Random Link (resolved)
I did a search but a lot of the topics on this were old. I want to use the Link tab in TXP to store, links. In the place it gets used, I need to limit=“1”, and set it to random, as well set the category. The current TXP tag for links do not do this, right? I couldn’t find a plugin that does it either. I know I could use a custom field and article_custom, but I want to keep the articles section of my site clean. the link section isn’t be used so I figure why not?

Re: Random Link (resolved)
Like this?
<txp:linklist category="yourcat" limit="1" sort="rand()">
<txp:link />
</txp:linklist>Offline
Re: Random Link (resolved)
fantastic! now i just need to replace <txp:link /> with a plugin that will strip away all the html, because i just want the plain URL outputted.
EDIT: looks like <txp:link_url /> should do the trick
