Is this feasible: Extract geolocation data from images?

  • Is this feasible in Nodebb, to extract the geolocation information from an image that is attached to a post? My desire is to have the location data presented in the post along with the image. Possibly the data could be presented as a link to a map of that location or even to an embedded map image that could be manipulated. Zoomed, moved, etc.

    Thank you.

  • If the image contains that sort of EXIF data... then yes, it is possible. Whether or not there is a library to parse such information from the image, is a different question 😄

  • I may commission the Nodebb team for this work. I have been in contact with @julian regarding it.

    Only image sizer not touching compression algorithms. NodeBB uses sharp module which is capable to do it (reduce file size).

    I was wondering if there was any way or plugin to assign images as group badges instead? Similar to the example in this thread. https://community.nodebb.org/topic/13021/badge-like-plugin-for-forum-patrons

    Make sure you have a good reason for doing this. Someone may remove a plugin and reinstall it at a later date, and still want their old settings. Right now this is how it works by default.

    @yariplus said: Actually, yes. That is something I've been wanting to do. I jumped into NodeBB development as a total newbie to Javascript, so I probably have a good perspective for beginners. I have some formal education in technical writing as well. Please do this! We need more tutorials and technical guides. I've been trying to immerse myself more in the source and writing plugins so I can write some stuff for the community.
