Our module shows Featured products in order of array being retrieved from database. You can modify /modules/Featured_ISS/func.php to retrieve random products from database:

Old code:

if ($products = func_query("select p.productid, product, list_price, pr.price as price, i.id from $sql_tbl[products] p inner join $sql_tbl[featured_products] f on f.productid=p.productid inner join $sql_tbl[images_T] i on p.productid = i.id left join $sql_tbl[pricing] pr on pr.productid=p.productid where f.avail = 'Y' and f.categoryid = 0 and pr.variantid = 0;")) {
	foreach($products as $k => $v) {
		$fprod[$k][0] = $v['productid'];
		$fprod[$k][1] = $v['product'];
		$fprod[$k][2] = $v['price'] ? $v['price'] : $v['list_price'];
		$fprod[$k][3] = $v['id'];
	}
}

New code:

if ($products = func_query("select p.productid, product, list_price, pr.price as price, i.id 
from $sql_tbl[products] p inner join $sql_tbl[images_T] i on p.productid = i.id left join $sql_tbl[pricing] pr on pr.productid=p.productid 
where p.forsale = 'Y' and p.avail > '0' and pr.variantid = 0;")) {
  shuffle($products);
	foreach($products as $k => $v) {
		$fprod[$k][0] = $v['productid'];
		$fprod[$k][1] = $v['product'];
		$fprod[$k][2] = $v['price'] ? $v['price'] : $v['list_price'];
		$fprod[$k][3] = $v['id'];
	}
}

This code allows to select all available products instead of Featured Products.

I think I've answered in previous point.

Allowing us to set a size range would eliminate the bouncing text.

Please find this row in /modules/Featured_ISS/featurediss.tpl

	imgContainer.innerHTML = '<a id="rotator_url" onclick="javascript: window.location=\'product.php?productid='+aw_iss_data[0][0]+'\';"><img id="rotator" src="image.php?type=T&id=' + aw_iss_data[0][3] + '" /></a>';

and replace with

	imgContainer.innerHTML = '<a id="rotator_url" onclick="javascript: window.location=\'product.php?productid='+aw_iss_data[0][0]+'\';"><img id="rotator" src="image.php?type=T&id=' + aw_iss_data[0][3] + '" width="100" /></a>';

You can change image size by adjusting 'width' parameter.

Why you can't customize the look if it's all in the tpl file? /skin1/modules/Featured_ISS/featurediss.tpl

It's impossible, because we need to use Smatry variables in Javascript which being parsed before loading, but JS file being loaded by browser only after main HTML is loaded.

If I make a choice on which addon to keep, it's going to be the header over this script, because I like it better and it works without any problem involved, other than when I install this script.

Please provide more information on this.
