To add some new stuff to the Mos-Eisley Gallery, I decided to extract EXIF data and use the GPS part. Inspired by this article: https://exposingtheinvisible.org/resources/image-digging
So, I added the exiftool to the Ubuntu server running Confluence, and added 2 code parts to the code:
makeThumbs.sh
#Extract EXIF data if the file does not exist
if [ ! -f $StartDir/$dir/$pic.exif ]
then
#Extract EXIF data
exiftool -c "%.6f" $pic > $pic.exif
echo "extracting EXIF data from $pic"
fi
This little piece extracts EXIF to a file placed alongside the image.
updatePages.sh
# EXIF Support
if [ -f $MediaRoot/$Dir/$file/$image.exif ]
then
# An EXIF file exists for the Image
GPSPos=$(cat "$MediaRoot/$Dir/$file/$image.exif" | grep "GPS Position" | sed 's/GPS\ Position//g' | sed 's/://g')
Lattitude=$(echo $GPSPos | awk -F "," '{ print $1 }')
Longitude=$(echo $GPSPos | awk -F "," '{ print $2 }')
fi
....
....
echo "{me-image:path=$Dir/$file2|image=$image|group=$group|thumbsize=$ThumbSize|displaysize=$DisplaySize|lattitude=$Lattitude|longitude=$Longitude}" >> $WikiPageFile
else
echo "{me-image:path=$Dir/$file2|image=$image|group=$group|thumbsize=$ThumbSize|displaysize=$DisplaySize|lattitude=$Lattitude|longitude=$Longitude}" >> $WikiFile
This next part extracts the Lattitide and Longitude from the EXIF file, and adds the data to the "me-image" macro - the part that renders the image on the Confluence page
