I see some strange characters in the part you edited. Try another text editor, ie BBEdit.

Jan is right. If you are on a mac there is no better editor than BBEdit. They have a demo available - or if you can live without code coloring and other gimmicks they have a Lite version that is free - see here for more info. With BBEdit you can just open the file and let it display the line numbers for you.

cheers,
Bernd

Same error even using BBEdit...

Hello Jan:

Thanks for the file.
I tried it out and didn't get the error but it didn't work as a couple of other issues arose.
It's still not adding the IPTC info from the images into the Description field.
And when I check new images it's not showing the thumbnails I've uploaded along with the media files. I FTP'd directly into their respected folders like always, but no thumbs.
I tried it twice just to make sure it wasn't something I was doing.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Rob

Does anyone else on this forum use IPTC (Photoshop "File Info") for adding
caption/keywords to their images?
I've tried Jan's code but it still doesn't copy the caption field into the description field.
I figured out why the thumbs weren't showing up, but still would like to nail down this other issue. It would make things so much easier to have this data automatically copy over.
I'd like to do the same for the IPTC keywords to Description keywords but for now, I'd settle just the caption info.
I'm using 1.7.
I understand others have gotten it to work in 1.6 but I'd really like to know if it's possible under 1.7 before having to downgrade.
Here is the new checkimages.php code that Jan sent me. If anyone can test this or has gotten it to work, please let me know.
Thanks
Rob

File: checkimages.php
Replace (line309):

$title = $lang['field_description_ext'].((isset($file_src)) ? get_iptc_insert_link($file_src, "caption", "image_description_".$i) : "");
      show_textarea_row($title, "image_description_".$i, "", $textarea_size);

With:

$title = $lang['field_description_ext'].((isset($file_src)) ? get_iptc_insert_link($file_src, "caption", "image_description_".$i) : "");
      $caption = "";
      if ($imageinfo = @getimagesize($file_src, $info)) {
        if (isset($info['APP13'])) {
          $iptc = iptcparse($info['APP13']);
          if (is_array($iptc)) {
            $caption = (isset($iptc['2#120'][0])) ? $iptc['2#120'][0] : "";
            foreach ($iptc['2#025'] as $val) {
              $caption .= (($caption != "" ) ? " " : "").$val;
            }  
          }
        }
      }
      show_textarea_row($title, "image_description_".$i, $caption, $textarea_size);

Did you used the "detailed version" while adding new images? The description field must be visible.

Jan:

It worked!
Thanks for your patience on this.
Now can I get the keywords and date created fields to automatically populate by using the same code, but replacing the IPTC code numbers with #025 and #055 in checkimages.php file under their respected lines of code? It does work manually using the IPTC button. I just have to reload 800 images and need it done automatically.
Thanks again!

Yes, this should work.

Hello again:

Two questions:

I've got the keywords importing fine.
The "date created", however, copies over twice into the "Description" date field.
What part of the code below do I have to remove so only one date imports?
Also to get all this updated information into the catagory databases do I have to delete all the images and categories and start over or is there another way?
When I delete the thumbs/previews, reload them and checkimages they don't show up. They're still show as already in the database. I tried re-indexing after deleting but that didn't help.

Date created code (checkimages.php):

$date = "";
      if ($imageinfo = @getimagesize($file_src, $info)) {
        if (isset($info['APP13'])) {
          $iptc = iptcparse($info['APP13']);
          if (is_array($iptc)) {
            $date = (isset($iptc['2#055'][0])) ? $iptc['2#055'][0] : "";
            foreach ($iptc['2#055'] as $val) {
              $date .= (($date != "" ) ? " " : "").$val;
            }  
          }
        }
      }
      show_input_row($title, "image_date_".$i, $date, $textinput_size);

Thanks

I figured out the date duplication issue.
Still don't know about the second one...

No, sorry.

When I delete the thumbs/previews, reload them and checkimages they don't show up. They're still show as already in the database. I tried re-indexing after deleting but that didn't help.

"Check new images" only checks for really new images (main file and thumbnail). You have to remove the whole image entry first.
