Random Link Module / Block

Does anyone know or can suggest a module that can be used to show a random text with link in a block, it does not have to be a “links” per se.

Explanation:
We would like to be able to show a block on the home page with brief text description and with link to some content page on the same XOOPS site.
To increase visitor clicks to content that would often not be visited because it is scattered and “buried” in different modules and categories throughout the site. The idea is to spotlight some pages and to try to increase visits to them.

It would be great if an image could be included.

If no such module exists, can anyone suggest a module (as a starting point) that could be hacked into doing this.

Thanks and Saludos from Mexico

I don't think there is a module that will do this for the whole site, but many modules offer a random function (some galleries, spotlight, news, maybe smartfaq or smartpartner etc). Check out the individual blocks in each module you have.

Just an update, we finally went with Random Quotes Module 1.0 by: Mario Figge [url]http://www.zona84.com/[/url].

We edited the block template not to show the author, and edited each of the "quotes" (in our case sugestion to internal content in our XOOPS site) with links in Dreamweaver and then pasted them into the module in it's admin.

You can see the it working in http://www.matamoros.com, it is the center / center block titled "Recomendamos".

Thanks for all sugestions, and special thanks to Mario Figge [url]http://www.zona84.com/[/url] for his great module.
