Forum:DynamicPageList2

I've discovered a use for the DynamicPageList2 extension. Like the DynamicPageList, but with more options. What I'd like to know is if I could beg and plead the sysops into installing this extension at some point. Thanks Tjoneslo 15:35, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Sysops can't install suck things. Only Users with staff level can, I think. Either that or only Angela and JasonR. Smiddle 15:42, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

When this will be implemented on wikia?--Cizagna (Talk) 22:24, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to re-request the mw:Extension:DynamicPageList2 extension (also here). To whom do I send bribes (money, cookies, etc.) to get this put on the to-do list for added extensions? Tjoneslo 15:16, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Apparently mw:Extension:DynamicPageList2 has now been supplanted by the current mw:Extension:DynamicPageList. --Splarka (talk) 07:39, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, true. Wikia still only has the (now obsolete) Old Dynamic Page List. I'm just wondering if there's a better way to make requests like this. Tjoneslo 12:23, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Bumping as im hoping this is been work out, as i was waiting for the DynamicPageList2, and i thought i saw it on the version information after the MediaWiki upgrade but for what i read here it was been remove, now my question is when is the new DinamicPageList be implemented on the whole wikia? (so anxious to sort stuff according the sortkey of a determinated category) --Cizagna (Talk) 23:41, 15 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Just to mention that there is at least two sysops on fr.guildwars.wikia that would really like this thing too. No big deal though. We will be happy when this get implemented even if it's in six month or even more. Just wanted to show support. See ya. — TůζipVõrζąx Talk 07:47, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Just a little interesting use for DPL2 when it comes to MediaWiki. As you see in this image you can generate a dynamic multi level list showing subpage structure. Using the stuff in DPL2. ~Dantman(talk) tricks May 23, 2007 @ 07:59 (UTC)

We, at the french uncyclopedia, try to implement statistical and thematic pages about our users, as in Wikipedia, but by having users only modify their user page using predefined templates. This implies the ability to include sections from user pages into new pages. DPL2 does that stuff well, so we would really really appreciate a wikia update regarding this extension. --Thaumasnot 08:39, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

To keep this topic in your minds: Here's another interested party in the latest DPL. Its very important for the Vim wiki because we will import the tips database from http://www.vim.org/tips. Thanks alot! bastl 14:37, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Missing feature
Hi all

I think DPL2 has been integrated, which is nice, but includepage (the ability to include other pages in the generated list) does not seem to work. I read in the manual: "Requires lst.php from Labeled Section Transclusion". Could this be integrated ? I reckon this is a very handy feature allowing to build summaries without redundancy. --Thaumasnot 12:08, 15 June 2007 (UTC)


 * How do you make it works ? My old tags "dynamicpagelist" don't work anymore and when I replace with "DPL" it doesn't work either... Alkinor 12:56, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Replacing with "DPL" should work. Did you also replace the ending tags ? --Thaumasnot 13:51, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It works now ! Maybe it takes a little time with server cache Alkinor 14:56, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Sortkey
I cant make this sort key function work as it should,

in my wiki we normaly do cross reference Category B with category C and we get a nice match of stuff. now the issue we want things order by certain degrees (level) so in any case we have created a super category "A" where all the items are there and use a numerical sortkey, now how i can make it to match Category B and C and sort it acording to A, when i use the "ordermethod=category,sortkey" what it drops me information on the other categories in the articles, and in a weird sorting and dupe of names --Cizagna (Talk) 18:44, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
