I am trying to import iptc_keywords as taxonomy terms but it looks like all keywords are added as 1 term. I tried different setting and both the beta3 and dev version of this module, but it doesn't seem to work.

@fuse
can I ask you how do you succeed to populate vocabulary terms? (even with the issue of 1 "big" term).

I think I have all the correct settings:

  • field name:"field_iptc_keywords"
  • field: "Term reference"
  • widget: "metadata from image"
  • my jpg images have keywords (used irfanview to populate keywords and keywords are still there if I download my uploaded images from the nodes. So I'm sure that image files contain iptc data)
  • in manage display (I'm using Display Suite and all other exif fields show up), my field_iptc_keywords is set to display "link"

However my keywords do not show up in node and the vocabulary is not filled (not even as 1 big term). So I think I'm missing something.
thanks

In the admin page of the exif module, did you activate exif on the content type you are using ?

@jphautin: yes. Content type was activated. Thanks.
I think I found my error. In the "iptc keywords" field settings I missed to select a parent term. Now I have "keywords" as the parent term and the items populate.

@fuse: for "taxonomy terms added as 1 big term". I do not know if this can help you:
I had the same problem but I noticed that I was putting all my terms on an single line in the keywords area of my jpg file. When I wrote each term on a new line of the textarea, then the terms populated as different items.
Hope that can be useful for someone.

Sorry for the late feedback.

I am building an image library for photography purposes. My keywords are added through Adobe Lightroom when importing, so I don't have any control over how they are added. Since Lightroom is specially designed for metatagging/exif information I assume that they add them the correct way: keywords separated by a comma.

This issue cannot be closed yet.

Hello,

I'am also using comma separated value in keywords and it works for me. Can you upload image with Lightroom metadata so I can test and found what is the issue.

regards,

keywords are not placed comma seperated in exif ( A,B,C) but like this:

<dc:subject> 
 <rdf:Bag>
   <rdf:li>A</rdf:li> 
   <rdf:li>B</rdf:li> 
   <rdf:li>C</rdf:li> 
 </rdf:Bag> 
</dc:subject>

There is also an hierarchical version in <lr:hierarchicalSubject>

It should not matter what programme is used for the tagging.
I tried with exif from lightroom, Adobe Bridge, geosetter. All working.
I use 7.x-1.x-dev with taxonomy patch: http://drupal.org/node/973328

I can confirm that latest dev version with the taxonomy patch works.
