Does one exist?  I couldn't find anything under the module section.

Thanks,

Hi Matt,

Search function is a really good friend :) - try to search with "random" in CMSms Forge.

And you will found

Thanks, but I'm unfortunately looking for something that's more user friendly.  The administrator for the website in question does not have or know FTP.  Maybe a random text module can't be done at this point in a user friendly way.

You can upload files with CMSms admin panel too (menu contents > Filemanager).

But as I said Search is really your friend - there exists another tool named Random Content Blob

http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/randomblob/

which outputs a random Global Content Block (menu content > global content blocks).

I did search and find those, but don't think creating 50 content blocks would be the more efficient solution either for what we're looking to do.  :-)  I'm really looking for a standalone self-contained database module.  Thanks anyway.  I'd create the module myself, but just don't have the time.

The Questions module could be used for this (with some minor tweaks).

It'd be a relatively simple modification, and I'd be willing to do it for a minor fee.
