Thanks for all the hard work on Floatbox. The best alternative I have found after a lot of searching around.

Anyone yet able to pull exif from an image and show in the infobox? I have exif module enabled in PHP and I thought I could use PHP exif functions, but so far no luck with my hacking.

Basically just want to have an "EXIF" info link on each of my images that opens the secondary window with EXIF from the currently displayed image.

I was trying to use php exif functions I found on this site as a reference.

If I can get something close, you will see it here: http://dave.jp/nggallery/page-1224/album-3/gallery-7

Great photos. Very nice.

I can't (well, won't really) help you with the php backend to pull and present the exif information, but I would like to suggest that floatbox's "Info..." capability is perfect for displaying the pulled exif data. This is explained in this section of the docs.

Now all you need is the server-side code to deliver the exif content.

Thanks for the reply. I finally decided to go with a making changes to functions.php in nextgen gallery to send the metadata to description field for floatbox. It's all automated and the fields are populated when images upload or when I click import in that nextgen wp plugin. cool.

BTW, I only did find one case of a good example of using a js to gather the exif data in a js viewer. client browser side stuff by Jacob Seidelin http://blog.nihilogic.dk/2008/05/reading-exif-data-with-javascript.html

Thanks again. Lovin floatbox.
