Hi!
I need to display only featured items in random mode.

At first I enabled random mode:



But module always displays same items... No random.

Hello

it works

just randomly per visitor !

this way
- the user will see same items even if user refreshes
- the random order will work properly with pagination too in category-like views

user will see different order if site is revisited after user SESSION ends (e.g. browser window closed)

Also note: if you enable conservative caching and also enable caching in module then all users may see same order until cache expires

Progressive caching should not cause the above
Another option is not enable caching inside the modulein general it is best to disable caching

In short it works as intended

To verify that random order works

Open website using 2 different browsers

you should see 2 different orders

Ok, is it possible to enable random displaying for same user?
It's very common option.

Fro example, we want to display only random featured items for same user, because user can back on specific page several times.
