Compatibility

DynamicPageList3 contains all functionality of the Intersection extension and previous versions of DynamicPageList.

= Migration Aid =

In the standard configuration DPL registers the &lt;DynamicPageList&gt; tag. This is needed to be downward compatible with extension 'Intersection'.

During transitioning you may want to install DPL in parallel to 'Intersection' for testing. Simply configure add the configuration line  and DPL will then only register a tag called &lt;Intersection&gt;.

With this configuration try changing some of the existing calls of 'Intersection' (which use the &lt;DynamicPageList&gt; tag) to the &lt;Intersection&gt; tag. Once the data has been tested and verified that it produces identical results simply remove the $dplMigrationTesting line.

=Levels of Functionality=

After the migration to DPL the &lt;DynamicPageList&gt; tag will offer exactly the same functionality as the former Extension:Intersection. Furthermore, there will be the &lt;dpl&gt; tag available and the  parser function. They will by default offer their whole functionality.

To change the parameter richness level change the configuration for:

There are five levels of parameter richness from 0 to 4. Enabling a numerically higher richness level enables all the parameters in the levels below it as well. The levels are defined in the ParametersData class and copied here for quick reference.


 * Level 0 - Identical functionality to Intersection extension.
 * Level 1 - Includes additional formatting and output options.
 * Level 2 - Database query refinement parameters that have minimal performance impact. Also includes parameters for content transclusion.
 * Level 3 - More query parameters that can have a higher database impact and should be carefully tested for performance impacts.
 * Level 4 - A few features for development purposes and batch updating. Not recommend to be enabled on public web sites.
