Talk:MW: Dynamic Article List for PHP4

From ChekMate Security Group

Refresh

I've installed this and it works great, however the page only seems to update if someone changes their skin or I touch LocalSettings.php

Obviously I'm a newbie at this -- could you tell me how to fix it? Thanks!

Hmm, do you have the most recent version? It should invalidate the cache on each execution. Check to see if your version matches the one hosted here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Article_List_for_PHP4 --- smcnaught (13:51, 22 September 2006 (MDT))

That's the one I installed. The cache does refresh, it's just not an immediate thing. I'm using MediaWiki 1.6. BTW we're also using your blog, although we call it "tlog", and it's great! Roan

I am not exactly sure as to why this would be happening. I have not experienced this issue before or heard of anyone else experiencing it. Does it only occur with this extension? Is your site a publicly accessible site that I would be able to check out and do some investigations on? I do not believe MediaWiki 1.6 is the issue as I have other extensions that I have build that perform the same functionality and have been tested on all versions including the 1.7 versions. If it is clearing the cache then it should be executing the code to update the counters, unless I am not completely understanding the issue. Please let me know. --- smcnaught (23:27, 22 September 2006 (MDT))

• Hallo, how to delete the "username" in your dynamic article list extension? I dont't want to see who has changed an article. --Lou 01:50, 6 December 2006 (MST)

• I can't get this extension to work. Has it been tested with MediaWiki 1.8.2?

Extension distorts Monobook skin in MW 1.93

Although the extension appears to be working, as soon as enable in in local settings with

require_once("extensions/DynamicArticleList.php"); 

All of my pages appear to have expanded by 150%. On some pages like "help", the navigation bar disappears.

Have any ideas?

--TDeeming 06:15, 6 August 2007 (MDT) Frankly speaking... it started working, but I don't know what caused it. First I copied the information from this file into a file called DynamicArticleList2.php and then changed the include once... After I changed myskin to something else and then back again... it started working...

• I tried the old file, which I had taken from the MediaWiki site... and it didn't work... So I thought that there must be a difference... Later I copied the contents of this site into the "DynamicArticleList.php" and it still didn't work... and later I went back to media wiki site copied into this file... it worked.

So I have it working now... but don't have any idea what was wrong before... nor what I did to correct it.

• Maybe a restart of the server would help.
