Cut-and-paste documentation
SIMPLE instructions for everyday usage.
I use DPL for only one thing right now, so I have complete documentation for that one activity.
Displaying notes from pages
Problem to solve:
- Many pages are tagged with a template.
- Each page's template-tag also has a note in the form of {{template|my note}}
- I want to create a list of those pages and their notes.
1. Create your template Template:DynamicPageList-test:
(arbitrary content/functionality)
2. In any article(s), add your template with a parameter:
<code> (arbitrary content) {{DynamicPageList-test|hey there!}} </code>
3. In your list article, add this code:
<code> {{#dpl: |namespace= |uses=Template:DynamicPageList-test |include={DynamicPageList-test}:1 |table=,,Text }} </code>
Your output will become:
Extension:DynamicPageList (DPL), version 3.2.1: Warning: No results.
NOTE: To avoid cluttering the DPL wiki, I have not created the template nor have I created test pages which use that template. So this example is kindof empty. =)
NOTE2: Consider this DPL use case to be supported. Any questions/comments are welcomed. Edit this page or my discussion page to email me.
Notes / Todo
- Issue:Call to a member function getPrefixedDBkey() on a non-object still sortof a problem.
- It's not so important since the functionality which is causing it is something I've already wanted to repair in my wiki. So basically this issue will go away for me.
