Hello freissmann,

As of now, JA Content Slider hasn’t supported this feature yet. It can only sort images list in alphabetic order.

Feel free to let me know if you need any further assistance.

Regards.

Hello easypc,

As of now, JA Content Slider does not support this feature yet. It can only sort image list in alphabetic order.

for now the module uses inbuild file read feature of Joomla! and show them in sequence, to make it random the module will need code update. However, your idea is interesting and we will try to include it in upcoming versions.

Regards.

JA Content Slider module does not option set RANDOM IMAGE but you can try that with this trick :

<blockquote>Open modules/mod_jacontentslider/helper.php file</blockquote>
from

function getListFolder($params)
{
$folder = $params->get('folder_images');
$path = JPath::clean(JPATH_ROOT . DS .$folder);

$data = array();
if (JFolder::exists($path)) {
$files = JFolder::files($path, ".(jpg|png|gif|jpeg|bmp)$");

$i = 0;

foreach ($files as $file) {
$image = JURI::root() . JPath::clean( $folder . '/' . $file, '/');
$item = new stdClass();
$item->text = '';
$item->introtext = $item->text;
$item->catid = 1;
$item->title = $file;
$item->cateName = '';
$item->link = $image;
$item->image = modJacontentsliderHelper::renderImage($item->title, $item->link, $image, $params, $params->get('iwidth'), $params->get('iheight'));

$data[$i] = $item;
$data[$i] = modJacontentsliderHelper::processIntrotext($data[$i], $params->get( 'numchar', 0 ));
$i++;
}
}

return $data;
}

change to

function getListFolder($params)
{
$folder = $params->get('folder_images');
$path = JPath::clean(JPATH_ROOT . DS .$folder);

$data = array();
if (JFolder::exists($path)) {
$files = JFolder::files($path, ".(jpg|png|gif|jpeg|bmp)$");
$files=array_rand($files);

$i = 0;

foreach ($files as $file) {
$image = JURI::root() . JPath::clean( $folder . '/' . $file, '/');
$item = new stdClass();
$item->text = '';
$item->introtext = $item->text;
$item->catid = 1;
$item->title = $file;
$item->cateName = '';
$item->link = $image;
$item->image = modJacontentsliderHelper::renderImage($item->title, $item->link, $image, $params, $params->get('iwidth'), $params->get('iheight'));

$data[$i] = $item;
$data[$i] = modJacontentsliderHelper::processIntrotext($data[$i], $params->get( 'numchar', 0 ));
$i++;
}
}

return $data;
}

Let me know if it helps
