still confused about Publisher meta data outlets

I have read, and reread the Page on meta data tokens.
I can't get it to work....I have  screen captures if desired.
a) In "Publisher Setup" Metadata Outlets I have
Title  box: {Title}
  Caption box: {Caption}
  Metadata 1: {Month|month} {Date|date}, {YYYY|yyyy}
  Metadata 2: {Exposure}, {ISO}, {Lens}
The web display in LR has all of the correct info.

Issues with Published gallery
I update the gallery template, save it, export it , upload it to templates, update galleries, mod or mark for republishing a gallery and publish:
1)  Title & Caption do not appear on thumbnails
2) Date is always todays date, and not the picture date
3) Exposure info is missing ISO & Lens information which is in the definition.

---
I would appreciate guidance.

Thanks,
:-)

2)there is no ISO, nor Lens information in the thumbnails

Re: still confused about Publisher meta data outlets

Hi Patrick, thanks for the link.

1) You're using {month} {date}, {yyyy} for the date.  Those tokens produce information from the current date, i.e. the date that the publishing is done.  For the capture date, use {Month} {Date}, {YYYY} instead.

2) Your metadata settings don't include references to ISO or Lens information.  There is {ShutterSpeed} at {Aperture}, but that's about it.  Where are you expecting lens and ISO information to appear?

FYI, the metadata tokens that Publisher is using can be viewed at either http://patricklynchphotography.com/ttg- … /setup.xml or http://www.patricklynchphotography.com/ … Lake/?data

Re: still confused about Publisher meta data outlets

Hum,
Using the same publisher template (though it would appear the results say otherwise) I published a "night" photo album and it all worked.  I was somewhat startled that it worked as expected.....

Do I just need to delete this album and start over?  With Publisher it is now dead easy to do.

Re: still confused about Publisher meta data outlets

Hi Patrick, that's one way.  Alternatively, if you select all of the photos to republish and click Publish, then any changes to the required metadata should come through.  This can be sped up by de-selecting the Publisher setting 'Push metadata without updating existing photos'.
