Feature request: rotate CTAs

Post by Mark6739 »

To avoid having lots of consecutive posts with the same Call to Action, it would be great if we could automatically rotate or spin the CTAs.

This would be very useful with Re-blogging and posting our own content.

you can already use spintax for that.

instead of
click <a href="https://rootjazz.com/">here</a>

use
click <a href="https://rootjazz.com/">{here|there|this|that}</a>

you can also do it in the url and text
{click|klick} <a href="{https://rootjazz.com/|http://yahoo.com| ... s|that}</a>

Thanks very much! Knowing that Spintax will handle that is a big help.

Hi Martin,

Last week you asked me to remind you about creating a CTA rotator. The Spintax method didn't work because the length of the CTAs made the Spintax go onto two lines.

It shouldn't matter being on two lines, as is probably just a single line and it is wrapping (using two lines to show one line as there is no linebreak in the line)


let me have a quick look at what can be done

all meta data can now take a token

Code: Select all

#randfileline:c:\path\to\file.txt#

the file will be read, and a random line selected. Can be used for clickthrough / source / body, all meta


The next update will include this. I shall let you know when it is ready.



'Regards,
Martin
