How-To Enable Random News Posts on vBAdvanced
01-17-2006, 10:00 PM
I searched and didn't see this here, apologies if it's in the wrong spot. With so many of us running vBA, I believe it's appropriate. This is for vBA 2.x running on 3.5.3, untested otherwise. To enable random news posts from your news forum: Edit: news.php Find: Code:
ORDER BY " . iif($mod_options['portal_news_sticky'], 'sticky DESC,') . iif($mod_options['portal_news_orderby'] == 'postdateline', 'dateline', $mod_options['portal_news_orderby']) . " $mod_options[portal_news_direction] Code:
ORDER BY RAND() |

I have 3 blocks of news and I would like that in only one of them. However they all use the same news.php. Can you think of a way to accomplish this?

Works a trick, but I have a question.
It doesn't actually select a random post for me, but rather the first post of a random thread. Have I done something wrong, or is there a way to change it further so it selects an actual random post??? Thanks for this, BTW - It is very helpful. |
