Many thanks. However, I had an edit conflict with you and canceled my edit. Then everything worked. I then made the edit on the first section which should not affect anything and now only the inline content ones work and the others all say permission denied. Very puzzling. --[[User:Bduke|Bduke]] 01:51, 30 November 2008 (CET)

Revision as of 01:01, 30 November 2008

Hi, I saw that you did a few tries and found some errors. I have very recently upgraded this wiki to MediaWiki 1.11.

A few answers :

  • Uploading files: I forgot to enable again the uploading of chemical files, that should work now.
  • PDB files: do they work with Jmol applet/application outside the Wiki ?
  • urlContents: not sure it's the only problem, but it probably requires the signed applet to work. And I am not sure that mixing signed/unsigned applets in the same page works.

I'll try uploading later and let you know if it does not work.

The PDB files used to work here and work on a off-wiki site but with an older Jmol. First, I will try uploading these files. Second, I will update Jmol on the other server.

urlContents is not that important. I suspect Wikipedia and Wikiversity will insist on uploads only so they are checkable and controlled like images are. All in all that is probably a sensible attitude for them to take.

Many thanks for your help. Brian. --Bduke 22:13, 10 December 2007 (CET)


The start / stop spinning buttons under the left-side, green background, staggered ethane were acting instead on the top-right, red background, applet. I'm trying to find out why. Aha! both applets had the same name, so the first one was being targeted. I have fixed that now, using different names for all applets. --AngelHerraez 01:22, 30 November 2008 (CET)


The inline pdb examples that did not work are now working after I inserted a vertical bar (or pipe) at the beginning of each line of data (I remembered this issue posted some time ago in the users list, so I've given it a try, and works -- there must have been a change in behaviour along Jmol versions). --AngelHerraez 01:43, 30 November 2008 (CET)

The problem with <wikiPageContents> was the same as with <inlineContents>, but I had to add the pipes at the end of each line; the beginning did not work. So that position should be a safer choice for all cases.

This means that uploaded molecular files cannot be used straight away, but need a manual edit of the file's page to insert the pipes :-( --AngelHerraez 02:01, 30 November 2008 (CET)
