A report generator.

I used it to build intelligent lists which draw from various other pages scattered throughout the wiki via templates.

• 2009-03-19 – 1.7.4 on MediaWiki 1.14.0 (PHP version not recorded)

• 2009-03-18 on MediaWiki 1.13.0 (PHP version not recorded)

2009-03-19 – 1.7.4 ∞

• Can I sort with two columns, a primary and a secondary?

• count = x needs a companion like perpage = x, where the list is displayed with that many items, but pagination is implemented. This could even be done with fancy AJAX if that’s doable, but a simple refresh of the page and keep the page at that table would be nice.

  • This means that all tables would need to have an anchor created

• I found a bug where it looks like only partial results are being given. A simple clock has some items which are messed up in a table. Research this further and try to reproduce it. Also put an example of the ‘a simple clock’ entry below (just that one page match though.

(go to your extensions directory)

1. Basics

mkdir DPL-temp
wget semeb.com/dpldemo/images/f/fe/Semeb_extensions.zip
unzip Semeb_extensions.zip
mv DynamicPageList/ ../
cd ..
rm -rf DPL-temp
echo 'require_once("$IP/extensions/DynamicPageList/DynamicPageList2.php");' >> ../LocalSettings.php

2. Visit [[Special:Version]] and confirm that DynamicPageList2 appears.

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) (e.g. DynamicPageList-test), add your template with a parameter:

(arbitrary content)

{{DynamicPageList-test|hey there!}}

3. In your list article, add this code:

{{#dpl:
 |namespace=
 |uses=Template:DynamicPageList-test
 |include={DynamicPageList-test}:1
 |table=,,Text
}}

Your output will become:

%DPL-1.7.4-WARNING: No results!
