[pmwiki-users] Randomize Pages

[[] Jamie]

I wondered if there is a recipe for randomising extracts of page 
content? On my wiki home page I'd like to insert a box taking up a 
quarter of the page, or half a paragraph, which text wrapping round it, 
and for the recipe to grab the first three lines or so of a random page. 
That way whenever a visitor hits the home page they see a bordered box 
with constantly changing content.

If I've not explained that very clearly then please take a look at the 
homepage to my website (not the wiki). If you hit refresh you'll see 
that the image, the quote in the top right and the 'Random Log Entry' 
all change every time the page refreshes. It's a lazy way of making the 
page look dynamic I guess.

As an adjunct to this I wondered if there is a way of including only an 
extract of a page, rather than the whole page?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jamie
