Show IPTC Information in title- and captiontext was created by fabio pajalunga
Hi Joomlaworks-Community
I recently bought the pro extension because I work a lot with the K2 extension. Pretty nice extension, but something important was missing ...
IPTC support!
Very disapointing, especially if users are asking for it since 2008 - so I made it myself.
I know it's probably not the best solution but it works for me - I'm only the paying customer and normally this shouldn't be my task.
Greetings Fabio Pajalunga
Here is a short tutorial
Warning 1 You will overwrite parts of the extension - after the changes you won't be able to switch to "show generic messages" in sigpro!
Warning 2 Performing extension updates will probably overwrite the changes.
1. Open the language file located in administrator folder, we're changing the dropdown value in backend (see screen 1 below)
PATH administrator/language/en-GB/en-GB.plg_content_jw_sigpro.ini
Find this:replace it with:save & close
2. Open the PHP file with an editor, we're implementing the IPTC functionality
PATH plugins/content/jw_sigpro/jw_sigpro/includes/helper.php
Find this (~line 200):Replace it with:
3. Go to the sig pro configuration in your joomla backend plugins and switch the default caption labeling to IPTC
4. enjoy your frontend!
