The DynamicPageList extension allows authors to use categories to automatically generate dynamic bullet lists of links to other wiki articles. This is an easy way to create a "Related Links" section in a wiki article. The lists are dynamic in that they are created each time an article loads and will automatically update depending on the configuration of this list. DP lists differ from SubPageLists or SP lists in that categories, not sub-directories, are used to populate the lists.

  • DP lists include those articles added to specified categories most recently
  • Multiple categories can be specified in

Example 1

Here is a simple example of a DP list that displays This code...

<DynamicPageList>
category = D2L
count = 5
order = ascending
addfirstcategorydate = true
</DynamicPageList>

...generates this list

No pages meet these criteria.
