Exif tag info: where and how?

By toniw on 16 May 2007 at 06:55 UTC

So, I took a clean install of Drupal 5.1, added the Image module (including the PEL library) and the Exif module. I enabled both, and I can upload images perfectly, they nicely show up as a node. Arrived at this point I think I'm missing some fundamental concept of Drupal: how do I get the Exif information displayed and where is it supposed to show?

Settings?

Have you been to the Administer > Site configuration > Exif settings page to select what Exif information to display?

yes, done settings

Yes, by default some fields are already checked, but any change I make there does not seem to have any effect. Should the chosen fields be displayed within the image node without me changing anything in the node itself?

Other ideas...

Normally, the fields that have been enabled in the administration settings are automatically appended to the node's body.

Make sure that:

PEL is properly installed. For example, the original directory ("pel-0.9.1") must be renamed as simply "pel" and placed into the Exif module's directory. If PEL is not properly installed you should get error messages, but your PHP configuration might be set for not showing errors or warnings.
You are viewing the full node, and not only the teaser. Exif data appears only in the full node.
Your image file actually has Exif data. :-) With actual data in those Exif tags you wish to display.
Your theme is not somehow messing too much with the node display. This is unlikely, but just in case, try with Drupal's default theme (Garland).

checked all those, still no go

Yup, PEL is installed, I'm viewing the full node, the images do have Exif data, and I am using the default theme. Like I said, it's a standard Drupal 5.1 install, with only the Image-module and the Exif-module installed. Might I be missing some access/security settings somewhere?
I will PM you the url and adminpwd. I would be very grateful if you could take a brief peek at what I am missing here...
