Problem

I add the correct statement in LocalSettings.php and the extension in wiki/extensions/DynamicPageList but when I use it in my wiki with either <dpl> or <DPL> or {{#dpl: }}, I see what I wrote, that is tag is not parsed and template is not executed.

See CategoryGallery in USNB wiki.

It appears that it is not installed as suggested, in your Special:Version there is no extension Dynamic Page List. --Zven 02:13, 17 October 2007 (CEST)

Maybe one of the other extensions causes a problem? I suggest to

• install some other extension than DPL and see if it works
• install only DPL and check then

I made some change to LocalSettings and now it works, but it looks like there is a bug. I tried FIRST

<DPL>

 category = aCategoryOfMineForImages
 nocategory =
 namespace = Immagine
 mode = userformat
 format = <gallery>,%PAGE%\n,,</gallery>

</DPL>

Please, note that Immagine is the Italian term for Image. I got the gallery, but NOT just for aCategoryOfMineForImages, but ALL images. So I tried:

<DPL>

 category = {{{categoria}}}
 nocategory =
 namespace = Immagine
 mode = userformat
 format = <gallery>,%TITLE%\n%CATNAMES%\n,,</gallery>

</DPL>

and I got the name of each image but NOT the categories. I suspect that

1. category does not work when image namespace si used
2. or, in some way you have Category reserved word hardcoded somewhere, that is, you do not use Categoria, the Italian term for Category

Am I correct? See CategoryGallery --Dejudicibus 17:25, 18 October 2007 (CEST)

Try notcategory; nocategory is not a valid command. Mayvbe you have to put a | character behind the statement, so that it reads "notcategory=|". --Gero 18:07, 19 October 2007 (CEST)
