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

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.

Try to find rand(1,9) in the plugin code and change it to rand(1,1999)

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

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