EXIF Not Supported

I think for the 3.3 version we should give the user a configuration option to turn of exif usage.

Line 724:
$dirs = glob($path.'*', GLOB_MARK | GLOB_ONLYDIR);
foreach ($dirs as $dir) {
$files[] = $this->exploreDir($dir, TRUE);
}

It seems as if your provider doesn't support the glob function (http://de.php.net/glob):
Hinweis: This function isn't available on some systems (e.g. old Sun OS).
Hinweis: The GLOB_BRACE flag is not available on some non GNU systems, like Solaris.

I would ask your provider about this issue

Got the same problem … i asked my provider about the glob function but there's no problem with the proberties so it thought me that the problem is locatable in de code …

Is there the possibility to delete these codelines because in some ways there not necessary:"// Recurse through subdirectories if necessary" …

oky. In the latest 3.3 beta version there is the possibility to switch off the exif support.

ButchC. I provided a little fix for this error. Check out the latest dev version.

If you can edit your php.ini file, then the way that I was able to fix this was by opening it up and making sure that php_exif was enabled and that php_mbstring was listed before php_exif so that it was loaded first.

I just had another thought (I don't know what fix you made in the dev branch). Perhaps you should just insert into the fast_gallery_exif table empty strings for each exif value if exif is not supported. This would eliminate a lot of people's problems. You could then output an error saying that EXIF values were not exported. Just a thought.

the latest version has actually a flag to deactivate exif function... it's though not testet yet.

I take it you updated all of the queries too then? That was the big issue is that there are joins to the fast_gallery_exif table which is empty, so there are no results returned when you go to check out the gallery.

going to close this issue, as this version is not supported anymore and the issue is old
