Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length

Hmmm

Randomish number does not change per load. Web server caching....gotta love it!

Workaround

Introducing @@Now@@ into the page somewhere stops the page being cached.

I've got this working on my Wiki now to provide a random quote, same code as here just a different property, can't work out why this ain't working though. Gave an error when the number of milliseconds was less than 10 though, as the substring failed to find 2 characters. Fixed that by appending a "0" to the begining of the string that's reversed. My code now looks as follows and works perfectly as long as I have @@Now@@ somewhere on the page to force it not to cache.

 @@["{{",namespace.AllTopicsWith("Category","Quote")
    .Item(
      ["0",DateTime.Now.Millisecond.ToString].ToOneString.Reverse.Substring(0,2).AsInteger
        .Multiply(
          namespace.AllTopicsWith("Category","Quote").Collect{}.Count
        )
        .Divide(100)
    ).Name,"}}"]

        So topic has this on one line:
          PageType: TipOfTheDay 


 :GetRandomTipLink:{
   namespace.AllTopicsWith("PageType","TipOfTheDay")
     .Item(
       DateTime.Now.Millisecond.ToString.Reverse.Substring(0,2).AsInteger
         .Multiply(
           namespace.AllTopicsWith("PageType","TipOfTheDay").Collect{}.Count
         )
         .Divide(100)
     ).Name
 }
