Add GPS Coordinates Column to WordPress Media Library [SnipSnip.pro]
<?php
/**
* Title: Add GPS Coordinates Column to WordPress Media Library (Best Version)
* Description: Extracts and displays GPS coordinates from image EXIF data in the media library table view. Robust extraction (multiple fallbacks), developer-configurable UI, admin notice, and copy-to-clipboard functionality.
* Version: 1.6.0
* Author: brandonjp.com
* Last Updated: 2025-06-08
* Blog URL: http://snipsnip.pro/880
* Requirements: WordPress 5.0+
* License: GPL v2 or later
*
* Changelog:
* 1.6.0 - Added GPS coordinate caching as post meta for major performance improvement
* 1.5.2 - Added comprehensive debugging and localhost troubleshooting capabilities
* 1.5.1 - Fixed fatal errors on localhost: proper EXIF checks, PHP compatibility, better error handling
* 1.5.0 - Fixed click-to-copy functionality: proper script dependencies, event delegation, timing fixes
* 1.4.0 - Use proven working copy-to-clipboard JS, fix map icon hover, config-driven feedback, improved reliability
* 1.3.1 - Fix click to copy bugs and add text labels to config options
* 1.3.0 - Best version: robust extraction, configurable UI, admin notice, modern JS feedback
* 1.2.0 - Simplified to reliable methods only: PHP EXIF and WordPress core
* 1.1.0 - Added multiple fallback methods
* 1.0.0 - Initial release

feat: Add comprehensive debugging and localhost troubleshooting capabilities

Version 1.5.0 β†’ 1.5.2

πŸ› Bug Fixes

  • PHP 8.0+ Compatibility: Replace str_starts_with() with substr() for broader PHP version support
  • Fatal Error Prevention: Add try-catch blocks around display_gps_column() to prevent media library breakage
  • Function Existence Checks: Add comprehensive checks for all required PHP functions before execution
    • wp_read_image_metadata() in WordPress extraction method
    • exif_read_data() in EXIF extraction methods
    • getimagesize() in getimagesize extraction method
    • shell_exec() in ExifTool availability check
  • Null Safety: Add null check for $mime_type before string operations
  • Error Handling: Add catch blocks for both Exception and Error classes to handle fatal errors gracefully

✨ New Features

  • Debug Mode: Add comprehensive debug logging system (debug_mode config option)
    • Track extraction method attempts and results
    • Log ExifTool command execution and output
    • Display debug info in admin notices
  • Testing Mode: Add test_exiftool_only config option for isolated ExifTool testing
  • Enhanced Admin Notice: Show availability status (βœ“/βœ—) for each extraction method
  • Robust Nonce Handling: Improve AJAX nonce validation with fallback options

πŸ”§ Configuration Changes

  • Enable error logging by default (log_errors: true)
  • Enable debug mode by default (debug_mode: true)
  • Add new config options for testing and debugging

πŸ₯ Error Handling Improvements

  • Silent Failure: Prevent plugin from breaking media library on errors
  • Detailed Logging: Log specific failure reasons for each extraction method
  • Method Status Tracking: Monitor which extraction methods succeed/fail
  • Authorization: Replace REST API nonce with standard capability checks for better compatibility

πŸ“ Code Quality

  • Exception Safety: Wrap all critical operations in try-catch blocks
  • Backwards Compatibility: Maintain support for older PHP versions
  • Defensive Programming: Add existence checks for all external dependencies
  • Comprehensive Debugging: Add detailed logging at every step of GPS extraction process

This update primarily focuses on making the plugin more robust in development environments and providing better diagnostic capabilities for troubleshooting GPS extraction issues.

v1.6.0 - feat: Add GPS coordinate caching system for major performance improvement

  • Implement post meta caching for GPS coordinates to eliminate repeated EXIF file parsing
  • Add cache management hooks to automatically clear cache when attachments are updated
  • Store "no GPS" flags to prevent repeated failed extractions on images without GPS data
  • Add configurable cache settings with sensible defaults (cache_gps_meta, meta_key_gps, meta_key_no_gps)
  • Update admin notices to display cache status and performance benefits
  • Maintain backward compatibility with option to disable caching

Performance impact: Dramatically reduces page load times for media library pages
with 50+ images by reading cached coordinates from database instead of parsing
files on every page load.
