Hi Prism. I'm not a radiant expert, but I think I might be able to help.
<r:children:each> can be used to gather information about each of the child pages of a given parent page. The results are not necessarily random -- the order of the child pages can be specified in attributes of the <r:children:each> tag. However, you could generate a list of links like this: <r:find url="parent_page"> <ul> <r:children:each> <li><r:link other_attributes... /></li> </r:children:each> </ul> </r:find> The <r:random> tag, on the other hand, randomly selects 1 item from a collection of items specified by <r:option> tags. Here's a simple example of how I used it to have a random banner image displayed on a Christmas event page: <r:random> <r:option><p><r:assets:image title="christmas-1" size="original" /></p></r:option> <r:option><p><r:assets:image title="christmas-2" size="original" /></p></r:option> <r:option><p><r:assets:image title="christmas-3" size="original" /></p></r:option> <r:option><p><r:assets:image title="christmas-4" size="original" /></p></r:option> </r:random> When someone visits the page, they will see one of the "christmas-x" images. The next time, it might be a different one. Hope this helps. -- marshal On Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 11:32 PM, prism <ctang.1...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I want to generate a list of links pointing to articles that are randomly > generated from <r:children:each>.
