Random Number BBCode
Well, I wrote this, and I sometimes have a use for random numbers (long story...), so I decided to release it.
Just import the product, you should know what to do by now, vb 3.5 has been out. Use in posts by [rand] (will be a number 0-9) UPDATE: product-randombbcodenochange.xml will make it so that the number stays what it is at after posting, and product-randomnumberbbcode.xml makes it so that at each refresh, it is a different number |
This would be nice for forum-games, like a dice :)
I won't be installing now but I'll think about it later :) Does it produce integers only? Is the random number created at once or changes each time sb refreshes the page? Anyway thanks for sharing :) |
It changes each time the page refreshes, and it produces integers 0-9 only.
|
Ohh then it wouldn't very good for a dice.
Anyway I'm sure many people will like it :) |
Thanks!
I could make a version that doesn't change every time easily though, if you want (Obviously, all I need to do is make it replace on post instead of on view) |
I'll ask the other admin if he likes it too and if so I'll tell you so that you don't do it for no reason :)
|
Well, I am already done...I will upload if you want it or if anyone else does
EDIT: Uploaded |
I like it...now I just gotta figure out a game to use it on ;)
|
I like this but is it possible for the random number to be higher? For example, I sometimes have contests on my forum. At this time, I have just over 1900 members. I would like to be able to choose a random number between 1 and 19XX or whatever the membership number is.

Edit: Oh, I just saw that you want the number to represent the member number... That would need a query and right now I don't have time to format it for you :o |
Actually Michelle, I don't think he meant that....he just wanted like a raffle I think.
Anyways, nice hack, I'll bookmark it and if I ever need it I will install it :) |

Hello,
A raffle is when a random number string is collected and the user that holds that random number wins a prize. In essence, it is a lottery governed by the gambling laws. I too would like to use this for something similar. In order for this to work for a raffle though, it would need to make sure it doesn't generate the same number in a thread. If all numbers have been taken, it would need to "close" automatically. If this modification could generate these random numbers after a payment of somesort has been made. (Like integrating it with the PP donations hack), it would make for a great raffle system. |
so how do i actually install this? just upload the xml file? to where? no other changes need to be made anywhere?
