Is there a Wordpress plugin that shuffles your posts?

I have searched high and low and keep finding the same 'random posts' widgets. I want to just shuffle every post and eliminate dates all together. It's a Wordpress tube site and every few days I add 20 or 30 clips from a new sponsor, but I don't want the videos clumped together by site like that so I have been adding them with my own random dates, but I'd rather just add them all and have Wordpress do the randomizing.

sounds like a great idea, wouldnt mind testing something like that out.

removing the dates is something best done by hand, there are a couple plugin's out there that claim they can do it, but it really depends on your theme if they are successful or not.

A quick google on 'remove wp date/time' should give you some pretty step by step directions on how to edit the php loop to remove them. I was able to do this, so I'm sure you can too :)

There is a plugin called 'oldest to newest' that does exactly what it claims to do, but there is no randomization in it.

If you find a random post updater, let us know

not sure what do you mean by shuffle, I take you mean random. If so, open your index.php, look for the loop and add something like this:

Code:

 

  

 <?php

 $rand_posts = get_posts('numberposts=10&orderby=rand');

 foreach( $rand_posts as $post ) :

 ?>

    <div class="post">

<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

<?php the_content(); ?>

</div>

 <?php endforeach; ?>

Can't get it to work. Says it's tested up to 2.9 and I just updated the site to 3.1
It also could be something with my theme but the docs on that plugin are non-existent.

shouldn't be too hard to write something like that, if you are looking to invest a few bucks for this technology, hit me up icq: 33375924

i use query_posts for tube style layouts, where i have random posts 4-8 of them, then the regular posts.

Just modify the loop for your specific needs/wants. That's pretty much all any plugin will do anyway. And at the end of the day it'd be better for you to learn how to do these types of things yourself.

Here's a good place to get started: http://codex.wordpress.org
More specifically: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts

A good post randomizer could be set to shuffle the existing datetimes once per x minutes/hours.

example:
get id,datetime from the db table
shuffle the datetimes
update each id with the new datetime

You'd have to make sure you weren't using a calendar or archives by date.

Why? in this example, the dates are meaningless and only being used to show content on the pages in a different order. In what case would you still want the Archives to show the original order?

Yes, yes I do.

As does anyone who has to manage computers, not just skin them and go away - no offense, but WP is probably the biggest pile of shit written in PHP, and I'm including absolutely everything written in PHP, ever. ;)

A good portion of high traffic websites also use Tomcat, but I'd prefer not to manage them, either.

That's all i do, edit it right into the loop. Works good for throwing up random past articles in an external loop too.

If you ever create something that makes site building / management as easy as WP plus has all of the benefits I'll be the first to sign up. Until then, manage away.

Grouchy, I won't argue on the technical part, since I don't know, but when I see these retarded users, I assume they might have 1 or 2 coders that know a little, and since they're using WP, me and the average Joe will trust that crappy pile of shit known as WP. There might be better scripts, but if it's good for the fucking NASA, Yahoo, CNN, FOX, flickr and Reuters just to name a few, then I'm pretty sure it will be bananas for a small cat like me :2 cents: Oh, and the price ain't too shabby :winkwink:

The above being said, I'd be very interested in knowing what would you recommend as an alternative and why do you think WP is that bad (please don't say security, let's be serious here)

I just use orderby=rand and WPCACHE to set the time limit on cache.

So this in effect randomizes my frontpage every "3600 seconds" or whatever I set it at.

I have no idea what I was thinking back then. Right now I'm thinking I don't want a post from 2005 to pop up on my index page. If the random call would only include the last month's posts - fine.

here you have:

Code:

<?php

function filter_where($where = '') {

  //posts for last month

  $where .= " AND post_date > '" . date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-30 days')) . "'";

  return $where;

}

add_filter('posts_where', 'filter_where');

query_posts('numberposts=10&orderby=rand');

?>

You always come through. I will give this a shot. Thank you in advance.
