Random sub page content

[dilby]

Hi all -

I have a page called ‘testimonials’ with a bunch of testimonials set up as sub pages. I want to show an excerpt (character limit of about 100) from the page text plus the title in a snippet chosen at random from these subpages. I’ve tried the examples at https://getkirby.com/docs/cookbook/random-content but I can’t get it to work!

Any help appreciated.

<?php
$randomTestimonial = page('testimonials')->children()->shuffle()->first();
echo $randomTestimonial->title();
echo $randomTestimonial->text()->excerpt(100);
?>

@texnixe

<?php
$randomTestimonial = page(‘testimonials’)->children()->shuffle()->first();
echo $randomTestimonial->title();
echo $randomTestimonial->excerpt(100);
?>

Thanks - however I get what i got before which is the title, but no text.

My blueprint is has the text as a text area like this:

fields:
_ title:_
_ label: Name, place and date_
_ type: title_

_ text:_
_ label: Feedback_
_ type: textarea_
