IPTC data is information you may have added with a photo manipulation program like Photoshop.
Exif data is meta information added by the camara software at the moment the photo is taken.
Please be aware of the fact that: when you resize a photo with a simple resizing program before uploading, it is most likely that the IPTC and EXIF meta data is lost. Also, when you make WPPA+ resize the photos during upload, the data is no longer inside the photofile when it is saved inside the wppa+ system.
When you import or upload photos, and they contain EXIF and/or IPTC meat data, this data is saved inside the wppa+ system is seperate database tables.
When you configure the IPTC and EXIF tables in the Settings screen (Table X and XI), and swtch the display of the IPTC and EXIF boxes on (Table II-28 and 29), you will find the two boxes below the slideshow. The items to be displayed are settable in the Settings screen. Display means display the item if the item was originally in the photo, Optional is currently the same as display, it is reserved for future use, Hide means: do not display this item.
You can use the IPTC and EXIF meta information in the photo description box. The tagnames, like 2#120 (IPTC: Caption) and E#829D (EXIF:F number) may be used in the photo description field. They act like shortcodes and will automaticly be replaced by its (properly formatted) value.
Now it is time for an example:
Place this code in the description field:
2#120<br />
<a href="javascript://" onClick="jQuery('.wppa-dtl').css('display', 'block'); jQuery('.wppa-more').css('display', 'none');">
<div class="wppa-more">
Camara info
</div>
</a>
<a href="javascript://" onClick="jQuery('.wppa-dtl').css('display', 'none'); jQuery('.wppa-more').css('display', 'block');">
<div class="wppa-dtl" style="display:none;" >
Hide Camera info
</div>
</a>
<div class="wppa-dtl" style="display:none;">
<br />
<style>
.wppa-label { padding: 0 3px !important; border: none !important; }
.wppa-value { padding: 0 3px 0 12px !important; border:none !important; }
</style>
<table style="margin:0; border:none;" >
<tr><td class="wppa-label" >Date Time</td><td class="wppa-value" >E#0132</td></tr>
<tr><td class="wppa-label" >Photographer</td><td class="wppa-value" >E#013B</td></tr>
<tr><td class="wppa-label" >Copyright</td><td class="wppa-value" >E#8298</td></tr>
<tr><td class="wppa-label" >Location</td><td class="wppa-value" >2#092, 2#090, 2#095, 2#101</td></tr>
<tr><td class="wppa-label" >Camera</td><td class="wppa-value" >E#0110</td></tr>
<tr><td class="wppa-label" >Focal length</td><td class="wppa-value" >E#920A</td></tr>

<tr><td class="wppa-label" >ISO Speed Rating</td><td class="wppa-value" >E#8827</td></tr>
<tr><td class="wppa-label" >Exposure bias</td><td class="wppa-value" >E#9204</td></tr>
<tr><td class="wppa-label" >Exposure program</td><td class="wppa-value" >E#8822</td></tr>

</div>
And see what happens with the description box:
