 * Can you give an example of how to use json.php? I have tried several different
   ways to get this working but I’m struggling.
 * I have this in my config:
    define(‘NGG_JSON_ENABLED’, true);
 * I would like to be able to query the gallery using jQuery with a load perhaps,
   but I can’t quite seem to get that to work…either way I get header already included
   errors.
 * If I include the json.php file in my templates, I will get the cannot modify 
   header error as well.
 * Perhaps a basic way to use the json.php script?

 * I used json to get a similar result like with the great [Full screen Flickr Gallery](http://monc.se/kitchen/161/full-screen-flickr-gallery).
   For this purpose I’ve added this json lib (still in progress). As a first result
   you can get images with the follow callback :
 * `http://your.domain/callback=json&format=json&method=search&term=myterm`
 * there are more method added, just play a bit with the parameter “method”

 * Ok, I think I missed the ?callback=json
 * Thanks for your help, sometimes it is just a simple thing. Is the callback parameter
   used by ngg or by wp?
 * Thanks..

 * My fault… I didn’t update the source code, so you can’t know it.
 * It’s a NGG function, with this feature I didn’t need to know the path to the 
   plugin file which is much better : [http://alexrabe.de/2009/11/16/no-more-direct-calls/](http://alexrabe.de/2009/11/16/no-more-direct-calls/)

 * I always get **JSON API not enabled. Add define(‘NGG_JSON_ENABLE’, true); to 
   your wp-config.php file** when i try to get the json callback.
 * I tried:
    [ this](http://kollektiv25.de/nggallery/page-87/album-1/gallery-25/?callback=json&format=json&method=search&term=myterm)
   and [that](http://kollektiv25.de/index.php?callback=json&format=json&method=search&term=myterm)?!?
 * How do you use json?

 * Hi,
 * I also added **define(‘NGG_JSON_ENABLE’, true);** to my **“wp-config.php”** but
   it doesn’t work.
 * But I get no json callback, for Example with this url: [http://localhost/wp-content/gallery/album/?callback=json&format=json&method=search&term=myterm](http://localhost/wp-content/gallery/album/?callback=json&format=json&method=search&term=myterm)
 * is it even possible to get an json callback, when I don’t include the gallery/
   album into a page or post?
 * Can anyone help me, please?
