I need to add a random class from a selection of pre-defined classes to the body tag of a template.

I did it with JS but the change is visible so I would like to do it before the page is rendered.

Any ideas?

Many thanks Mikee

You could use Low Random maybe?

{exp:low_random:item items="cat|dog|ferret|raptor"}

Low Random looks like it'd do the job.

Inefficient I guess but you could use channel entries with a random sort order, a matrix field with the same or I think Low Variables would be the most efficient way.

  • Do you mean that Low Random will be inefficient or using channel entries? – MikeeBee Jul 3 '13 at 10:49
  • I meant using channel entries. Glad to see the answer - learned something new today : ) – Damien Buckley Jul 3 '13 at 10:57

People have mentioned low Random, but the Randomizer plugin can also be used to add strings to just about anything (images, text, whole paragraphs, a class...) It's lightweight, it's easy to use (though you have to edit the PHP file to build the arrays) and it will insert the content before the page is rendered.
