Add-on Paid request: addon to show EXIF information of attachments in an image overlay

[Amin Sabet]

My sites are photography forums, eg mu-43.com and nikoncafe.com

I'd like a XF1.x addon which shows specific EXIF information for forum image attachments in a small overlay over the image like this blue bar overlay:



Only I'd want the overlay to be gray rather than blue and located at the bottom of the image instead of the top. It should be an overlay only and not modify the attachment file itself in any way.

Also, I'd only want to show the camera model, focal length, shutter speed, and ISO; so for the example above it would read "Canon EOS-1D X | 70mm F2.8 1/80 ISO4000" and omit the rest of the information shown.

I'd also need it to have usergroup permissions so that one usergroup could opt out of seeing the overlay.

Please let me know your terms if you have any interest in doing this project for me. I am not looking for exclusive rights to the addon.

I'm still looking for help with this. But rather than an overlay, I'd like the information to be shown in a caption underneath the image.

I found a site that uses a script-driven solution like the one I am seeking: https://diglloyd.com/articles/guides-howto/why-EXIF-differs.html

It looks like this might do what I need if someone can implement it in an addon?

Here is an example of how another forum does it. I like their minimalist approach to showing only the core information, all on one line (camera model ILCE-9, lens E 28-75 F2.8-2.8, focal length 56mm, aperture f/2.8, shutter speed 1/125s, ISO 5000, exposure comp +0.3 EV):

@sonnb’s gallery does this in a sidebar when the light box is open

Does it do this for regular attachments?

I think just gallery attachments. I was always under the impression EXIF data is stripped for normal attachments, there’s probably a way to disable that though.

EXIF is stripped for normal attachments if they are resized. I edit a core file to prevent that from happening: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/preserve-exif-info-in-attachments-imagemagick.122240/

I need this too. It seems that the hack in the IM file does not work with XF 2.2.13.

Is someone interested to write a code for this? I would pay for this, if the price is reasonable.
