as I see and commented above is your site is not listening to the ajax command and I stated I edited your template to make it appear which means it is on all the time.

I will see if I can find out why your ajax does not work but that will take time as I can not replicate that anywhere.

Jknights · June 5th, 2012, 05:22 PM

Thanks Chuck.
You obviously understand way better than I do and so are better placed to advise what needs doing and if necessary then I will support all actions to fix. If you think that Jim Hale at Data1 Systems needs to be involved then please email him or me so we can get to the bottom of this.

Chuck S · June 5th, 2012, 06:42 PM

No problem by the way if you want me to look at jhead I need you to send me your cpanel info so I can verify whether it can be installed. I need to track and find out if using the PHP exif is what is causing your exif ajax not to work.

Jknights · June 6th, 2012, 02:23 AM

CPanel info sent in email.
Thanks

Jknights · June 6th, 2012, 06:41 AM

Chuck we seem to have lost the Forums link that took us back to discussion forums.
:-(

Please can you restore ASAP as it makes life so much easier.
