This module is very useful. Although filling the title and description is very important, it is not enough. My content type has additional CCK field that I would like IPTC/EXIF information to be filled while uploading.

Any suggestion on how to do that?

Thanks,

Hi,

I looked into the module and find a possible solution for my request.

At line 839 from the imagefield_import.module one can read:

  // make it easy for other modules to add data to imported nodes using
  // hook_form_alter (@see http://drupal.org/node/714550).
  foreach (array_keys($form_state_values) as $key) {
    if (!isset($node->$key)) {
      $node->$key = $form_state_values[$key];
    }
  }

So, assuming I want to add an additional field in my CCK content type I added

function addiptc_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id){
if ($form_id=='imagefield_import_form'){
	$form['iptc1']=array(
	'#type'=>'textfield',
	'#title'=>'tst',
	'#value'=>'my_name',
	);
}
}

The problem is that by doing that, it will add just one additional field and not one field for every picture. Can someone orient me?

Thanks

Sorry, I'm not jumping all over the idea of filling out additional fields at this time.
