Photographer Name on Photos
Posted:

Bonjour,
I'm using the Tiger skin.
I'd like to display the photographer's name directly on the photos on my album. Ideally, this name could be extracted directly from the `right` or `creator` field in the metadata.
I've tested various methods, but none have given me the desired result.
- In the effects options, I've tried several things, entering the parameters `$photographer`, `$writer`, `$author`, or `$copyright` after verifying that this data was well present in the EXIF data of the photos. Without success. However, if I use the `$fileDate` parameter, the photo's creation date is displayed correctly !
Similarly, if I use a filter:
class=TextFilter text="$fileDate" referenceWidth=800 size=20 style="bolditalic" color=#0900FF closeups
the date displays correctly, But not anything if I use $photographer, etc...
Could someone point me towards a solution. I'm completely lost.
Thanks in advance. |

The following meta fields are present in jAlbum as simple variables: ${author}, ${creator}, ${copyright}, but not all of them. Tiger skin has a specific feature for accessing meta variables using the ${meta.variableName} formula, e.g. ${meta.photographer}. Try that. Also, note that the simple $variableName format is deprecated and not supported in every case, so always use the curly brackets.

Thanks Laza.
I'll try that. I'll let you know the results...

After few unsuccessful tests, I finally found the solution : Simply update JAlbum !
No problème with the last version 39.4.1 (I used version 31.1 !)
However, the parameters must be entered in the form $copyright, $fileDate, etc.. The forms ${copyright} or ${fileDate} do not work.

In Laza's skin settings, like for use in a caption, for example, the newer ${variable} form has to be used.
But the old filters, which are part of the jAlbum core, still use the old form, without the curly braces. These should be updated, but that might break a lot of existing albums, so it's a tough decision to make! |

Why not use a simple replace when relaying it to the filters to unpack the variable names? That would not break old albums.

I’ll leave that to David. That whole area needs attention. The Effects filters should be able to tap into any metadata field, like ${Iptc.By-line}.
