Comments(0) These days I have discovered an extension for MediaWiki, which makes it pretty easy to embed MarvinView Applets provided by ChemAxon into MediaWiki-articles. This page shows how to do it. A nice feature is the possibility to visuaolize molcules in 2d by entering a SMILES-string. The other extension adds a button to the article editor of MediaWiki, which can be used to draw a molecule in MarvinSketch an hand it over to MediaWiki.
One problem I discovered is, that it doesn’t seem to work on MediaWiki releases newer than 1.10.x. But since many extensions don’t do that, in my opinion it isn’t clever to use a newer release anyway.
