Access date a picture was taken

[Simon D]

Hi,

I'm developing a blog, and want Django to automatically store the date a picture was taken in the database. Is there a way to do this is Django?

I found something like Github which would have this option I think, but it comes with a lot of other stuff I don't need. Is there a simple way, without having to install anything?

Thanks in advance,

Simon

You can do it via de PIL library, which you need to have installed for using images in Django. Take a look to the approved answer in this SO question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4764932/in-python-how-do-i-read-the-exif-data-for-an-image

You can invoke the code for obtaining the date on the save() event and populate the corresponding field you want before saving the object, it's fairly straightforward :)
