?Random item order for a particular feed

Joined: 25 Feb 2006 Posts: 3

I have implemented the feedforall script succesfully on my website but am keen to modify the script so that the item order from a particular feed is a random selection - rather than simply the same order as within the xml file.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Code to do that has already been posted in this forum to do that.

Thanks for the reply.

I have searched the forum on a variety of terms including "random" and have not found an appropriate topic.

A specific post would be helpful.

A quick search on "random" shows http://www.feedforall.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=726&highlight=random . Part way down the first page the "nigelp" asks about a random selection of items. The code posted for him will do what you want.
