DPL Bugs on WikiArquitectura.com[edit]

To the responsible of DPL extension,

My name is Guillermo (guillermo@wikiarquitectura.com) and I’m responsible for several Wikis, the most important of them www.wikiarquitectura.com. Which runs both in Spanish and English.

I was trying to install your extension on the Spanish version of WikiArquitectura in order to show some ads and I’m finding some problems.

I first installed the extension on another wiki I use for testing (www.wikipremiere.com) this Wiki is also in Spanish and runs MediaWiki 1.13.3. Everything went well here as you can see: http://es.wikipremiere.com/index.php?title=Sandbox

So I went ahead and installed the extension on WikiArquitectura, which runs MediaWiki 1.15.1 . But something is bugging here as you can see: http://es.wikiarquitectura.com/index.php?title=Sandbox

I did some testing, reinstalling, etc. I also commented the problem with some colleagues, but none of us was able to figure out what’s going wrong… Changing the variable $wgDBmysql5 from true to false on the LocalSettings.php solves the problem and DPL runs then correctly, but that messes up all the special Spanish characters of the site, changing them for some piece of code instead of showing the character…

I’m running out of ideas here… so I decided to contact you to see if you have any idea how to solve this… maybe you’ve found this problem earlier or something… My email is: guillermo@wikiarquitectura.com

Thank you very much for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.36.55.225 (talk) 12:22, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thats My Mountain Wilson Toll Road!!![edit]

I am the original editor of the Mt. Wilson Toll Road as listed on Wikipedia. The story as it was submitted is the story I tell of the Mount Wilson Toll Road in any of my lectures on Altadena history or talk on the Mount Lowe Railway, another of my original edits. I have never heard of Old Radio.com nor of Benjamin's Mountain. If anyone is plagiarizing, they are. I find my Wikipedia articles all over tell-all web sites. And all those photos are from my collection of Altadena photos. I am a recognized Altadena historian, and that road is damned near in my back yard. It's story is somewhat relative to the story of the Mount Lowe Railway, and those accounts on WP are mine. They come from a myriad of historical tales in Altadena, some published, and some lore. I request that the original text be reinstated. Understanding that WP articles become a matter of public domain, I find it small wonder that irrefutable tales like mine might be lifted and copyrighted on another site. Thank you.--Magi Media (talk) 22:04, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Does DPL2 have support for Actor Migration?[edit]

Hi, does DPL2/third-party have support for Actor Migration required for MediaWiki 1.35? Or does it suffer from the same issues as DPL3 which is now labeled as incompatible with the current version of MediaWiki? Please see explanation [Extension_talk:DynamicPageList_(third-party)#Is_this_compatible_with_1.35_or_does_it_have_the_same_issues_as_DPL3%3F here]. Sorry to be a pest, we have several sites reliant on DPL3 and are looking to switch to DPL2, but see that many of the same maintainers are on both projects, and possibly it suffers from the same issue, so thought I would ask. Cheers. TiltedCerebellum (talk) 01:17, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DPL2/third-party and DPL3 incompatible with MW 1.35 LTS[edit]

Hi, I'm not exactly sure the best way to get in contact with the team working on DPL2 and DPL3 (I see you listed on both, and several overlapping members on each extension's page). At current both DPL2/third-party and DPL3 have been flagged as incompatible with MediaWiki 1.35 (LTS) due to lack of actor support (see: T267824 and T6402), causing database errors and as such has been flagged as incompatible on the extension page and not recommended for use on production wikis. We decided to switch back to DPL2 from DPL3 for testing, then discovered that DPL built-in variables also no longer work in surrogate/phantom templates under MediaWiki 1.35. We get the literal text output for the %PAGE% and other built-in variables, instead of the value of those variables as documented. We rely fairly heavily on surrogate/phantom templates to retrieve template parameter values, in combination with built-in dpl variables and parser functions and I see on wikiapiary there are about 600 wiki currently using DPL2/3. We're trying to determine if we need to stay at 3.33, or downgrade to 3.31 LTS in lieu of the current LTS not being supported. Is there any way that users can donate to the project in the hopes of an update for compatibility with the current release of MediaWiki? Or can someone lend insight as to if there are plans to continue maintaining the extension? Thanks! TiltedCerebellum (talk) 04:04, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I haven't worked on that extension for over a decade. I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question. -- IlyaHaykinson (talk) 18:20, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
