extract image meta data

Rhythmyx Technical Discussion
1

I’m uploading an image (JPG/GIF) that has content stored in the meta data of the image. Is there a way to extract the meta data content and populate Rhythmyx fields?

I’m using 6.5.2.

You should be able to extract meta data such as the image height, width, type, extension, and filename by using the sys_imageInfoExtractor() Extension. You should add the extension on the Pre-Processing tab, which is on the main Properties tab.

The fields in your editor will need to have the correct suffixes. For example,
if you have a field called image (that has the sys_file control) then your meta data fields would be called image_filename, image_ext, image_height, image_width,and image_type .

The meta data fields should be set as hidden inputs.

Hope this helps.
