randomness

[PaulGrimshaw]

I would like some randomness added to actinic.

example 1: in section pages it would be cool to have a "Use Child" option similar to "Use Parent" but working the otherway around and selecting, randomly, one of the childs options (taking account if the child has "use parent" !).


example 2: A global option to randomise the order of items upon each upload (of course, for the bigger sites this could be quite a lot of changes files).

thanks,
paul.

Had to read example 1 five times in a darkened room to work out what you are trying to achieve :)

Both of these can be achieved, admittedly clunkily, with some clever use of either PHP and/or Block Ifs.... the amount of pre-upload processing required would probably kill Actinic (it is pretty poor at the moment let alone adding in some radomisation script into the mix)
