    SOLVED Random Order in Roksprocket Features slideshow

    Posted 8 years 8 months ago
    • I have random order set for Roksprocket Features Slideshow 2 for multiple K2 categories. However, the K2 articles do not change in the slideshow. How does random order work?

    • Order will only change on Page Load... and you may need to disable Caching on the Module's Advanced Tab too

    • I do have caching disabled and I keep refreshing the page to see other articles but it keeps getting the first 3 ones always (i have it set to show 3).

      What else am I missing?

    • Is it showing them in a random order or always the same order?

    • Always the same order for the 3 articles. And shouldn't it be any random 3 articles from the categories specified?

    • Ok, Random Sort doesn't work for Categories... there's no "Sort Rules" that appear below that dropdown when Selecting Random with your current Filter Rules... for Random to work you need to define Sort Rules like in this screen shot: www.rockettheme.com/docs/joomla/extensio...atures_mode.md#setup -- and it doesn't appear any time Categories is in the Filter Rules

    • This is confusing. I looked at the screenshot you provided and it only has "Automatic Sort" and there is no random ordering there. How can I have random order then? There are no sort rules under random order even when I clear the category filer.

    • Remove your 2 Category Filter Rules... add like 6 articles by manually selecting them underneath Filter Rules... then see if Random Sort works
