Hi Terry,

To do that you'd basically just use a list viewer, and then set these options:

$options['perPage'] = '1'; // only show 1 banner
$options['pageNum'] = '1'; // show first result
$options['where'] = '1'; // ignore keyword searches
$options['orderBy'] = 'RAND()'; // sort randomly

That will list all the records, sort them randomly, and show you the first one.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!

Dave,
I'm struggling making this work. So, do I use the code from the same list viewer used to make the listings appear normally and save as a new file name, then place that file code on a page where I want the banner to appear?

And as far as "setting the list viewer options" - is that in section 1, section 2 or section 3 of the list viewer code. I really am a neophyte when it comes to scripts and coding...except I'm really good with html and seo work.

You'd have 2 list viewers on the same page, and you would update the options in STEP 1.

Hope that helps, let me know if I can provide more details.

I do need some assistance. I'm missing something simple to you. I sent you a separate email on this.
