Usage of EXIF data for fast gallery module on Drupal
|
For those of you have been using the fast gallery module, i reckon you know what's the purpose of EXIF data. It is primarily being used to display image caption and title display for custom folder thumbnail. You can customize how the EXIF data would be displayed through Fast Gallery setting depicted below:
Meanwhile, the screenshots below are the actual result of using EXIF data:
- Title display for Custom folder thumbnail using EXIF data
- Image caption using EXIF data
There are plenty of EXIF editors available out there for free, personally i would strongly recommended the EXIF Manager, it is simple and easy to use for starter as opposed to other EXIF editors. With EXIF Manager, you can modify information of a picture such as its image description, user comment, artist, and date. Bear in mind, only .JPG picture has the EXIF data.

Embed Google Map into your Drupal's contact form
|
This article on adding a google map to Drupal's contact form is based on Norio's blog, however i shall attempt to create my own version as a backup tutorial, plus adding extra notes for those users having difficulties to embed the map.
1. Download and install the GMap module.
2. Go to your admin modules page and activate the contact, gmap and gmap macro builder module as depicted below:
3. Request a Google Map API Key, afterwards paste the key to your GMap config page and save the configuration.
4. Go to your input formats config, then configure the Full HTML "input format", and tick on "GMap macro expander" on "Filters" tab, failure to do so will output the GMap macro text instead of the actual Google Map.
5. Start designing your own map using the "Build a GMap Macro" located under admin "site configuration".
6. After finished, copy and paste the GMap generated macro text to site-wide contact form setting ("Additional Information" field under "Settings" tab).

Access denied: not authorized to access this page on Drupal forum
|
I have had this issue with Drupal forum, specifically with Advanced Forum module & Forum access module. I keep getting this access denied: you are not authorized to access this page whenever i'm accessing one of my forum section IF i'm not login as an administrator (user id #1). My guess would be a permission problem either on forum access module and/or user permission depicted as below:
From the above, both anonymous user & authenticated user should be able to view the forum, but the fact is the contrary. So, why only the user id #1 can access the forum while other cannot, that's odd. The main problem lies on the bug within forum access module.
After ticked off the anonymous user and press save, then tick on anonymous user again and press save. Both anonymous & authenticated user can access the forum without any permission issue. My conclusion would be the forum access permission isn't being saved properly. Therefore, i posted this article as my personal reference in case such event occured again, so next time i won't get a headache.
