Can front page products be displayed randomly

Hi
On the EShop front page I just want products to be displayed but I want this to be a random collection of any of the products rather than only Featured products (which seems to be all I can get to display).
Is this possibleconfiguration? If not then can you please tell me where the code for the front page is so I can change it myself.

Regards
Tony

Hello Tony,

This is not supported now. If you want to change the code, then you should check the file components/com_eshop/views/frontpage/view.html.php

Hope that this is useful.
Sincerely, Giang

Many thanks thats helpful will have a crack myself

Actually there is no frontpage folder within the components/com_eshop/views folder so I am still not able to do this

Doh! Was in the administration folder found it now!

So if anyone else wants to do this this is what I did (better suggestions welcome)

components/com_eshop/views/frontpage/view.html.php
Change the call aat around line 76 to:
$products = RADModel::getInstance('Products', 'EshopModel', array('remember_states' => false))
->limitstart(0)
->limit($numberProducts)
->sort_options('rand()')
->getData();


Now the rand() option is not in the allowed set of options for sort so you also have to change the EShopModelProducts class to allow this as an option.

This is in components/com_eshop/models/products.php (note its products and not product)
So in the _buildQueryOrder method around line 215 add
'rand()' to the $allowedSortArr array.
As the sort order always adds the default of ASC to it then you also need to add the following if construct at around line 241
if ($sort == 'rand()')
$query->order($sort);
else
{
$query->order($sort . ' ' . $direct)
->order('a.ordering');
}
this replaces the code
$query->order($sort . ' ' . $direct)
->order('a.ordering');

This then gives a random selection of any product on the front page. If you want random featured items then you need to keep the ->product_featured(1) part of the query in the view.html.php

I have done some testing on the front page but not much around the rest of the site so I am hoping there is no knock on to other places, I dont think there should be.
Hope this helps someone.
