The most important extension of this website (hence the name "dpldemo"). DPL is a swiss-knife for your wiki.

It can create reports about articles in your wiki based on various selection criteria like categories, namespaces, use of templates, references to other pages and much more. It does not only list the names of matching articles but can also show parts or all of their content and meta data. The latest version has a dedicated cache for query results and can also be used on very high volume wikis. The new concept of configurable restrictions of functionality should allow to use DPL even on large public websites like Wikipedia.

A wiki interface to one of the world best graph layout tools ([http:absint.com/aisee aisee]). You can define a graph in textual notation and the image will be generated dynamically. Apart from manually specifying a graph you can use a DPL script to generate the graph description. Thus you can automatically generate a graphical overview of relations or arbitrary information in your wiki.

A wrapper for one of the most flexible chart generators ('ploticus'). You can provide data for a chart in textual notation and the image will be generated dynamically. Apart from manually editing the data you can use a DPL script to generate the data input for ploticus. Thus you can automatically generate charts about information contained in your wiki.

A small but very useful extension (technically speaking a 'special page') which makes it possible to pass parameters to a normal wiki page. This opens a door to a whole area of applications. The Call Extension often is the glue between pages using DPL.

A slightly modified version. The main improvement was to make Inputbox accessible as a parser function. But there are also some other details we added (like support for intro-pages).

SimpleForms offers an easy way to create screen forms for your wiki. We use the extension as it is. Maybe you want to study the way we use the Extension Call together with SimpleForms. The combination of both extensions is quite useful.

This extension takes a simple indented text and builds a foldable menu tree from it. We use it as it is. We show how to write a DPL script which produces text that can be fed into Treeview. Thus you can create dynamic menus based on relations in your wiki.

We added full support for regular expressions to this extension. Some of the applications and test pages make use of that fesature.

A minor helper which allows safe use of javascript. We use it for example to position the cursor within screen forms when first displaying a form.

An interface which offers part of the huge set of DPL functionality to a novice user. It demonstrates the combined use of DPL, SimpleForms, Call and Wgraph.

This was just a demonstration example in the beginning. It was extended to be used as a flexible calendar for wikis. We know that there are many other solutions. The main advantage we see for our calendar is that the source code is not php but wiki code. So people who do not speak php or who do not have technical access to your server can make modifications to the calendar.

This is a light-weight approach to the semantic web.

A small set of templates which can be used for issue tracking. The idea was to keep it small and simple - we do not want to compete with bugzilla.

Select pages to be exported fromn your wiki via DPL.

Use DPL to delete many pages in one transaction (bulk delete).
