RE: [Ids-devel] sort by date patch

[Oren T. <ore...@su...>]

darn it - there's a bug.  It doesn't display "next image" and "previous"
image sorted by date right.

chanage index.cgi:376

sort='.$sort.'
to
sort=".$sort."

and it should work right.

-------------------------------------------

I vote for EXIF data.  Much better idea.

If you replace the foreach loop that currently sorts in the 3 or 4 locations
around the file with this one:

        foreach my $fileName (@itemsToDisplay) {
                my($camdate,$camtime);
                my($picinfo) = image_info($fileName);
                if ((defined($picinfo->{'DateTimeOriginal'})) &&
($picinfo->{'DateTimeOriginal'} ne '0000:00:00 00:00:00')) {
                        $camdate = $picinfo->{'DateTimeOriginal'};
                        my ($date,$time) = split / /, $camdate;
                        my ($year,$month,$day) = split /:/, $date;
                        my ($hour,$min,$sec) = split /:/, $time;
                        $month--;
                        $year -= 1900;
                        $camtime =
timelocal($sec,$min,$hour,$day,$month,$year);
                        $mtime{$fileName} = $camtime;
                } else {
                        my $modTime = (stat $fileName)[9];
                        $mtime{$fileName} = $modTime;
                }
        }

it'll sort by exif date if it exists, else by mtime.

I think I should have just made this a function that each place can call...
