Problem
We are trying to implement a news system using News Categories and DPL. DPL is well documented and everything worked fine.
The problem arose when we try to aggregate these news in a totally new page. An example follows:
Say we have two categories and two pages for two news channel, WikiNews, and UbuntuNews. Now in a totally new page We would like to see all News regardless of where it is coming from. This does not work. We don't know if it is a feature or a side effect.
DPL categorizes every page that contain dpl tag with category=whatever. So when we create a filter using category=%News (which will match both WikiNews, and UbuntuNews) that creates a recursive output, i.e. pages including pages, etc.
We wonder if this can be done, and how. Or else please take this as a feature request.
v2: That could be another issue around the same subject. Say we are trying to create two pages for the same filter (Category) but with differen output formats. These to pages will be given the same category, hence will create a recursion in the output.
Is there any way to disable adding auto categories (We am sure there is, but we don't know how), and does that make sense, or does this change break any thing in the whole?
