Using IPTC/Keywords to display photo's with the same keyword

08 Jan 2011, 10:25

so basicly i like to have a page where i have a overview, tekst link, to the pictures page with the same keyword(s)taken from the IPTC core keywords.

I shoot mainly sporters, there name i set into the iptc keywords. So the first page reads all names and displays them on the tekst link page.

When i click on the name i want to get a 'normal' gallery page but now only with those pictures with that IPTC/Keyword(s) name.

To build this collection could be done manually from the admin page. So when i have new pictures added i select this function for add those new ones to the collection page.

Hope u understand what i trying to see somewhere in the future.....

Where would you upload these photos in the first place though? You mean you would spread them around into different folders, and then you want one "virtual folder" that gets all images with this specific IPTC data and displays as a gallery?

Thats basiclly the idee, i understand the difficulty off it from reading all IPTC data en then collect them into a 'virtual' directory. Maybe writing it down into a xml file?

So all photo's are in there own folder. But i want to collect player A, player B ........... from all the folders into one gallery. So that is if someone want to see/buy a picture from player xx you can go to the i collect page and select there the name (created from the IPTC data.

Thanks for reply...

Your suggestion makes sense from a functional perspective, although it is a bit beyond the scope of Imagevue at the moment. First challenge would be to move Imagevue in a direction where virtual folders were possible at all. Next step would be to be able to populate a virtual folder with images based on IPTC data ...

As you may know, at the core of Imagevue is a folder-based file system, as opposed to many other galleries that use database to structure the content.
