PhotoData formatting
Posted: 29 Jan 24, 18:38

Hi,
I would like to show some custom IPTC tags in the Photo Data display box.

Is there a tutorial which describes the syntax I can use in the text box to format the display?

I display the field-name and value, but would like to display a custom text and value. For example tag 0x028f currently displays as:
Iptc.Unknown tag (0x028f) L721

I'd like to display
Model L721
or add a line of text.

Thank-you Wolfgang

util.js (169.7 KB)

I thought this had been already implemented, but it seems this customization is only available in Plain skin.

With the attached util.js you can now add a label before a line in the Photodata template box to overwrite the default label:

Model=Iptc.Unknown tag (0x028f)

Download the attached util.js file and save it to the skin directory (Ctrl-Shift-S) / lib folder (overwriting the old one).

Laza,
that does exactly what I was looking for.
Still curious, what doe the '|' and'/' do in syntax of the default template box?
Regards, Wolfgang

The "pipe" symbol means "or." The "slash" symbol is just part of the name of the metadata field.

Copyright|Iptc.Copyright Notice|Iptc.IIM/CopyrightNotice

This means "Use Copyright or Iptc.Copyright Notice or Iptc.IIM/CopyrightNotice, whichever you find first."
