Description Zach Hilliard 2012-04-18 18:46:02 UTC
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Create Category B&R Services
2) Create some pages and make them apart of the Category B&R Services
3) Create a new page with the following DPL settings
<DPL>
category = B&R services
ordermethod = lastedit,pagetouched 
order = descending
addpagecounter = true
addeditdate =  true
</DPL>

The page should return:
Extension:DynamicPageList (DPL), version 1.8.9 : WARNING: No results.

To resolve this I removed the ampersand(&) from the title of the Category and adjusted the Category tags on the articles and all works as expected.

 
We are running MW 1.16
PHP 5.3.2
DPL v 1.8.9

MW 1.16 end of life: August 2011. Please upgrade.
Comment 2 Zach Hilliard 2012-06-13 18:41:58 UTC
This still occurs in 1.18
Comment 3 Amgine 2012-06-13 19:01:11 UTC
This refers, I believe, to Extension:DynamicPageList (third-party), not DynamicPageList (Wikimedia). WMF is not supporting that extension afaik.

The exact code *does* display a list in DynamicPageList (Wikimedia) on my 1.20.alpha install, though of course does not include the edit date, counter.
Comment 4 Zach Hilliard 2012-06-13 19:41:41 UTC
The Extension page for Dynamic Page List (Third-party) has a link for bugs here so that is why I posted on this Bugzilla.
Comment 5 Amgine 2012-06-13 19:44:42 UTC
Not a problem Zach, bugzilla is used by extension developers to maintain their software as well. However, the folks behind DPL 3rd party have not released an update afaik since 2009, which may mean they are also no longer monitoring the bugzilla.
