Hi there,
I stumbled across this nifty little plugin.. not sure if this is too late, but I too have been linking this plugin into a backend database... or XML or whatever...
Anyway, I have been working with jQuery for some time (no expert by the way!), and have the plugin (well nearly!) linked to the database.. actually I am using
an XML field in a table to store the position/width/height and of course the text.. so it means (in my case), if I have a member/user who has notes (in fact I am sharing them
between friends i.e. a friend can add a note for some other friend), then they will be brought back via an AJAX/jQuery call and simply rendered into the plugin..
It is 'basically' working now, however I will clean up the code a bit (mostly all jQuery with a bit of .NET / can be easily adapted for PHP/Python etc) and then will post
here to share.
Hope this helps!
