Perhaps I missed something?

For 4.2.0. you should not just insert this line but change

Code:

if ($total_items > 0)
    $smarty->assign("f_products", $products);

to

Code:

if ($total_items > 0){
               shuffle($products); 
    $smarty->assign("f_products", $products);
}

Oh Ok. Thank you.

But that just shuffles the existing featured products.
I was looking more for a random selection of all my products. (such as recommended products), but I don't suppose that would be just as simple?

seaCOAST, did you ever get that going?

Nope. I gave up on it for now. If you find a way please let me know.
