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
}}
