?>

This works, but just shuffles what i have chosen. What id like to happen is the system just randomizes products from within my store that are active.

is this possible??

Has anyone got this to work on 4.3.0 yet? Just like to Limit the Featured Products on Homepage and Categories to 6 and have them display random featured products. Is this easy on 4.3.0? Thanks in advance

Hello,

Great Tip... Thanks, I just tried it and it works great. Biggest thing was that I wanted to show more then 2 or 4 to one page and then a link to another page. I'm not sure I really need the randomizer but that's cool.

Thanks Again
Best Regards
John Crow
