Randomize module display

Hi,

Just got Metamod Pro and I am loving it! It just works right out the box for my previous issue. Anyways, I have a question.

How could I randomize module displayed, say like 3 different modules?

What is the required code?

Please advise and thank you very much!

Re: Randomize module display

Hi Pembaris,

do a site search for "random", or see the following recipe from the recipes page:

Hope this helps,
Stephen

Re: Randomize module display

stephen,

how do I combine a randomize module $rad with other parameters like (MM_NON_LOGGED_IN) etc?

For instance, I want to randomize 2 modules just for non registered users?

thanks in advance and please advise.

Re: Randomize module display

Code:

if ( MM_NOT_LOGGED_IN ) {

 $r = rand(1,2); // get a random number: 1-2 inclusive

 if ($r == 1) return 44;

 if ($r == 2) return 88;

}
