[TYPO3] Random Content

Hi All,

I'm attempting to have a page load random content (from a list of  
content id's).

In my template I have ###THE_LISTS##
which is populated as follows (content id 302 in this case)

marks.THE_LISTS = RECORDS
   marks.THE_LISTS {
   tables = tt_content
   source = 302
  }

I would like it to randomly select the content id to populate from a  
list.

This is a hack and probably (obviously) won't work but it might get  
the point across?


my_random_record = random[302,303,304,305,306,307]

marks.THE_LISTS = RECORDS
   marks.THE_LISTS {
   tables = tt_content
   source = {$my_random_record}
  }
