Hi Eric.
Do it using TypoScript. That way you have full control over what is
displayed.
Example:
-- cut --
lib.randomContent = COA_INTlib.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() } renderObj = COA renderObj { 10
= TEXT 10.field = bodytext 10.crop = 200 | ... | 1
10.parseFunc = < lib.parseFunc_RTE } }}-- cut --
