Possibly bug with %random_url% and %random_anchor_text%

zuzuzuzu

Sven I have a problem with  %random_url% and %random_anchor_text%. They don't
work for me. I tried to inset them directly in Article field and then
in separate article file but results are the same - test window shows
nothing.

The same time %url% and %anchor_text% work fine in both
cases  - directly in the GSA and in separate article file. For me
problem is in random_

I think I know why - this is because my "Anchor Text" field in project window is empty coz I have anchor in URL like the following format:
http://www.myurl1.com#anchortext1
http://www.myurl2.com#anchortext2
http://www.myurl3.com#anchortext3

%random_url% and %random_anchor_text% can not retrieve URL and anchor text in such case but %url% and %anchor_text% do it perfectly. It's a bug?

yes even i am facing this same problem %random_url% is not working.. i mean its not pulling the urls at all
%link% works very well but it puts the same links 3 times in an article...

Hmm just tested it here, found a bug in latest version so hopefully it fixes it for you in next one (will release it in some minutes).

hey seven i  checked the latest ver 5.12. Still %random_url% macro not working for me.In test mode it doesn't display anything..

Sven

It's just a test issue

Yes, 5.12 version visually didn't differ from previous version because test in window %random_url%and anchor look the same, but Sven swears that it works indeed and it's only test window issue. Let's check it with submission

I think this issue is still there..%random_url% not working in test Hope its just in test and actually its working when submitting articles

btw do we need random_url tag as I read somewhere that %url% tag if used multiple times still produce random urls? is that correct or we have to use one %url% tag and for more urls need %random_urls%

Sven

you can use %url% only and it will also randomize it's content
