There is a separate document for Feature Requests on the DPL demo website.

Please use that one. Putting a "mw:" prefix before your signature will link to your media wiki user page.''

MediaWiki Version
This page says that DPL requires v. 1.7+ of MW, but the DPL wiki says 1.8+. Would be worth changing to whichever one is correct! I tried to install with 1.7 and it didn't work, which was disappointing.

Conflict with RSSReader Extension
I've noted a conflict between the RSSReader Extension and DynamicPageList Extension when both are run on the same page. See Comment on RSS_Reader Extension for details. Any idea why this might be?

Labeled Transclusion Sections with DPL 1.6.9
We just installed DPL 1.6.9 and noticed that our section transclusions are no longer working.

For example, we have

title=Article1

include=summary

And it used to work with the previous DPL version which displayed all text in the summary section but with DPL 1.6.9 nothing is being picked up. Any ideas? -alhui

 * Add the following after the line with inclusion of the extension in the file LocalSettings.php

$wgParserConf['class'] = 'Parser_OldPP';


 * This will force the mw-core to use the old parser. Jeblad 15:13, 13 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Having same problem and the OldPP hack doesn't seem to solve it. (MW 1.12; DPL 1.6.9; the labeled section extension has been deactivated, and the dpl2include seems to work because the "section" tag is listed in my MW spectial:version page). A page called Test1 with the text The book is Cien anos de soledad is never transcluded in a page Test2 with the code Nothing is output. The older version 08:32, 17 January 2008 works perfectly though. --Fxparlant 09:55, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

DPL-1.6.9-ERROR: Wrong '$0' parameter: 'namespace'
Resolved

It had nothing to do with DPL. Sorry

Problem with mediawiki 1.12
It seems that message file cause error on mediawiki 1.12 (see this thread). Could author of this extension make the update for us ? -- phkoech 26 april 2008

labeled section only
How to list only the labeled sections, without the pages not containing the section: will list the pages of category Book, even if they do not have. The includematch cannot be used, because the include doesn't call the whole section, but only the content of the section tags. Any idea ? --Fxparlant 11:06, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Catch a template parameter
I am looking for a way to use DPL to catch, not the title of a page, but the parameter of a template:

if a page calls the template  , how to catch the param3 in another page, with a query on the first parameter and the second ?

New pages
Is there a way to get this to only return new pages (the pages in Special:Newpages)? Thanks 193.36.230.96 12:13, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes
"ordermethod=firstedit" was the parameter I needed
