This snippet can be used to display random content elements from tt_content (stored in a sysfolder or a regular page)

lib.randomContent = COA_INT
lib.randomContent {
  10 = CONTENT
  10 {
    table = tt_content
    select {
                 # ID of the page where your content elements are stored
      pidInList = 30
                 # Number of content elements to show
      max = 2
      orderBy = rand()
    }
  }
}

When you use this snippet, remember that content-elements of USER_INT type or other non-cached will not be rendered. This is due to COA_INT not being able to contain ex. USER_INT. COA_INT will automatically make the child elements non-cached

This could be more correct in multilanguage websites:
lib.randomContent {
10 = CONTENT
10 {
table = tt_content
select {
elements are stored
pidInList = 30
languageField = sys_language_uid
max = 2
orderBy = rand()
}
}
}

Thank you very much for this snippet, that's exactly what I was searching for. But... unfortunately it doesn't work. What, for example, are those content elements in the sysfolder? Are they simple records? Or files?

I would really appreciate any help, because I simply don't know any solution, as I just intented many things...

Greets,
Adrian

Your cranium must be protecting some very valuable brinas.
