Talk:Resultsheaderwithcolumns
Any reason why columns doesn't work right when used in a template? -—Eep² 13:40, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
- Probably yes ;-) The question might be: is it "bug or feature"? What problem are you exactly talking of? Gero 18:03, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
- Well, you know how DPL can be called as a tag (<dpl>...</dpl>) or as a template ({{#dpl:...}})? Well, using columns inside the DPL template causes the wiki table markup to show but fails to render as a table:
{|
|
* Entry
* Entry
* Entry
|valign=top|
* Entry
* Entry
* Entry
|valign=top|
* Entry
* Entry
|valign=top|
|}
But I haven't upgraded in a while so that might be the problem. -—Eep² 03:37, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
- So I upgrade to the latest version, but now I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function getText() on a non-object in .../httpdocs/wiki/includes/Parser.php on line 3715
- Any ideas? All I did was copy all of DPL's files to a new extensions subfolder, then add this to LocalSettings.php:
require_once("$IP/extensions/DynamicPageList/DynamicPageList2.php"); #4
- And commenting out the line for the old version:
#require_once("$IP/extensions/DynamicPageList2/DynamicPageList2.php"); #4

- I notice my user page test also generates a similar error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function getNamespace() on a non-object in /www/htdocs/w0057617/dpldemo/extensions/SimpleForms/SimpleForms.php on line 457

I can reproduce the effect you describe if I use a resultsheader without trailing newline:
7 pages in total.{| |
|valign=top|
|valign=top|
|valign=top|
|}
Is that the reason?
The problem with getText() could lie in the version of your MW version. MW changed the interface (somwhen in 1.13 I believe) - so you might need a more recent version of MW to use the latest version of DPL.
BTW: In my opinion the example in the manual works correctly - for testing I just put in a category name which exists in the current wiki, like 'Fictitious country':

- Dunno about the trailing newline but since I don't feel like upgrading MW now, I'll just use <div style="-moz-column-count:2;column-count:2;"> in resultsheader and </div> in resultsfooter. —Eep² 10:46, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
