Revision as of 10:39, 18 February 2010

I'm using the DPL parameter "firstrevisionsince=dateandoptionaltime" , to display articles after 20080430. One results is as follows: 23:57, 2 May 2008 : Insurance Programs . . JSmith --- I would like for the end result to be: Insurance Programs --Displaying only the article and removing the timestamp and the editor's name. How can I turn the timestamp/editor results off?

Use format. Thus you can customize your output completely. Gero 23:48, 12 May 2008 (CEST)

Compound expression for includematch

I am using two simple dpl statements that include the includematch statements:

includematch=/disclosure_type\s*=\s*[^|]*Proprietary Information/

and

includematch=/type\s*=\s*[^|]*Proprietary Information/

both of these work when used in simple statements but i'd like to combine then into one dpl query rather than 2.

i tried includematch=/disclosure_type\s*=\s*[^|]*Proprietary Information/,/type\s*=\s*[^|]*Proprietary Information/

and all of the items from the first query appear but none of the ones from the second. Can someone tell me what i am doing wrong, please.

Suggestion

You could try to use /(disclosure_)?type\s*=\s*[^|]*Proprietary Information/ but I am not sure what will happen. I am afraid DPL might only pick the first parameter (whichever it is). -- Gero 15:30, 30 June 2008 (CEST)

createdby/modifiedby

if username contains an underscore no results are returned

Extension:DynamicPageList (DPL), version 3.2.1: Warning: No results.

notlastmodifiedby User 1 OR User 2

You can't combine 2 usernames in notlastmodifiedby? 

{{#dpl:
 |ordermethod=lastedit
 |order=descending
 |notlastmodifiedby=Gero
 |notlastmodifiedby=Subfader
 |adduser=true
 |addeditdate=true
 |count=15
 |format=<ul>,\n<li>%USER% - %DATE% - [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]]</li>\n,,</ul>
}}

Simple template inclusion

Page "Test" uses Template:Test 

{{Test.dpl|p1=aaa|p2=bbb}}
{{Test|p1=aaa|p2=bbb}}

Template:Test includes 

{{#dpl:|title={{PAGENAME}}|include={Test}.dpl }}

Template:Test.dpl includes 

{{{p1}}}--{{{p2}}}

Page Test renders as 

aaa--bbb
%DPL-1.5.1-WARNING: No results!

This with Mediawiki 1.10.1. I tried using dpl version 1.9.0 but existing pages using dpl fail with this error (filed as an issue 23 Dec 09):

[23-Dec-2009 18:18:37] PHP Catchable fatal error: Object of class Title could not be converted to string in /.../mediawiki-1.10.1/includes/Revision.php on line 322

Should this work with 1.5.1? Perhaps I am misunderstanding how this is supposed to work? According to the revision history, 1.5.3 has a related bugfix, but AFAICT that shouldn't stop this from working.

How can I simply list all subpages of current page?

I want to list all subpages of a current page in my wiki which has the DPL extension installed. I.e. I want to list all subpages of {{FULLPAGENAME}}. What is then the correct syntax when using DPL ? --Syryos 23:21, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Use this code, see also example Test Amp; you may want to add a slash so that similar pages are not matched --Gero 09:47, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
{{#dpl:
 | namespace = {{NAMESPACE}}
 | titlematch={{PAGENAME}}%
 | noresultsheader =  
 | resultsheader   = This page has the following subpages:<br/>
}}

Thanks. Regarding what you said "...to add a slash...": what do you mean exactly, do you mean {{PAGENAME}}/% ?
And, adding the column attribute may break this function when also using the header attributes, see quick analysis on example and further revisions. --Syryos 12:42, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Add a linefeed after the header and everything works fine, see Test Amp. Indeed I was talking about a slash after the PAGENAME ..--Gero 13:35, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Gero, thanks, okay. I suggest you document this fully featured example under a new section "How to neatly list subpages in columns" on the DPL main page (which does not mention the keyword subpage/s except for the keyword includesubpages but in a different context). The addition of a linefeed \n or &nbsp; to make the example working with the column option are (dirty?) tricks, I mean, the use is not very intuitive (how should an average user learn to know this?) and should therefore be please expressly commented. By the way, I was pointed to DPL by reading the book "Mediawiki".

How can the result list be output in case-insensitive sorted order. i.e. Main/apage then Main/Apage then Main/Bpage ? Currently I found the lowercase subpages (here: Main/apage) listed after the Main/Zpage. Is there a way to achieve this ? --Syryos 15:04, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

tablesortcol and distinct

I have a table generated by DPL that lists a series of pages and some values from templates on those pages. The table has "distinct=strict", as I don't want to see pages listed more than once. The last value in the table is an integer from 1 to 10. I tried adding "tablesortcol=12" (the last column), and it seems as if the "distinct" parameter is causing only the rows with distinct integers to show up in the result set. The table is getting sorted correctly by that last column, but only a portion of the results are showing up.

It's funny because my results header is printing out the correct number of pages it found (ex: 10), but the table that's displaying it is only showing the rows with distinct integers in the last column (ex: 3). I tried using "distinct=true" and see the same results.

Am I doing anything wrong? Is this a bug? --Gkullberg 16:31, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the precise report. It might be a bug. Could you produce a small example showing the effect here in this wiki? Then I may be able to track the problem down. Although it may take some time as I am busy with different things than DPL at the moment. --Gero 08:39, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
