Javascript extension
I've installed DynamicPageList2 on my mediawiki. It works great. On the demo page I saw that you have created an extension called Javascript. Is this extension anywhere available? I didn't see it here on www.mediawiki.org BB70 08:38, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I uploaded the source code together with a short description. Algorithmix 14:34, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Demonstrating my extensions on the DPLDEMO website
You offered to demonstrate my extensions on the DPLDEMO website. This would indeed be very interesting. Feel free to install the extensions, and I'd be happy to write some demo code!

You might prefer not to enable Database Querying as this implies that the email adresses of registered users become publically available. Unfortunately I don't know how to solve that, and to my opinion this is a serious obstacle against using Database Querying on public sites.

Nevertheless, even without that feature Extension:StackFunctions still offers a lot of posibilities which would be worthwhile to demonstrate. - RV1971 09:29, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Hiya Algorithmix, please don't create categories like this, they're being deprecated. Thanks! -- Sayuri 14:41, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Adding DPL2 on mediawiki
I've added DynamicPageList on Mediawiki svn repository, today. Have fun !--Bertrand GRONDIN 16:08, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello!
Noted your interest in DPL+Googlemaps integration - did you find any good resources or info on how DPL do their very cool maps? Would be very helpful to a non-profit if you could help in anyway - having a headache with this! Thank you Algorithmix :) 92.40.13.127 13:35, 25 November 2008 (UTC)  (email is jon@textualecstasy.com)

dpl for "Index (List of index-terms) for a book"
Hello Algorithmix,

I have put a question on the talk page of dpl: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:DynamicPageList#Index_.28List_of_index-terms.29_for_a_book

Are you able to give me some hints there?

Licensing Update?
My name is Michael Stahnke and I work with the Fedora project. We'd like to package up some of your mediawiki extensions as RPMs for use with our distribution. Currently, however we are unclear on the licensing of these extensions. They only say 'no license specified' on the mediawiki.org extension page, and examining the source code has not helped either. If these are in fact open source extensions, please place a license on them so we are free to use them in our distribution. Until the license is clarified, we are unable to include them in our distribution.

Thanks for your time.

 * Extension:DynamicPageList (DPL) is free software according to GPL. I will put a statement clarifying this on the dpldemo web page. Algorithmix 06:55, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

DPL2 code update
I've updated the codebase (1.7.6) to the Subversion Repository, and solved the encoding problems. So the localisation problem can be resolved. :) Shinjiman 15:32, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! As I am the primary maintainer of DPL2 I will try to get access rights to the svn repo and then this will become the master place for the DPL sources. Algorithmix 07:00, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

As of 25 and 26. May 2009, DPL and MW 1.16 alpha do not work together, see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18924 Thanks for all your good work! --G.Hagedorn 09:49, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the same problem also happens with earlier versions of MW. It should be resolved in DPL 1.7.9. Algorithmix 04:05, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The DPL2 codebase (1.7.9) had been applied on rev:51054, have fun. Shinjiman 11:50, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Call code update
I've updated the Call codebase (0.7) into the WM Subversion Repository as well (committed on rev:51055, rev:51056, rev:51057, and the previous code was based on 0.6). Hopfully the usage of this can be increases. :) Shinjiman 11:57, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for dplcache
Thank you for your work on dplcache. We use DPL on the Russian WikiFur front page, and it was nice to see the purge times going down.

If you're looking to improve performance further, one possibility might be to figure out a way for it to not have to touch all of its code files, especially if there are no DPL tags in a page (since code must be retrieved from APC cache - or worse, re-parsed). I think some extensions do this - you can see in the APC code cache that only some of their files are touched, and not all the time - but I don't know how they do it.
