Hi all,
On the ezwiki site, there's a patch for RC2 for a sort of random template function. The file is not available anymore, so is this already in 3.0.1 ?
I want to display a random product on my frontpage. How can I accomplish this ? I already have a fetch function which pulls out one product, but it's always the same (read: the first). Can someone help me out here ?
Thanks,Mark

There's no template operator for random numbers in eZ publish 3.0.If anyone feel up to it they could make it and upload it to contributions, it shouldn't be too hard to make.
The key here is to use the rand function in phphttp://www.php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php

Just use PHP's shuffle function on your array.
Create a template operator, and callshuffle($operatorValue);
now you can {section loop=fetch(...)|shuffle} ... {/section}in your templates

I have made a template rand operator that use PHP rand function as suggest Jan. You put {rand(0,5)} in your template and you get a random integer between 0 and 5. It's my first extension, and it works !Should I upload in contributions ?

I have created the shuffle operator and uploaded it to the contributions folder.
it can be found here:

I don't know if you ever uploaded your version, but I couldn't find it, so I uploaded this one, to help other people out.
