DPL3 Produces Errors when Categories are Called On

I have DPL3 enabled on my Wiki so I can have category pages that are sorted by the last edited date except when filling out the parameter for categories, it spits back this error https://pastebin.com/s0cKgKJC

I’ll take a look tonight It’s probably something to do with a SQL config flag

I don't have anything with it currently but anytime trying to call the extension by catetories

I can't reproduce can you find a page it occurs on?

@Thomas I'm finding it won't actually save the page when the error occurs so I had to transclude it from a template to get it to show up: https://loveanddeepspace.wikioasis.org/wiki/Events It's pulling from Template:DPL just for example. The template is using {{#dpl: |category=Events }} Which is a category that exists. For what it's worth, the extension itself works, as I'm able to use other functions that don't actually attempt to pull from a category or anything like that Let me know if there's any other information I can give

I'll do some proper research into it later but I'm not completely sure it might be something to do with your template not sure I'll see if it's a sql flag did it work before the big migration

I don't believe I used it before the move. I only put it into a template so it would save and show the error. If I just try to use the dpl parser tags and it's defined by a category, that's the error that pops up. But it won't let you actually save the page with that error which is why I used the template, just so you could see what the error was.

I've been having the same issue as well. Particularly with Module:I18n. Given the error message, I believe it may indeed be an SQL flag.

I'll take a look tonight at whichever config flag it is I’ll see if updating to dpl4 fixes this I'll do this on the weekend when I have more time btw lol sorry for the delays

Did you get a chance to do this? I didn't see DPL4 as an extension option so I figured not but thought I'd check

Does @すずねーう or another tech team member have a chance to?

Even if just trying to upgrade to DPL4 to see if that fixes things. It's not super critical and I totally get life being busy 🙂

I've been getting a similar issue. I have DPL3 and even the basic template code given by MediaWiki's own site is not compiling on my wiki

Standard DPL does render without that error but obvious has fewer options haha
Guy of Wealth and Taste
I think something got triggered with my DPL settings but now I can't access any of the extensions at all

generally the mediawiki side of stuff used to be done by waki but I'm slowly taking it over as he becomes less active lol

Sorry I don't have much time here due to student activities. I will try to address if the system I have built has problem, but I don't know if I can get to anything else

Did you find this page helpful?
