Hi,

I’m having some trouble with an order_by=“random” parameter in one of my templates. I’m running 2.3.1.

Here’s my code:

{exp:channel:entries channel='commodities' disable='trackbacks|pagination' dynamic='no' limit='2' order_by='random' category='{this_month_id}'}
    <article class="span6">
     <a href="http://{page_url}">{exp:channel_images:images entry_id="{entry_id}" limit="1"}{image:url:medium}{/exp:channel_images:images}</a>
     <a href="http://{page_url}"><em>{title}</em></a>
    </article>
   {/exp:channel:entries}

The tag is outputting everything correctly, but it is always the same two entries. I have checked and I don’t have caching turned on in the template. Can anyone point to how I might make it start randomly pulling the entries?

Thanks,

Brian

Hey brianrivet,

Thank you for posting your question.

Please change

order_by=

to

orderby=

Cheers,

ugh. Thanks. I’ve been looking at this too long apparently.

Glad Shane could help! 😊

Have a good one, Brian.
