hello im trying to generate random posts/content in my sidebar widget, i made some research an i found that i have to use shuffle to do that, but i don’t know how to make it work can someone please help me by editing the code below, i tried doing it by my self but every time i push the changes if fa…

hello, this what i use for showing 6 random quotes from press reviews with quotes, when I build the site. Data from /data/fr/press.yml {{ $datafr := index site.Data "fr" }} {{ with $datafr.press }} {{ if .enable }}  …

Hi @SamHamou This line of code fetches your content / posts and gets a default of 10 posts {{- range first $recent_num $recent }} What @divinerites example … would mean you just need to add shuffle to the query like this : you might need to try this - to get much older posts than the first 10 {…

when i used range first and added shuffle in the end it worked but it only randomized the first posts and didn’t show the oldest one, and when i removed first i got this error 12:48:58 PM: Building sites … ERROR 2020/09/05 12:48:58 render of “page” failed: execute of template failed: templat…

@SamHamou try this …  {{ $filteredPosts := where .Site.RegularPages "Type" "in" site.Params.mainSections }} {{ $relatedPosts := shuffle $filteredPosts | first 3 }} {{- if $recent }} <div class="widget-recent widget"> <h4 class="widget__title">{{ T "rec…

with the code above i got this error 1:17:07 PM: Error: "/opt/build/repo/themes/Feed/layouts/partials/widgets/recent.html:6:1": parse failed: template: partials/widgets/recent.html:6: undefined variable "$recent"

My Bad … sorry I was trying to match my code to your CSS / Styles change out this line … {{- if $recent }} so it looks like this … {{- if $relatedPosts }}

@SamHamou just remember hugo is a static site generator so its not going to be really RANDOM Once the page is generated - the content is FIXED

thank you very much it’s working now :smile:

@sephore - yes I was just scanning through all their posts and see there is a common thread @SamHamou - to help the community, try to explain what you have read on Hugo Docs or searched here on discourse … and if you find a solution yourself – share it in Tips
