Statamic CMS - Metadata Import

Read EXIF and IPTC metadata when uploading an image to Statamic.

Installation

Require the addon as a Composer dependency.

composer require heidkaemper/statamic-import-image-metadata 

Add a new field to your Asset Container Blueprint. A text field with the handle copyright would be a good start.

Import a JPG or TIFF image that contains metadata. ????

Configuration

The default configuration imports metadata for title, copyright and source if the corresponding fields exist in the blueprint.

To change this, you can publish the configuration.

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="import-image-metadata-config" 

Have a look at the configuration file for details.

Metadata tags

Most common EXIF and IPTC tags should be available. Check these resources:

• Most common EXIF tags
• Most common IPTC tags

A specialty of iptcparse in PHP is that the IPTC tags are addressed via the code and are therefore not very human readable. For example, 2#116 would be the copyright field.

To make the configuration a little easier, this plugin maps the most important IPTC tags to more readable titles. However, the IPTC codes work too.
