Random news items

Permalink
Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to show a random newsitem on my home page?

My sitemap contains a page (news) with subpages (news items)

My homepage contains a Page List Block, but I want to show a different news item everytime I reload the page...

Anyone?

Thanks!
Luca

Well the ugly method for this would be to use either the Stack Randomizer add on or even the Randomizer block.
The reason it is ugly is you would need to put your news in the stack, but once in they can randomise to your hearts content.

Just a thought

Hi, thanks! Yes I checked into that possibility, however there are already so many neww items, that putting them all into a stack would be very intensive...

Hi,

Given the current Page List abilities, you might have to overload the block.
