[pmwiki-users] Random page generator?

[StefCT]

Regarding my last e-mail, for clarification, the entire code (to be used
in the SideBar) should look like this:

(:pagelist group=PmWiki order=random count=1 fmt=Site.SideBar#randomPage
list=normal:)

(:if false:)
[[#randomPage]]
[[{=$FullName}|Show random page]]
[[#randomPageend]]
(:ifend:)
