Description: News aggregation using DPL
Extension / Version: DPL   /   1.7.4
Type / Status: Change Request   /   open

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.
