Random Specials

[Guest]

i?m using Special on Default contribution, however i need help to randomize the products because it only shows the latest 9 ones, and i have much more then that.

The code of my default_specials.php is :

new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false, tep_href_link(FILENAME_SPECIALS));

 

if ( (!isset($new_products_category_id)) || ($new_products_category_id == '0') ) {

[Guest]

change your queries on the order by

 

instead of doing

order by s.specials_date_added desc

order by p.products_date_added desc

 

do this on both

 

order by rand()
