my version for 4.1.0rc4
create a file called random.php and put it in your stores root
Code:
<?
// the database query
$query = "SELECT * FROM $sql_tbl[products],$sql_tbl[pricing] WHERE forsale='Y' AND avail>0 AND $sql_tbl[products].productid=$sql_tbl[pricing].productid ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 6 ";
// give the product array to smarty to make it available sitewide.
$randoms = func_query($query);
$smarty->assign("randoms",$randoms);
?>
The query will only pick up live items that are in stock.

if($active_modules["Bestsellers"])
include $xcart_dir."/modules/Bestsellers/bestsellers.php";

{include file="customer/main/products.tpl" products=$randoms}
edit skin1/customer/home.tpl or wherever you want to place the random products and use this code to call it:
