Fill location information on GPS Exif tags

Do you think you could make a version of your patch that's in line with the drupal patch guidelines?

Marked #363894: Fill location information on GPS Exif tags V6 as a duplicate.

can somebody help me on this? I'm working on the D6 branch -> the feature to integrate Coords into CCK. It's actually pretty simple, but: I don't know how to intepret the data:

the exif comes out as an array:
#
value (Array, 3 elements)

* 0 (String, 4 characters ) 49/1
* 1 (String, 4 characters ) 44/1
* 2 (String, 19 characters ) 2147483631/82532375

This is just the latitute. How do I have to put this together in order to make real coords?

Plus. Location CCK: In which way do the coords have to be entered? Please provide an example. I'll then make sure to get that in.

great news raintonr. waiting patiently

applied a patch to head. let's get this one here moving on next. Anybody willing to volonteer for a patch? I'm more than welcome to apply it.

Hi Rapsli,

Works only for me if I prepend "gps_" to "gpslatitude" and "gps_gpslongitude" in lines 240 and 243 respectively.

    if ($key == 'gps_gpslatitude') {
      $value = _exif_DMS2D($value, $data['gpslatituderef']);
    } 
    elseif ($key == 'gps_gpslongitude') {
      $value = _exif_DMS2D($value, $data['gpslongituderef']);
    } 

let me have a look at this next week when there's more time.

I tried the code in #20. Worked like a charm.

How did you do it? What fields do you have to add, and what else has to be done? I just can't get it to work...

The problem is that, currently, you have to account for a few different issues:

1) The $op in hook_nodeapi that should handle the storage of EXIF information in the $node object. IMO, this should be "presave".
2) The correct key usage in the function _exif_reformat(): "gps_gpslatitude" and "gps_gpslongitude" instead of "gps_latitude" and "gps_longitude".
3) The correct execution order of anything in hook_nodeapi() in exif_location module relative to the code in (1) above.

It isn't that complicated, but it requires a few hacks in Exif module.

I want to work on this, but I have no idea of the latest code status for Exif module. It seems dispersed.

@rapsli: are you willing to make a new release soon that incorporates al these changes?

this is still experimental, as I didn't get around testing it. Just had a brief look at it. Let's find out, how well the community is working. It's committed to HEAD.

committed this to 6.1 branch.

I try to use the "Exif Location" Sub-Module.
The Location Module is installed and coordinate input is activated for the nodetype. While creating the node I can see the lat and lon fields. In Exif-Module settings the nodetype is active too.
But after uploading a picture with GPS data, the coordinate is not in the Location module. Do I have to create additional CCK fields? Forgotten settings?

Can anybody give me a How-To of bringing GPS data from the filefield picture to the location field via "Exif Location"?

If I understand that and it works here, I can write a README for the "Exif Location" Sub-Module.

my solution:
vi "exif/exif.class.php"

goto line 77 nearby, replace:

if ($tagName['section'] != 'iptc') {

with:

      if ($tagName['section'] == 'gps') {
        $info[$tagName['section'] .'_'. $tagName['tag']] = $arSmallExif[$tagName['tag']];
      }
      elseif ($tagName['section'] != 'iptc') {

finished. it works!

addtionally, for the photo without gps information, it would display warnning! so
modify the exif.module, line 282

function _exif_DMS2D($value, $ref) {
  if (!$value) {
    return 0;
  }
