No your don't have Exif info!!!!!
If I download your photo (in full size) it don't contain any exif data. And dont tell me that it is when Im saving your photo Im loosing the data. I can download the other photos from my site and they still have exif data after I downloaded them.
So if you have Exif data in your photo before upload the must in someway be stripped by Photopost!
You are saying that I can see it have exif data when you have uploaded it to your install, where can I see that????

Look at post 6. I definately saved it with exif.

Chuck S · September 25th, 2009, 05:55 AM

I am looking right at the file information it most definately has exif before being uploaded to your system.

all I can say in this regard is if you take a photo you know absolutely has exif and upload it to your site and nothing is extracted the answer will be what I have posted before. Your sites jhead is not working correctly or you have it turned off in the options.

Sorry but there is no other answer.

KlausM · September 25th, 2009, 06:44 AM

Yes I can see that you on your own site have exif data in that photo.

And no my sites jhead is not working correctly - that´s why we now have been writing 24 posts about it!

And it´s not turned off in the options.

It´s just weird that it have been working for a short time.

Chuck S · September 25th, 2009, 08:35 AM

Klaus the photo I uploaded clearly has exif info!

I can right click the photo go to information and read all the exif info.

Really the only thing I can say is if you upload a photo to your site and the exif information is not extracted it can only be one of the two things I noted to my knowledge. We require a working jhead program. If your using a precompiled binary then maybe its the wrong precompiled binary. I know on my server I compiled jhead myself though ssh.

Chuck S · September 25th, 2009, 09:29 AM

Here is another one

002 - ReefTalk Gallery

Has exif uploaded to your site and no exif

digitalphoto.geek.nz - 002

Basically as I have stated many times over in this thread. Your jhead does not appear to be working that or you have it turned off.

KlausM · September 25th, 2009, 08:27 PM

Yes and on this one - your second upload I can download it and see the exif data, so the are not stripped in any way.

YES I know it´s not working that is what all theese postings are about, I really don´t understand when you write like that?

I can´compile it myself because my host do give people shell access.

Are there any other solutions than jhead which not need to be compiled on the server?

Chuck S · September 25th, 2009, 08:46 PM

there are no solutions other than what has been posted in any of the exif threads. You must have a compiled working jhead install on the server to extract exif. That is my answer from a support perspective of the actual software.

You could possibly try changing these lines in image-inc.php

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

to maybe this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

We do not use the exif function in PHP as it has always been a security risk and very buggy. Now you can try this above and it should work as long as your php supports exif but there is no support given here on this.

I never liked the exif function of php either its very dirty not clean like jhead. You can see here I made this slight change and it works although as stated I dont think its as clean as jhead is

KlausM · September 25th, 2009, 09:22 PM

YES YES and YES that did it

Thanks Chuck, Im so glad I have used 3-4 days on this.

So we can conclude:
It was not my jhead that didn´t work.
It was not a wrong path
It was the code in Photopost!
So why isn´t that code standard in Photopost?

But Thanks again

KlausM · September 25th, 2009, 09:27 PM

Ok I can see now that I misunderstood your last post. It´s actual not jhead´s extraction I can see now but the Exif function in PHP, is that correct?

And I can see that many of the informations is useless, but ok this is better than nothing!

KlausM · September 25th, 2009, 09:42 PM

So now my next question

How do you get the histogram?

Your kidding right? You really need to read this thread again if you think that especially my last post. This is what this thread tells me.

1. your jhead does not work right and I beleive I stated this like multiple times in this thread.

2. this was not a photopost issue.

That is what this thread tells me.

Photopost only supports jhead to extract exif as I plainly stated. I merely gave you another way to do it using the buggy php function exif_read_data. We do not use that php function since it has been linked for years to exploits etc. I even told you there will not be support for that little thing I posted.

Chuck you haven´t read my post #30

Chuck S · September 26th, 2009, 09:08 AM

KlausM · September 29th, 2009, 04:50 AM
