Exif is a +specification for the image file format used by digital cameras. + +The metadata tags defined in the Exif standard cover a broad spectrum including [1]: + + * Date and time information. Digital cameras will record the current date and + time and save this in the metadata. + * Camera settings. This includes static information such as the camera model + and make, and information that varies with each image such as orientation, + aperture, shutter speed, focal length, metering mode, and film speed + information. + * Location information, which could come from a GPS receiver connected to the + camera. + * Descriptions and copyright information. + +Administrators can choose via CCK fields which Exif information are read. + +At this time, this module supports Exif information only with JPEG files. + +[1] Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchangeable_image_file_format + + +Requirements and Constraints +**************************** + +CCK with at least textfields enabled. +If you use a module like imagefield. It's only possible to have one image per node!! +If there are more than one images per node, only the exif data of one image is read! + +IMPORTANT: If you are using imagefield, do not call the content type "image"!!! Image +is reserved for using the Image module. If you call your content type image and you are +using imagefield, the module is not going to work. + + +Usage +************ + +After installing it you can go to your CCK nodetype. It supports both the image module +aswell as the imagefield module. Let's say you have an content type "photo". Go to your +cck settings and add a new field. For the name of the field you need to follow the following +naming conventions: + +Example: +#1 field_exif_exposuretime -> this would read the ExposureTime of the image and save it +in this field. + +#2 field_ifd0_datetime -> this would read the date time (2009:01:23 08:52:43) of the image. +as a field_type you can take for example a normal textfield, but also a date field would be +possible. + +General rule is: [field]_[section]_[name] + +Under admin/settings/exif you can see a list of all possible information. These informations +are taken from the image "sample.jpg". I may not contain all tags available. If you are looking +for some specific tags you can just replace this image with your own image. \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
