Hereby a guide.
First add these lines to mylinks/xoops_version.php
$modversion['blocks'][3]['file'] = "mylinks_top.php";
$modversion['blocks'][3]['name'] = _MI_MYLINKS_BNAME3;
$modversion['blocks'][3]['description'] = "Shows random web links";
$modversion['blocks'][3]['show_func'] = "b_mylinks_random";
$modversion['blocks'][3]['edit_func'] = "b_mylinks_random_edit";
$modversion['blocks'][3]['options'] = "random|1|19";
$modversion['blocks'][3]['template'] = 'mylinks_block_random.html';
after
$modversion['blocks'][2]['file'] = "mylinks_top.php";
$modversion['blocks'][2]['name'] = _MI_MYLINKS_BNAME2;
$modversion['blocks'][2]['description'] = "Shows most visited web links";
$modversion['blocks'][2]['show_func'] = "b_mylinks_top_show";
$modversion['blocks'][2]['edit_func'] = "b_mylinks_top_edit";
$modversion['blocks'][2]['options'] = "hits|10|25";
$modversion['blocks'][2]['template'] = 'mylinks_block_top.html';
Add the following to mylinks/languages/english/modinfo.php
define("_MI_MYLINKS_BNAME3","Random Link");
Replace the file mylinks/blocks/mylinks_top.php with this one:

Create a file called mylinks_block_random.html in the folder mylinks/templates/blocks. This is the code for this file:
<div align="center">
<a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/mylinks/visit.php?cid=<{$block.cid}>&lid=<{$block.id}>"><{$block.title}>a>
<br />
<{$block.date}>
<br />
<a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/mylinks/visit.php?cid=<{$block.cid}>&lid=<{$block.id}>" target="_blank"> <img src="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/mylinks/images/shots/<{$block.logourl}>" width="88" height="31" alt=""/>a>

Good luck!!!
