Examples/Parameter: scroll (example 1)

Please do not edit this page unless you're wanting to edit the manual itself, it is an example included in the manual.

Example

This selects pages from Category:Fruit examples which has a number of results. The count displays the first 3 articles, the offset doesn't change the article count offset because it's set to zero; setting both using a URL variables instead of a number, allows their query values to overwritten. The scroll parameter enables scrolling and changes to the DPL3 query (for changing the values for count and offset in order to scroll). The resultsheader displays some header text along with the count and current page start number. Setting allowcachedresults=false prevents caching, so result changes are immediately seen without the need to manually purge the cache.

The result is a static display of pages, adding two URL &DPL_count=3&DPL_offset=3 to the end of the (index.php-style) URL seen below, causes the contents of the DPL3 query on-page to change; the next 3 results in the result set are displayed. You can copy/paste the following URL into your web browser to see the result change.
