| Description: | It is hard for users of a Wiki using DPL to find the version of DPL being run by the Wiki. |
| Extension / Version: | DPL / All |
| Type / Status: | Change Request / open / answered |
Suggestion
It would be nice if future versions reported the version through a simple query.
Example:
<DPL> reportversion=yes </DPL>
As a suggested implementation, any query including this flag would report the DPL version being used on first line of the results.
If this functionality already exists, I could not find it in the DPL Manual.
Reply
I think a %VERSION% pseudo-variable would be a more flexible solution. You could use it within the resultsheader for example.
This is DPL version 3.2.1.

Shall we document this?
It looks like Gero has provided an answer by example. I think this issue can probably be closed if this works in current and future versions, but I would like for it to be documented somewhere. Any suggestions for the most appropriate location? Is it already documented?
<DPL> resultsheader=This is DPL version '''%VERSION%.''' title=Main Page </DPL>
or
{{#dpl:resultsheader=This is DPL version '''%VERSION%.'''\n|title=Main Page}}
