customized display for iptc fields?

[lutz]

hello,
i would like to display the iptc-tags in a customized table, but it seems that the iptc-info is handled as a block and not as individual lines for each value.
surely, i can comment out special lines in the functions.php file, but there is no way to sort the fields or to put them separately in html-tags in the iptc_bit.html-template.
am i really right??

i don´t hope so...

Yep, you're right.  There are several places where the output is a block and we don't have the fine grain control we might wish for.

[lutz]

hmmm, ok.
i wished, i could change at least the order...

thank you for this clear answer. it´s a great pity

IPTC generates in /includes/functions.php

???
as i said it in my initial post:

surely, i can comment out special lines in the functions.php file, but there is no way to sort the fields...

because i don´t know anything about php, so i don´t know how to change the order of the fields.
it seems they will be ordered by their own "iptc code number"?

would u send me a picture with all avalable IPTC fields filled?
I got an idea how to sort them, but can not check it myself...

hi v@no,
how about your idea?  

[V@no]

hi v@no,
how about your idea?  

oopss...already forgot what was my idea....
lets think again

ok, to sort info as u want, replace in /includes/functions.php

Code: [Select]

   foreach ($iptc as $key => $val) {
      if (isset($iptc_match[$key])) {
        $iptc_info = "";
        foreach ($val as $val2) {
with this:

Code: [Select]

   foreach ($iptc_match as $key => $val) {
      if (isset($iptc[$key])) {
        $iptc_info = "";
        foreach ($iptc[$key] as $val2) {

then, just put the  $iptc_match['2#xxx'] = "blah blah"; in order u would like it to be showed.
