This is a simple action to display a random record. Possibly useful for sites wanting to keep people clicking on something.
The Controller
We find a random record, and then we reuse the current view action and template.
controllers/posts_controller.phpclass PostsController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Posts';
function random() {
// $this->Post->contain(); // use this if you are using Containable
$random = $this->Post->find('first',array(
'conditions' => array(
'Post.active'=>1,
),
'order' => 'rand()',
));
$this->view($random['Post']['id']);
$this->render('view');
}
}
var $name = 'Posts';
function random() {
// $this->Post->contain(); // use this if you are using Containable
$random = $this->Post->find('first',array(
'conditions' => array(
'Post.active'=>1,
),
'order' => 'rand()',
));
$this->view($random['Post']['id']);
$this->render('view');
}
}
