shuffle($products); 


immediately before the line:

PHP Code:

$smarty->assign("f_products",$products); 


Are you saying that that one line of code will display a random featured products list from all my products?

This one line of code will display random featured product list from your featured products list of the current category only.

hi Yurij,

I added the

PHP Code:

shuffle($products); 


line, but all it did was give me a "Featured products" box above the normal "Products", but both boxes contained the same products.

Is there any way to make the mod in this thread work for v4.2.x on the home page?

Thanks!

[delboy2028]

any one help?

Show me where you’ve inserted the code and the code that you’ve inserted.

Hi Yurij,

I added

PHP Code:

shuffle($products); 


just before the

PHP Code:

$smarty->assign("f_products",$products); 


line in the featured_products.php as you instructed.

Perhaps I missed something?

Seems like you have copied this text(code)into Word.

Create the file modules/Recommended_Products/recommends_home.tpl using Notepad or other editor for plain text.
