Showing nodes randomly on front page

Posted by Hamid.D on November 3, 2009 at 3:54pm

Hi all,
I wanna show nodes on front page in a random way.
I need it for my ubercart powered website which always shows last products added on the front page.
I want to show them randomly.

Is it possible?

Thanks.

yes using views-- just use the 'global: random' sort order.

I installed views module then enabled "front page" view.and ...
but when I show the page created by views module it shows nodes in full mode(Instead of template defined in node.tpl.php).

Is there any solution?

Change your Views Configuration

If you edit the view you are showing for the front page, you can set how the node displays.
Look under basic settings: style and node style.
Everything you need to do can be changed on this screen pretty much.
Don't be afraid to play around with views settings and see how your display changes. if you are worried about losing what you have so far, clone your view and play with a copy.
