DynamicPageList3 contains all functionality of the Intersection extension and previous versions of DynamicPageList. Standardization has been applied to various parameters to make them use consistent behavior so minor tweaking may be necessary to queries when migrating from DynamicPageList 1 or 2.
 
= Migration Aid from Extension:Intersection=
 
In the standard configuration DPL registers the <DynamicPageList> tag. This is needed to be downward compatible with extension 'Intersection'.
 
During transitioning youit may wantbe desirable to install DPL in parallel to 'Intersection' for testing. Simply configure addAdd the configuration line <code><nowiki>$dplMigrationTesting = true;</nowiki></code> before the extension inclusion 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 <nowiki>$dplMigrationTesting</nowiki> line.
 
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 <code><nowiki>{{#dpl: ... }}</nowiki></code> parser function. They will by default offer their whole functionality. Please see the section below for configuring DynamicPageList to use more restrictive functionality.
