Hello Avalight,

The slideshow is a java based one I got from here http://smoothgallery.jondesign.net/download/ but in it's default state it does not randomise. The modification to make it randomise is here http://smoothgallery.jondesign.net/forums/viewtopic.php?id=98 and look for the modification from noodles on the second post which worked for me although others seemed to have issues getting it to behave.

Hi Andy - I went to your website and I like the gallery slideshow that you had rotating between 10 images.  Is that public script?  Where is that from?
Thanks

Hello Thornapple,

I have attached my modified code to this post for you and anyone else interested in it. The main changes in mine are to the homecode.asp which I renamed to andyhomecode.asp and point to that in home.asp so as not to ruin the original copy. The other file I changed is pcshowproductH which is now named pcshowproducthfeat.asp to not interfere with the rest of the site and is called for in andyhomecode.asp this was really to change the size of the graphics used and a couple of minor tweaks for our own sites needs.

The randomise works by making four calls to the featured product list but is forced to only show a section of the list for a given range so I have five groups in my featured product list. group 0 contains the **do not delete** and is never included in the math, group 1 contain the first batch, 2 the second and so on. the trick was that you make 3 duplicates of the featured product code with a different name and modify the sections to call the randomisers set at the top of the andyhomecode.asp. then in home code where you normally just have  pcs_FeaturedProducts you also add the other three as seen in my home.asp file. It's not pretty and I'm sure more advanced coders may wince when looking at it but it works well enough for my needs. :) The only other thing to do is set the show featured products to 1 product in the home page manage section of control panel

Take a look at the code and at our homepage on www.landmarq.me.uk to see it on action if you want to use it but get stuck drop me a line on here and I will try and help.

Things to watch for are the randomiser can be a tad twitchy at first if you change the quantities of products as you get group cross over but if you can tweak that out after a couple of goes and the randomise can sometimes show the same things if you try refreshing the page too fast.  uploads/1372/randfeat.zip ]]> Wed, 18 Feb 2009 05:00:14 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/random-featured-products_topic2240_post8997.html#8997 <![CDATA[Random featured products. : I&#039;ve sent it to you Alex. ...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/random-featured-products_topic2240_post8967.html#8967 Author: bodyexposed

Boo
 
Great! I would love to see booth of your codes as it sounds like they are a lil different.
 
Hmm should post it here so the devs and other people can have a look as well.
 
I think such an option would make product cart stand out even more than other e-commerce software out there currently.
 
Thanks Guys!

Boo
 
I wants it!!!!
 
I asked about doing the same thing some time back and was told it wasnt able to be done due to database calls and problems.
 
Could I please get the code as well?
 
New site re-skin in the works and would love to roll out random products at the same time.
 
Great work. ... Think I would look rather featching in the tartan man skirt. Well over my tartan pants with boots anywho...
 
Looking forward to seeing the code.
 
Dearly Departed
 
Alex

Hello Richard

Thanks for the code you sent over unfortunately I could not integrate it with my code looks like our products carts base code is pretty different, your code was helpful in showing me where to look so thanks for sending it over.  Been tied up with other things since but I decided to give it another go yesterday and with a bit work have 4 seperate random products boxes running at once to highlight a different product for each range we wish to promote.

Should be on the homepage soon but if anyone wants info on how I did this I will be happy to share my code (messy as it is)
