Problem

I have a mediawiki site at superdelegates.org. Its goal is to track superdelegate endorsements in the US Democratic presidential race, and having a dynamically updated list of the number of endorsements was my goal - DPL seems to be perfect for this goal.

I installed the extension without a problem, and it's returning results. The problem is that it's returning the wrong number of articles in one of the categories. (The other two categories are properly counted.) You can see here where DPL says there are 107 articles in the category "Delegates who have endorsed Hillary Clinton". The problem is that if you click through to that category, you'll see that there are 260 articles in that category.

Have I done something wrong? Is there something I need to do to ensure DPL returns the proper article count?

Thanks,

Rick

Your query hits the total limit of 500 records (note that the sum of the figures is exactly 500). The easiest way to change this is to increase the limit in the source ($maxResultCount) at DynamicPageList2.php, line 305 to a suitable value, maybe 1000 in your case. Hope it helps and may America win ;-)
