Re: Randomly ordered images permlinked to their respective articles...

I don’t think that’s a problem with what I suggested – it runs on article IDs until the last moment, when a link is output.
Sure, but what you suggest either (with limit="1") outputs one image per article, or (without limit) leaves them grouped by article. That’s not what Stacey wants, and you obtain the same result with
<txp:article_custom sort="rand()">
<txp:if_article_image>
<txp:images sort="rand()">
<txp:permlink><txp:image /></txp:permlink>
</txp:images>
</txp:if_article_image>
</txp:article_custom>But if you do need a delimiter with adi_list then use
separator="|"or some such and changedefault_separatorto be something different (it defaults to"|").
Good to know, I haven’t found separator attribute on your site.

Must’ve misunderstood, I thought one random image from one random article was the requirement.

separatorattribute on your site.
I’ll look into that, thanks.

I love it that there are so many different ways to do things. When I first read the question I thought “that’s a tough one”, but our collective input adds more ideas to the pool.
Oleg, you’re right: I had assumed rah_repeat would support sort="rand()". Would need trying…
adi_list is another one I’ve overlooked – must try that out sometime.

This is something that should be kept on TXP Tips for posterity. But who is the author…?!

Looks like a good occasion to test your “switch author” plugin, Jonathan. ;)

I’m not sure if the question is fully answered yet. I’d like to hear from photonomad what code he used and if we can see the result online.

Take a look at Stacey site, the problem seems solved. I suggest we ask Stacey to write a tip.
