Hi Folks

I've just noticed that the EXIF data is not displaying on new and existing images in posts.

Thanks!

Yes, we are having some issues with plugins on the site. The EXIF plugin is not working and there are some plugin interactions that are causing the gallery on the front page to not work either. We are looking into it. In the meantime, browser plugins for displaying EXIF continue to work, so hopefully that’s an acceptable workaround while we figure things out. Apologies for the inconvenience.
 
Dennis, and everyone,

The EXIF add-on is working now. Please use the "attach" method to upload your image to the server. You can attach you image (as most of you know already) by using the icon to the right of the smiley in the row of buttons above the text box. Please see screen grab below.

I am looking into extending this capability to hotlinked (embedded) images.

Just to update everyone, we had a problem with the site where we had to reinstall the EXIF add-on. So, for now, the add-on only works for images that are newly added and not for the images that are already on the site. I am looking into how to fix that.
 
Hey guys, can you do me a favor? Can you upload some images using whatever method you have used in the past that has had the EXIF data show up under the image? I want to make sure what kinds of uploads it works for and what kinds it doesn't. Thanks.

Sam, go to Tools > Rebuild Caches and scroll down to the EXIF tool. That will restore the EXIF on all previously posted images as well.

I put this one yesterday in the "Not food exactly" thread in Food. EXIF data do not appear for that post as of now. I used the "attach" method as described in your Post #4 above. I'll do the same here:

Sorry for the delay, folks. The add-on had to be updated to address some errors and then, It took half a day for the cache rebuilding to finish, but we are finally done and all the photos that were uploaded should have exif displaying.

Why the add-on disappeared and had to be reinstalled is a mystery. Software systems in my experience don’t spontaneously uninstall parts of themselves. That’s a problem for another day though.

Let us know of any unexpected behavior with the forum software. Thanks!
