DynamicPageList (third-party) refers to CategoryPage.php which no longer exists
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When using Extension:DynamicPageList (third-party), this wikitext crashes if you use "mode=category":

<dpl>
category = Anything
mode = category
</dpl>

because DynamicPageList/DPL.php line 1484 contains this line:

require_once( 'CategoryPage.php' );

This file no longer exists in MediaWiki 1.26, I guess. Delete this line, and the problem goes away.

Uh? What did you try exactly and what was the error you got in Gerrit?

! [remote rejected] HEAD -> refs/for/master (missing Change-Id in commit message footer)

In the full output below, I see a hint to scp a hook file from gerrit, but when I ran it, I got an SSH "Permission denied (publickey)". I would like to be a good citizen and provide this patch through the supported channel, but I don't have time to figure this out....

Change 330262 had a related patch set uploaded (by Dbarrett):
Removed reference to obsolete, nonexistent file CategoryPage.php.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/330262

Finally managed to have time to get developer access, and submitted the patch above. This bug has been around for 3 releases, so hopefully this will eliminate it.
