DPL talk:Manual - Source and Installation

It would be awesome if you had some installing instructions too. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.198.235.75 (talk • contribs) 12:21, August 21, 2007. Please sign your posts!

It would be nice if you could use a 'real' name.

There was a proper manual, but it seems to have been deleted by incident. It has been restored.

Bugreport: params don't exist!

At least $wgDPL2AllowUnlimitedResults and $wgDPL2MaxResultCount don't seem to exist (anymore). Grep confirms this: root@host:extensions/DynamicPageList# grep wgDPL2MaxResultsCount *.php root@host:extensions/DynamicPageList# grep wgDPL2AllowUnlimitedResults *.php root@host:extensions/DynamicPageList#

This is really annoying since we hit the limit of 500 in a number of queries. Right now all we can do is patch the code directly ;-( -- Mati 15:55, 4 May 2008 (CEST)

Indeed, due to a change some time ago these variables are now public static members of

class ExtDynamicPageList2
   ..
   public  static $maxResultCount           = 500;   // Maximum number of results to allow
   public  static $allowUnlimitedResults    = false; // Allow unlimited results to be shown
   ..

They should be accessible as ExtDynamicPageList2::$maxResultCount etc.

Is this the intended behavior (in that case, the documentation has to be updated) or, which would IMHO be the better solution, will these variables be made available again?

Yes and yes. I will try to find a way to make the old global variables available besides the new form - but only for reasons of downward compatibility; the preferred way is to use the static class members. Gero 07:01, 5 May 2008 (CEST)
