Two forms, each display 50% of the time
I have a requirement to display the output of a Textpattern form 50% of the time. There are two forms – each would display half the time.
This may be an easy one, but an obvious Textpattern tag hasn’t yet occurred to me.
Ideas?

You should precise what half the time means: randomly with 1/2 probability (easy), or alternatively. In the latter case, should it be per user (more tricky)?

The “easy” path will be fine.

Then you create, say, form1 and form2 and call
<txp:output_form form='form<txp:php>echo rand(1,2);</txp:php>' />This should call each one half of time in average.
Edit: and if you need to name the forms differently, this should do:
<txp:variable name="form" trim>
<txp:php>
$forms = ['first_form', 'second_form'];
echo $forms[rand(0,1)];
</txp:php>
</txp:variable>
<txp:output_form form='<txp:variable name="form" />' />Offline

Sweet. Thank you, I’ll be trying this out tomorrow.
