Randomize Header Images or Video

Asked by Douglas B 1 year ago Last activity 1 year ago

Hello,

I would like to use one of the slider elements and have it randomize which of the images or videos comes up first in the header area. Is this possible somehow?
Thank you for your help.

If you need that feature now (in upcoming days, weeks), you have to hire php developer that can add those modifications into site.php file of addon. The offcial (our) way may take some time.

But yes, I agree it may be useful.

Hello , its not an issue, but a functionality question.

If i am using a image slider or slideshow, and lets say it has 10 header images. Is there a way that it can randomize which of the 10 images comes up first?
Do you remember the days when you would hit ctrl+r to refresh a page, and the header image that was shown at the top would be randomized, not a set order.

Thank you for your help.

Ok, I will add it in our request list.

Thank you Mehtaz Afsana Borsha and Paul Frankowski for your replies. That answers my question. :)
I looked through the different sliders, slide shows, and couldnt find anything that would allow randomization.

I will look for a temporary solution that could work with joomla and joomshaper in the meantime, and look forward to what you may come up with in the future.

Thank you for considering this.

Indeed, right now for J5 you can find only random image module, but slide from slideshow not really.

Hi Paul,

Are you saying there is a random image module available in joomshaper, or 3rd party?

3rd party -- search on JED.

BTW

Even Joomla Banner module allows that.

Douglas B Asked this

Yes, that is what i thought you might have meant. Thank you sir.
Looking forward to the future possiblilty of a JoomShaper version of this for image and hopefully video headers.
Hope you all have a fantastic rest of the day.
