    Hello,

    I was wondering if there was a way to show random category icons in the sidebar. I am using a PHP Widget Box to show the following random categories currently. Is there a way to add the category icons to this code?

    <?php
// display 10 random categories
$cats ='';
$categories=get_categories();
$rand_keys = array_rand($categories, 10);
foreach ($rand_keys as $key) {
$cats .= $categories[$key]->term_id .',';
}
wp_list_categories('title_li=&hierarchical=true&hide_empty=0&show_count=1&include='.$cats);
?>

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Never Mind. I figured it out.

    If anyone is using the Category Icons Plugin and wants to call the code into a sidebar widget and have it pull random list of 10, use the following code:

    <?php
$cats ='';
$categories=get_categories();
$rand_keys = array_rand($categories, 10);
foreach ($rand_keys as $key) {
$cats .= $categories[$key]->term_id .',';
}
put_cat_icons(wp_list_categories('title_li=&echo=0&hierarchical=1&hide_empty=0&orderby=name&show_count=1&include='.$cats));
?>

    Of course you can change the 10 in the code about to show any number you wish.
