module 'Exif Data' and php8

[tlahuizcalpantecutli]

I am not sure if the vision of the revival team and of this group include care of third party modules as well, but in case of interest, the 'Exif Data' module failed in my php8 installation due to a php5/php8 incompatibility: use of strings as numbers which was allowed in php5, frowned upon but still permitted in php7, but verboten in php8.

Not having experience or vocation to investigate the source code deeply, I just applied a patch recommended in the internet at the point of failure: placed "(int)" in front of the string reference, and it worked, at least in this case.  Probably similar failures lurk ahead, but for now, we survived to keep flying another day, like Cpt. Reynolds and his Firefly.

Best,

Thanks for the heads up. Brad and others what they can with old modules to get them working in the PHP 7 to 8 environment -- which sometimes isn't much -- but we do need to know when something goes boing.

Which exif module is this exactly? The bundled one or an addon module? If it's an addon module can you provide a link to it? I've tried to keep any modules up to date with PHP syntax changes, this is the list of modules I'm working from:

As before (dupcheck case), I would not know where to download this module from.  Attached please find the zipped folder, which I believe is an add-on, not sure.

Page Admin/Modules states:

"Exif Data, version 1, Extract Exif data and display it on photo pages."

In case you dig in it, please be aware that I added "(int)" in front of "$data/100" about midways of line 232 in "/usr/share/gallery3-3.1.5/modules/exif/lib/makers/nikon.php"... which worked because the Lord is very generous with me.  You may want to start by deleting my patch, to have a fresh copy.

Best,

That's the built in exif module. I copied your changed into gallery.
