Topic: Juicebox and Ajax

Hi,

I am looking around for a decent image gallery and Juicebox has been recommended to me by a friend.

I have my image url information along with image comments stored in a sql server database.

Can I use Juicebox and Ajax to display both the image and comments?
Does anyone have any examples of doing this that I could review?


Thanks

Re: Juicebox and Ajax

I've discovered recently Juicebox ; I've first used the free version and as I was very satisfied, I've bought the Pro version. I'm sure that Steven will provide you an answer which interests me ; but why Ajax and not PHP (which is generally used to do requests to a SQL database) ?

Re: Juicebox and Ajax

All the image paths and image titles and captions have to be listed in a separate XML file.
There is no way to pass this information to Juicebox without using a separate XML file.

The XML file can either be a static file (a .xml file created in advance) or a file generated dynamically by a server-side scripting language (such as PHP) so that the file is fully-formed when it is fed to Juicebox.

An example of this can be found in the answer to Query #3 in this forum post.

Can Juicebox handle a custom data source, for example RSS or Instagram?
