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)
