Help:Extension:DPLforum
As taken directly from the extension page on MediaWiki:
Parameters[edit]
DPLforum expects parameters in the form of a linebreak-separated list of assignments, as shown here.
<table><forum> category=CategoryName parameter1=value parameter2=value </forum></table> |
Content parameters[edit]
- category={page}: Adds a category to the set of categories. Only pages that belong to each of these categories will be displayed.
- notcategory={page}: Adds a category to the set of exclusions. Pages that are Not in these categories will be displayed.
- namespace={text}: Specifies the namespace in which to search. Only one namespace may be specified.
- prefix={text}: Specifies a prefix to match in the title. Only pages whose titles begin with the specified prefix will be displayed. (New in version 3.1)
- start={number}: Excludes the first {number} results from the listing.
- count={number}: Lists no more than {count} results. Currently limited up to 50 results, but the results aren't limited to 50 if this parameter is not specified.
- title={page}: If specified, this object becomes a forum-style link to the given page. Other parameters still apply.
Structural parameters[edit]
- mode: Specifies the mode of output.
- mode=table: Default. Displays each entry in a <tr> block. <table> tags are not included, so that each table may be given custom properties.
- mode=list: Displays each entry in a <li> block. As above, tags such as <ol> or <ul> are omitted.
- mode=none: Only separates entries with a <br /> tag.
- mode=count: Returns only the number of entries that match the given parameters. (New in version 3.2)
- compact: Allows for individual <td> tags to be combined together where appropriate.
- compact=author: Combines the Title and Author cells.
- compact=editor: Combines the Edit and Editor cells.
- compact=all: Combines both.
- addcreationdate=true: Displays each entry's date of creation.
- addauthor=true: Displays the original author of each entry.
- addlasteditor=true: Displays the last editor of each entry.
- addlastedit=false: Hides each entry's last edit time; shown by default.
Output parameters[edit]
- ordermethod: Specifies the order in which entries are listed.
- ordermethod=lastedit: Default. Sorts entries by the last time they were edited.
- ordermethod=created: Sorts entries by the time of their creation.
- ordermethod=pageid: Sorts entries by their ID numbers; usually equivalent to created.
- historylink: Provides a link to each entry's history.
- historylink=embed: Transforms the Edit field into a history link.
- historylink=append: Appends the history link onto the Edit field.
- omit={text}: Omits the given text from the beginning of each entry's title.
- order=ascending: Reverses the sort order.
- newdays={number}: Marks all links to entries modified less than {number} days ago with class='forum_new'; defaults to 7.
- timestamp=false: Removes timestamp values from the page links. Timestamps ensure that newly-edited entries don't appear as "visited" links.
- cache=true: Saves the results of this object to the parser cache. This is false by default unless DPLForum::requireCache is set to true.
Multipage support with #forumlink[edit]
The #forumlink parser function creates links to the present page which offset the forum listings by a certain amount. This allows each forum to contain any number of additional "pages". The syntax is as follows:
{{#forumlink:count|page|text}}
- count represents the number of topics per page.
- page specifies the page number, either as an absolute value or a relative offset.
- text sets the link text. If this is left blank, the page number is used instead.
Relative offsets and page conditions[edit]
When specifying the page, if the number is preceded by + or -, then it is assumed to be a relative offset from the present position. Relative links which would link to pages less than 1 are not displayed.
You may also optionally specify a condition after the page number, which the page must meet in order to be displayed.
For example, to specify a link to the next page when that page is less than 10, use:
{{#forumlink:30|+1<10|Next page}}
A link to the previous page (assuming count=50):
{{#forumlink:50|-1>0|Previous page}}
In conjunction with ParserFunctions, a link to the next page, that won't be displayed when you reach the last page, would be (assuming count=50, only one category specified in category and notcategory is not used):
{{#forumlink:50|+1<{{#expr: ceil ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:{{PAGENAME}}|R}}/50) +1 }}|Next page}}
Conditions may use the <, <=, >, and >= operators.
