Question

Im trying to make a front page for a website using cake.

I want to display a random advertisment (adverts listed in advertisements) table. A user has many adverts.

How to i go about doing this with cakephp?

Answer 1

You can randomly retrive your advertisements from mysql

$this->loadModel('Advertisement');
$advertisments = $this->Advertisement->find('all',
'order' => 'rand()');

and use $advertisments as an array in your frontpage.
