In your home page controller:

function randShowcase() {
$random = rand(1, 4);
$field = 'Showcase'.$random;
return $this->$field;
}

so in your template you can call $randShowcase

Randomizing Custom Content

Enclave — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 21:24:28 +1200

Hi Guys

I had a look at some of the posts on random content but nothing really answers what I would like to do.

I created 4 new fields in the db and cms for my HomePage.php page model. Showcase1-4. I have added content to Showcase1-4 and call them as $Showcase1, $Showcase2 in my view. I would like to randomize the actual content being shown ie only one showcase between $Showcase1 and $Showcase4 should be shown at any one time.

Is this possible?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
