Hello,

I was pleased to discover your TF Random Module for Joomla, however I must admit I am confused by it. I want to display a random article from a pool of two categories, but I cannot get the module to show up even without any filtering options. I think it's because I have no idea what to put in the Article ID box- its existence confuses me. Could you please help?

Thanks,

Steve

Hello

Article ID is the id of the article that is displayed by random. Initially, you can set any desired id to check the display of the module. Then, it will change automatically.

At present, you can display random article from any one category. Very soon, we will add the functionality to include more than one category.

Hello,

I still can't get anything to show up. If I put some text in the pre or post text fields that will appear in the right spot, but nothing else. Attached find my configuration, please let me know what I'm doing wrong.

Also, what do I put in the "where field" box to select a category?

Thanks,

Steve

To display title, add Html tag in Display like this:

• Html Tag: h2; Column: title 

To select article from particular category, add in conditions,

• Where field: catid; Operator: =; Value: Id of the category
