New Macro - %random_paragraph-%

2Take2

Hi @sven,

Is there any chance that you could add the macro %random_paragraph-<varname>%  to the software if it doesn't exist already?

Would be useful to be able to add a couple of random paragraphs from an article for certain platforms that don't quite support a full one.

Thanks

Sven

wouldn't it be easier if you just use the mix article setting to mix paragraphs automatically when placing an article?

Hi @sven,

I see what you mean, but I want to use the macro in other fields in the 'data' tab, like 'forum' and 'about me', for example.

At the moment I just stick %first_paragraph-<varname>% in there, but ideally I'd like to be able to have 1 or 2 more paragraphs of relevant text in those fields as well.

Unless I'm missing something?

Sven

try this: %first_paragraph$random_articlemix1$%

Thanks Sven, I'll give that a try instead.

@Sven - is this modifiable? i.e. %second_paragraph$random_articlemix1$%

Sven

no and it would be useless anyway as that articlemix macro is already shuffeling the paragraphs.

This doesn't work when you press the Test button  at the bottom of the campaign window.

How about a macro that automatically ranks my site, lol, %site_name%:<rank>, example, http://mysite.com:1

Will %first_paragraph$random_articlemix1$% work with guestbook engines for example?
Those ini files don't use %article% variable right?

I'm asking because when I try this it's not working. I"m using version 9.85 (latest) and my output looks like this.

%first_paragraph article goes here and the whole article is inserted

Sven

you are missing the dash...

%first_paragraph-$random_articlemix1$%
