How to build Geo-Tagged Galleries
FIRST Mode
Use Xnview
to add an IPTC 'Caption' to each image: it will be shown
along with each image as the main descriptive text. Do NOT use double quote
(") inside Captions: will cause Gmap jscripts to fail while centering
on the GPS coordinates (sorry!).
Download and install latest Google
Earth
Use Picasa2
to 'Add geographical label using Google Earth' (from 'Tools'
menu) to each picture you want to add to your gallery. This will add new EXIF
GPS tags to your pictures, without altering any other metadata.
Download this
template (made of some .php files and three subfolders) and upload it on your
website, renaming it with the name of your gallery.
[The template is a dynamic .php rivisitation of a static .html template provided
with Xnview]
Use Xnview to create a 'Web Album' from your local picture
repository.
Be care of keeping the deafault "t_" prefix for the thumbnail
file names.
Put the thumbnails created by Xnview in to the 'thumb' folder of
your online gallery and the bigger pictures in the folder named 'original'.
Make a link to the page named
thumb.php and... ...that's all!
