Random content AND a link together?

oldfolk · Post by **oldfolk** » Mon 25. Oct 2004, 04:06

Greetings - I know how to do random images with corresponding links in javascript and/or in php but not in phpwcms.

I can't figure out how to get the [ID:##] link to work with the images using the random content module.

I'm hoping there is some function built into the random content feature that I haven't discovered?

Please let me know if I need to just hack something out on my own or if capability already exists.

thanks peeps

PS my regrets if this is posted in the wrong section.

I guess no response means it can't be done huh?

well will post what I come up with for a work around when I get a chance. Right now my bonsai are yelling for my attention and I need a 'code break'

Like to see this one.
How about a twist on it like:

{RANDOM:picture/random_175:4}

where 4 would be the number of rotated images to show ina vertical layout.

I just wanted to follow up and let anyone interested know that I wasn't able to get a random image with link mod to work but was able to use an external script easily by utilizing phpwcms replacement tags.

It isn't the best solution because it requires a text file with an image and corresponding link, it's easy but will not just work automatically. Using the random .php file I incorporated it into my site like this:

{PHP:randparks.php}

If anyone has a more palpable solution let me know.
