I know you can easily load a random entry from a channel, but I wanted to know if the functionality exists in EE to randomly embed and load a template from a group?
Thanks in advance for any guidance on this.

I want part of a homepage to randomly rotate promos on load. I know other ways to accomplish this, but it made me think of the question.– jsuissaMar 17, 2014 at 18:43

a quick thought come to my mind is to create templates with the same name and change the prefix number for e.g: test_1,test_2,test_3......,test_100
then use this plugin to generate the random number:
http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/random-between
{embed='test_{exp:ga_randombetween start="0" stop="100"}'}
Regard's.

Good suggestion -- I'm assuming this also means it's can't be done native in EE.– jsuissaMar 17, 2014 at 22:14
