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.
