Hi,
On fr.guildwars, i want to use a DPL query to populate a table but when i specify more than one category, theres no results.
Maybe i'm just doing something wrong so i've come here to ask a bit of help from people who kwon DPL well. Or it may be the bug with empties categories since the upgrade...
Note that i put a few lines manually in the table so it show some content because i made that page to help users of GuildWiki (mainly).
Thanks for any help. — TulipVorlax 16:18, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
- Was DPL extension used before anywhere on that wiki? This extension is disabled by default. Maybe you need to request it to be enabled on that wiki. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 16:46, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
- It is? I thought all Wikia wikis had DPLforum enabled, and since that requires DPL, that is usually enabled as well. (Though, hmm, w:c:guestbook:Special:Version has DPLforum but not DPL...)
- Anyway, DPL requires the categories to be used to be actually created (i.e. when they redlink, you're doing it wrong, edit the category page). I have created one, it works now, the others are all empty anyway. --◄mendel► 19:26, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
- DPL has been in use on fr.guildwars almost since the wiki was created. It's used on the main page to output a list of recents topics in the forum in all of it's categories. See c:fr.guildwars:Accueil:Forum2. But in that case it's done on the whole forum namespace.
- I think fr.guildwars was started before they change their way of doing things at Wikia.
- Categories used for the query are empties ? Surely not all of them.... Oh Wait ! I got it...
- The problem was the "s" at the end of the word "Compétence".
- Now another problem has showed up but that one need a local discussion, i mean, with other users there.
- Thanks ! — TulipVorlax 21:12, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
