weeklypicphp

German Version of this README.

A simple PHP script to scale a JPG image to the right proportions and set EXIF data for our Weeklypic.de community.

Features

• Scale picture to 2000px (longest side)
• Setting EXIF data for
  • title
  • description (= weekliy-pic-username / title)
  • creator
  • license
• Show table of existing/required/new EXIF parameters
• Storing the parameters weekly-pic-username, creator and license in a cookie for convenience, if requested
• Choose between weekly and monthly pic
• Preset week and month numbers for filename (but changeable)
• Automatic generation of valid weekly-pic filename
• Direct upload of picture to upload.weeklypic.de
• Mobile-friendly layout
• Call up a map with the GPS coordinates of the image (if available)

Roadmap

• Fixing incorrect EXIF data after exporting from Darktable (see "Known Problems")
• Check the date, on which the picture was taken, against the week or month

Hint

Not only EXIF tags are stored in Pictures, but also IPTC, GPS and other tags. Whenever we say/write EXIF we generally mean also all the other tags.

So, for example, if you want to change the artist, the following tags are affected:

• EXIF:Artist
• IPTC:by-line
• XMP:creator

Setup

1. Prerequisites
   • PHP 7.*
   • imagemagick
   • EXIFtool
   • curl
2. Copy this repo to your http folder.
3. Check src/config.php and adapt to your needs.
4. In _log directory copy htaccess file to .htaccess.
5. In src directory copy htaccess file to .htaccess.
6. Create src/config.config file and fill it at least with server and login for upload functionality (see src/config.php for more information).

Known Problems

• Darktable EXIF data probably wrong.
  • It seems, that data exported from Darktable will result in an Error = Bad format (0) for IFD0 entry 0 when processed with exiftool. In this case the picture can't be processed and the program stops. I'm working on a solution, that in this and similar cases the EXIF data will be rewritten correctly.
• It may be incorrectly displayed that GPS data is present even though it has been deleted because a GPS version ID is still present. However, geodata has been deleted.
