I did that all the time in Drupal 6 using Views. It's dead simple. (Order random limit 1, done.) I haven't tried doing it in Drupal 7, but I'm sure the same method still works. --Larry Garfield On Sunday, January 23, 2011 1:33:34 pm Blaine Lang wrote:
I have a need for a block that will display a random quote. Node type = 'random_quote' and only 1 random record should be displayed
In D7 the body contents are in field_data_body and I have it working using the DB API but it would probably be better using the entityController class methods like 'entity_load'
I see that you can pass in conditions but is it possible to return a single random record?
Does anyone with more experience with the new EntityController have any recommendations?
Thanks!
