Use ditto to retrieve a random "quote"

Hi guys,

I want to use Ditto to display one random "quote" from a selection of several quotes in a folder (e.g. the documents contain one quote each).

I tried using the code below, but this is only showing the contents of the most recently created document, and it does not change.



How can I randomise the quote which is displayed?

Thanks for your help!
Matt

Use backticks



Edit:
And if you want to exclude folders,  your filter should look like that

Thanks! I should have spotted that

I also discovered that I needed to call Ditto in uncached mode for it to work:

Thanks again,

yes. you’re right. just tested it with/on (no grammar knowledge here) a(n) unpublished page. and unpublished pages don’ t care for cache settings.
