    Get single random item

    Hi, 

    var ceremonie = Model.Root().DescendantsOrSelfOfType("ceremonie").Single();

    This returns a single item. Perfect. But how do i get a random single item in v8?

    Thanks!

    Hi!

    The way I make it work was like this :

    @{
    var ceremonie = Model.Root().DescendantsOrSelfOfType("ceremonie");
    foreach (var item in ceremonie.OrderBy(x => Guid.NewGuid()).Take(1))
    {
        YOUR CODE HERE
    }
}

    This is my working solution:

     //show random ceremonie
    //get ceremonieList
    var ceremoniesList = Model.Root().DescendantsOfType("ceremonie1");
    //radomize and pick one
    var randomCeremonie = ceremoniesList.OrderBy(x => Guid.NewGuid()).FirstOrDefault();
    //check if exist
    if(randomCeremonie != null) { 
        //pass item to ceremoniecard partial view
        @Html.Partial("~/Views/Partials/CeremonieCard.cshtml", randomCeremonie)
    }

    Just beware of the performance of this solution. In ordrer to do the DescendantsOfType(...) all published items are evaluated. The more content you publish, the more work is being done.

    If you can, you should definetly use examine to find your “ceremonial”s.
