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: Extension talk:DynamicPageList

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.

Your Picture
Hello, I seen your on http://semeb.com/dpldemo/index.php?title=Main_Page. Can I copy this File? If yes, under...? thank you, final.countdown from the Kamelopedia 91.7.113.14 17:17, 15 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I am afraid, no. I found the images somewhere in the net and can't remember where. But there are lots of free icon collections, you will easily find a similar one, I think. Algorithmix 17:36, 16 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay, thank you...so I must look in the net for a new image^^...--91.7.99.246 15:44, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * P.S.: I wish you a merry christmas and a "Guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr" (happy new year!^^)...
 * ach, du bist in der dewiki? und ich versuch mein bestes English ausm Hinterkopf zu kramen, und was sehe ich...du babbelst hessisch^^...hätte ich das zuerst gesehen, hätte ich natürlich deutsch geschrieben...soso, das Bild hast du ausm "Net"...*omg*...--91.7.99.246 15:50, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

DPL
Hallo Gero, du hattest mich vor Monaten auf meiner Disk gefragt, ob so eine Erweiterung sinnvoll sein könnte. Ich habe mir das nun einmal angeschaut und muss sagen: Auf jeden Fall! Die Möglichkeit, Artikelinhalte aggregieren zu können, dürfte gerade im Unternehmensumfeld durchaus nützlich sein. Leider habe ich beruflich nicht mehr mit MediaWiki zu tun, sonst wäre dir eine Installation sicher :) Gruß, --Flominator 13:56, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Comparison of Dynamic Pagelist x Semantic Mediawiki

Question on GPL license version number
I was referred to you as the developer of the Dynamic Page List extension. I am currently using your DPL (Dynamic Page List) extension to MediaWiki. I checked around on various links and I found that it is available under the GPL license but it there is no specification of which version: GPL v2 or GPL v3. Do you know which GPL version the DPL extension is licensed under? I can use products licensed under GPL v2 but not GPL v3. If it is GPL v3, is it possible to get a version licensed under GPL v2?

Thank you for your assistance.

Millie H.


 * It is GPL v2. --Algorithmix 15:33, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your work
Gero: Just wanted to thank you for your work contributing to the MediaWiki ecology. Best wishes. (I noticed that you have Subversion access but it looks like you haven't added your USERINFO file yet -- go ahead!) Sumanah 18:42, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

= DPL 2.0 =

Hello, is DPL 2.0 extension availble yet? at least in SVN or anywhere else? --Svdubl (talk) 00:49, 7 July 2012 (UTC)


 * YES, now it is available. Algorithmix (talk) 22:52, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

= Extension:Call on MediaWiki 1.19.1 =

In the Download information section of your Extension:Call it says:

"The latest Version 1.2 is only usable for Mediawiki version < 1.18.0. If you use Mediawiki version >= 1.8 download http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor/Call"

But that's a dead link. What shall I do?

(Feel free to reply in German btw)
