Single Cell Content Shortcode: Display random cell?

Hi,

thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

Sorry, I don’t have a readily available solution for this, but you could e.g. look at https://tablepress.org/extensions/random-row/ for some ideas on how to adjust the code.

Hi,

extending the Single Cell Shortcode Extension is actually not too difficult here.

Just change line 40 from

$row = absint( $shortcode_atts['row'] );

to

if ( 'random' === $shortcode_atts['row'] ) {
  $shortcode_atts['row'] = rand( 1, count( $table['data'] ) );
}
$row = absint( $shortcode_atts['row'] );

After that, you could use a Shortcode like

[table-cell id=123 row=random column=3 /]

to get a random cell from column 3.
