Span — thanks. Didn’t realize you were the developer. Can you provide an example of how to use this in practice, for example in an image caption? I think the functionality has been there for a while but how to use it has eluded many of us.

Great plugin; thanks for the hard work.

Cheers,
Jeremy

I took the only 3 relevant lines of code from /admin/functions.php, slightly modified them, stuck them in gallery.php where the image caption is created.

New code added to gallery.php (in the “<!–Thumbnails–>” section):

require_once(NGGALLERY_ABSPATH . '/lib/meta.php');
$meta = array();
$pdata = new nggMeta($image->path);

Then you can append meta data to the $image->description. For example: $newdesc = $image->description . $pdata->get_date_time().

Full write-up including appending the image description and EXIF data to the caption in ThickBox is available here: https://j.modjeska.us/?p=113
