Random Number BBCode · **Released**: 10-27-2005

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

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

What is a raffle? :nervous:

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.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
