Image description template applied to caption

Image description template has definitely gone south, but I love this little plugin. It has a great future in protecting the innocent downloader. It also helps you properly attribute photographers. I added a bunch of functionality to my sites using MMWW, and I write data to my own custom xmp name spaces (created with exiftool). This new xmp namespace stores all of my Flickr Creative Commons license fingerprints and valuable semantic text.

But the template mapping… When I find a solution, I will share asap as a new Github fork of MMWW. Till then, one can only hope that the OllieJones, whom I believe does not get enough praise for his efforts, will make a fix and post the update. BTY, thanks Ollie for all of the hours that went into making this plugin, and we all hope you are well.
Remember, for those who are interested, MMWW has a Github you can fork.

Some useful stuff I do with this plugin:
Firstly, I download from Flickr Commons for most of my posts. I create a file hash of the download, and archive it as a sidecar to the original photo.
Then I retrieve all of the meta via Flickr API (python) and store it in a sqlite. I write the meta to a csv (Python) formatted for exiftool, then let exiftool batch write the meta to the cc images (custom namespace I named FOG). I sometimes populate some IPTC, Dublin, CC, etc.

THEN THE GOOD PART MMWW. I Retrieve the meta on upload to Word-d-Press -using MMWW modded – and with a theme properly configured, I attribute the photo’s author, map tags, map hierarchal categories, put in the photo authors original description, map ALT text, create a custom attachment.php, etc…
Edit the descriptions to your liking and bingo, instant topics, awsome seo content, and a body of “fingerprint” meta additionally containing the original file download hash.
Much of this to keep myself out of small claims court over perfectly legal CC use…
YES, I said COURT! There is a growing branch of organized crime that preys on the innocent CC down-loader by scamming the license FROM: normal CC By- images TO: All Rights Reserved, contesting at unscrupulous agencies… Then these bums crawl the web for the old CC, find innocent users, raise hell with you, troll your site, threaten law suite, and believe me, they WILL ‘try’ extort large settlements.
Always download originals with all EXIF embedded and put them under lock and key (create a file validity hash).

This is the meta I use with MMWW (wth small mod of some retrieval arrays)
