Good to know I’m not the only one with the same problem. Want to do the same what Jamie has on his blog, for each photo show the exif data on mouse over. The html and css part to do so is not a problem. Like you already wrote, the problem is to add the exif data into the gallery shortcode, so the data gets pulled for the entire gallery.
I’ve been checking the media.php file and some post how to rewrite the output for the gallery shortcode, but had no luck so far figuring out what to do. Tried some things to add to the function.php file but, i don’t understand that much what to do. All I know where the code should go…
<{$icontag} class='gallery-icon'>
$link
EXIF INFO HERE
</{$icontag}>"
....
<{$captiontag} class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>
" . wptexturize($attachment->post_excerpt) . "
EXIF INFO HERE
</{$captiontag}>";
For the mouse over it should be the gallery-icon and for the caption the galler-caption part.
Would be great if this would work
