Cataloger "random" feature doesn't work if count=1
Posted: Wed Feb 21, 2007 6:49 pm
CMSMS 1.0.4 , Cataloger 0.5.3
I want to pull one random item and display it on a page.
Using this fails:
gives seven empty item displays. Just the subtemplate code looped through 7 times with no values inserted.
Example: http://www.vaughnsphotoart.com/index.ph ... om-count-1
Using this works:
gives two random items.
Example: http://www.vaughnsphotoart.com/index.ph ... om-count-2
Here is the code of /modules/Cataloger/action.random.php ... it's short so I'm pasting the whole thing. You can see it has special code for handling when count=1 , but I'm not a programmer and can't diagnose it.
action.recent.php works fine, for what it's worth.
Thanks for any help you can give.
