3cs9

Hi Sandra,

I saw you added an initial scene to the page 3cs9. It wasn't too clear how to add the scene parameter -- sorry about that. I'll try to explain here.

The wikitext that draws the big "Structure Box", as we like to call it, on each PDB entry page with the 3D applet with all of the functional annotation and other information in one big box looks like this:

{{STRUCTURE_3cs9| PDB=3cs9 | SCENE= }}

You probably recall from the workshop at Erice that to add a 3D applet to the page, you can click the "3D" button above the wikitext area, and you get wikitext that looks like this, and gives you a 3D applet on the page

<applet load='Insert PDB code or filename here' size='300' frame='true' align='right' caption='Insert caption here' />

The "Structure Box" is different than the plain applet in that it includes the 3D applet as well as all the other information that you get inside the 'Structure Box' you find on each PDB entry page (like functional information and links to that PDB entry in other resources). You get a bit less flexibility with the Structure Box, as the only parameters you can change are the PDB id and the starting Scene. The wikitext for scenes that you want to create inside the text of a page are generated automatically for you when you create a scene, and that looks something like this:

<scene name='3cs9/Overall_structure/1'>TextToBeDisplayed</scene>

Now, the name of the scene is 3cs9/Overall_structure/1 which comes from the following format PageName/SceneName/VersionNumber. That whole todo with the <scene in the front and the </scene> at the end tells Proteopedia to make a green scene link in the text. If you, on the other hand, want to make that scene the initial scene in the Structure Box, you need to enter just the scene's name into the Scene parameter of the Structure Box like so:

{{STRUCTURE_3cs9| PDB=3cs9 | SCENE=3cs9/Overall_structure/1 }}

That's pretty much it. If I wasn't clear on any point, you can email me.
