Topic: Juicebox Gallery w/o config.xml/json?

Hello -
Is there any way to create a Juicebox gallery without having a config.xml / config.json?  My website is fully dynamic (i.e. image sets are loaded from a database, images/thumbnails stored in S3), and it would be great if I could just specify the image list as a parameter to the juicebox constructor, like this:

    new juicebox({
        containerId: 'juicebox-container',
        galleryWidth: '100%',
        galleryHeight: '100%',
        backgroundColor: '#222222',
        configUrl: '',
        images: [
            {
                imageURL: "images/20130803_100915.jpg",
                thumbURL: "thumbs/20130803_100915.jpg",
                linkTarget: "_blank",
                title: "IMG_0386",
                caption: "Caption Text"
            },
            {
                imageURL: "images/20130803_100916.jpg",
                thumbURL: "thumbs/20130803_100916.jpg",
                linkTarget: "_blank",
                title: "IMG_0386",
                caption: "Caption Text"
            },
            .... ETC...MORE IMAGES HERE ...
        ]
        });

Is this possible?  Any plans to implement this? 

Otherwise, thanks for a great gallery -- I was dreading having to write my own.  :-)

Re: Juicebox Gallery w/o config.xml/json?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to include image data in a gallery's embedding code.
Currently, every Juicebox gallery must have a separate JSON or XML configuration file, even if you use Flickr as a source of images (so imageURLs and thumbURLs are not required) and set all your configuration options in the embedding code.

I realise that this is not the answer that you were hoping for but it should at least clarify things for you.
Thank you for posting this as a suggestion in the Feature Requests forum thread (along with your other suggestion).
