Description: Make a page which shows news from 1 category, picked out of a list of different categories.
Instructions:

CODE

<?php
if (empty($subaction)) {
 $numbers = array(x,xx,xxx,x,xx,xxx,x,xx,xxx);
 $random = $numbers[rand(0,count($numbers)-1)];
 $category= $random;
}

$template = "your-template";
$number = "xxx";
include("cutenews/show_news.php");
?>

Use the above instead of your standard CN include code.

This could be useful for some people

$numbers = array(); is where you input the category ids. Might not work with subcategories but you can always try.
