Hi,

I recently wanted to add "recommended reading" to my articles..
so i started adding them one by one... so i got the idea of making a new module with the html in it and publish it on all pages.


Now my question is how do i make a module that

a) loads html from a pool (so it wouldnt always be the same book) AT RANDOM

b) the same, but a bit more like ADSENSE that takes keywordds out of the categorie (or even article) and loads a book that matches those keywords..


i know there is one module out there called mod_CBads (but its a paid membership)
well a bit like that one but i would use my own set of books


remember im still new to mambo

thanks in advance..
here is my site (the recommended reading module is running so you get an idea of what i need)

Rey Gigataras has developed a series of excellent modules for Mambo, called "Display News". I believe one of them, "Display News - Random" is exactly the one you're looking for. It goes to database and selects a random content item from a certain section or category you specified, then displays it. You can decide how many items should be displayed too. Just create a section (or category) for your book recommendation content, and arrange Rey's module to fetch a random item to display from that section/category. You can download the module from MamboForge:

This was for your question "a". For question "b", I have no idea.

By the way, your site appears to be powered by Limbo; so I'm not quite sure if the module I mentioned could work with your system (although Limbo is "Lite Mambo", sister CMS)
