Phoca Forum

Hello.

When importing images, I need to record in the mysql tables database, some informations such as tags or description from the EXIF / IPTC tags of each picture.

But, of course, I don't want to hack the phoca gallery code.
So I need to develop a plugin for phocagallery.

Is-it defined, in the phoca gallery component, events (as defined in joomla) such as "onBeforePictureSave" that would allow me to make this kind of plugin ?

Regards.

Hi, no for now there are no events

Jan

Thanks for your repply Jan.

Do you think that it's possible to have some important events for having possibility like describe in my post header ?

I don't want to hack Phoca code.

So if you said no, i prefer to make a little component, that modify the table of phoca, after pictures integration, for filling with the good informations.

Regards.

Hi, I have added it to feature request list, but really no idea when I will find time to look at this (this can take a lot of time )

Thanks Jan, I thinks that this will be very interesting for extending the capacity of your very good components.

If i can...
...I suggest to make the same in Phoca Download.

For exemple an event when uploading a new file to the server before writing in the db table
(for exemple for making a plugin for copying file to preview for having the ability to directly display a pdf for exemple).

A small "up" Jan, for having events in your components...
...and to give the abalility to extend them with plugins.
