Line 7:

In the standard configuration DPL registers the <DynamicPageList> 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 <nowiki>$dplMigrationTesting = true;</nowiki> and DPL will then only register a tag called <Intersection>.

During transitioning you may want to install DPL in parallel to 'Intersection' for testing. Simply configure add the configuration line <code><nowiki>$dplMigrationTesting = true;</nowiki></code> and DPL will then only register a tag called <Intersection>.

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

After the migration to DPL the <DynamicPageList> tag will offer exactly the same functionality as the former Extension:Intersection. Furthermore, there will be the <dpl> tag available and the <nowiki>{{#dpl: ... }}</nowiki> parser function. They will by default offer their whole functionality.

To change the parameter richness level change the configuration for:

<code>$dplSettings['functionalRichness'] = 3;</code>
