Problem
When using the DPL-extension to build semirandom sets of articles, like a main page with changing articles, the set of randomly choosen articles should be kept static for a spesific time period. An easy fix for this is to add a random seed that changes i a predictable way, like once a week or once a day.
Using randomseed will be something like
{{#dpl:
category=Foo|
randomseed={{#time:Ymd}}|
randomcount=5
}}
