CMS custom component, have shown before, but extra functions ok I have only 3 images setup you can add more This randomly selects an image, the relative link, text color and the link text Highlight a different product or page as you land on the page, every refresh or visit Elements CMS is really cool 😀 😀 😂 😂 ---

add some controls, part controlled by CMS the rest Elements Home is the only page random image/text is used the other pages are just pages, the random image text link the other pages might be of use, project - [elementsapp://downloadDocument/LbAUsiZqvuiE](elementsapp://downloadDocument/LbAUsiZqvuiE) leave until tomorrow, uses up space if you need to point at different md folder and md frontmatter ---

Basically, it would be really nice to have a **“random item”** function in the CMS and in the related item. Adding **whitelist and blacklist filters for the tags** would make the whole thing ideal. ---

> [@upssjw](#): > > Adding **whitelist and blacklist filters for the tags** would make the whole thing ideal @ben I think I mentioned this topic before. It’s already on your to-do list, right? Could you maybe “accidentally” move it a bit higher up the priority list? That would also be worth something to me as a paid Pro feature. 🫣 ---

I started here, control flow and conditionals, then followed the links to the twig site, takes longer to create the tailwind code to define the layout than set the twig up [https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/cms/cms/twig](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/cms/cms/twig)
