DPL does not work

I just installed DPL on my wiki:

I added to LocalSettings.ini

require_once( "extensions/DynamicPageList/DynamicPageList2.php" );

I do not need $IP at the beginning. I have it in the path.

Then I loaded the extension files:

DynamicPageList2.i18n.php DynamicPageList2.php DynamicPageList2Include.php

and I placed in a page

<dpl> category=Maps namespace=Image mode=userformat listseparators=<gallery>,%PAGE%\n,,</gallery> </dpl>

the result is

<dpl> category=Maps namespace=Image mode=userformat listseparators= ,%PAGE%\n,, </dpl>


Your query is o.k. The files you installed are the minimum but most of the functionality works with these three files.

  • Did you take the latest files from the ZIP archive?
  • Change the require_once statement and let it point to a non-existing file. Do you get an error message?
  • Put an invalid php statement at the beginning of DynamicPageList2.php. Do you get an error message?
  • write <dpl>x=y</dpl>. Do you see an error?
  • write {{#dpl:x=y}}. And now?

See my post on Issue:Simply_does_not_work, DPL must not be installed, it is not showing up in the Special:Version --Zven 02:16, 17 October 2007 (CEST)

DPL2 Version

Anyone think it would be worth while to add a middle column specifying what version each site uses? —Sledged (talk) 20:34, 21 November 2007 (CET)

  • Since people will tend not to update this page (DPL now being part of MediaWiki), I don't think that's necessary. Perhaps a separate page is in order now that fetches the information via bot? (Similar to this one at Wikipedia's MetaWiki?)--Volts 19:14, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
