Hello there,

I am experimenting with adding the featured products to my homepage as we have a wide range of products coming in but it seems to only show the same products each time you visit the page. Does anyone know a way to make featured products change randomly so whenever a customer vists our homepage a new selection is shown.

Thanks in advance Andy,

Hi Andy,

I have modified the featured products code on my store to do exactly what you have described. A subset of the featured products is shown randonly on each visit. You can see it working on the home page of my site - www.bodyexposed.co.uk

Hi Richard,

That's exactly what I am looking for (not the undies though don't have the body for them) LOL Would you be able to let me know how you managed that as that would do just the trick? Also do you know if your mod would work for the 'highlight first product/product of the month' item such as I have active on my testpage https://www.landmarq.me.uk/productcart/pc/andyshome.asp as ideally I would like to have maybe 6/7 products rolling round on the frontpage with one in the highlight box.

Thanks in advance Andy,

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)

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.

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!
