Help talk:DPL Examples/Test table

Creating a table with list-separators

Can I (how can I) use %TITLE%, %COUNT%, etc. with table? --Dmb 01:16, 17 September 2007 (CEST)

Inside the phantom template you can use these variables. But you can also use them directly in the DPL statement. Gero 12:27, 17 September 2007 (CEST).

You can even write something like:

{{#dpl:
 |ordermethod=lastedit
 |namespace=Help
 |order=descending
 |addeditdate=true
 |addcategories=true
 |adduser=true
 |addpagesize=true
 |mode=userformat
 |titlematch=%
 |lastrevisionbefore=3000
 |listseparators=¶{¦class="sortable" ¶!article ¶!categories ¶!date ¶!author ¶!size,¶¦-¶¦[http://{{SERVERNAME}}/dpldemo/index.php?title=%NAMESPACE%:²{#urlencode:%TITLE%}²&action=history %TITLE%]¶¦<small>%CATNAMES%</small>¶¦%DATE%¶¦%USER%¶¦%SIZE%,¶,¶¦}
 |secseparators=\n¦
 |count=20
}}

This will give you the latest modifications in the main namespace and in Talk in a nice format. The link will open the diff in a new window.

Table with a column for each article?

How can I create a table with a column for each article? I have tested with Table#columns, but it did not work for me. Thank you --Pdcemulator 08:44, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Name	Some Article 1	Some Article 2	Some Article 3
Value 1	some value 1-1-1	some value 2-1-1	some value 3-1-1
Value 3	some value 1-3-1	some value 2-3-1	some value 3-3-1

I am afraid there is no way to do this with DPL. DPL walks through the articles and tables are built line-wise, nbot column-wise. Maybe you can find a MW extension which flips a table as a whole? In that case you could wrap the DPL call by that extension. Gero 20:56, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

If you have the VariablesExtension installed, you can make a query and store the results in variablename%NR% for each matching page. Afterwards use these variables in a standard wikitable:

note: in this example, variablenames are hard-coded; you can also do something like a loop --WiMu 14:58, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Using parameters

I would like do something like this:

 |namespace=Glossary
 |include= {Some Template}:parm1:parm2:[[parm3|parm4]]
 

I have created a namespace for a Glossary and would like to use one parameter as an internal link to some article elsewhere in the Wiki.

The whole thing works for the first two parms, but of course not for the internal links. How could that be done? Im thinking of something like "replace parm4 by [[parm3|parm4]]" but do not know how and at which place to get the parm into a regular expression ...

You should use a phantom template. See the manual and various examples available here. Within that template you can do whatever you want with the parameters. See the example below:
