You guys rock! Thank you very much, Andi Dude on "Latest Portfolio Widget: Random order" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/latest-portfolio-widget-random-order#post-79540 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 12:02:37 +0000 Dude 79540@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ I think I found the issue - it's framework/widget class related and I'll ask Kriesi to look into it. For now you can try following - replace following code in eunoia\framework\php\class-framework-widgets.php <pre><code>$new_query = array( "posts_per_page"=>$count, 'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => $this->avia_term, 'field' => 'id', 'terms' => explode(',', $cat), 'operator' => 'IN') ) );</code></pre> with: <pre><code>$orderby = ($this->avia_term == 'portfolio_entries') ? 'rand' : 'date'; $new_query = array( "posts_per_page"=>$count, 'orderby' => $orderby, 'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => $this->avia_term, 'field' => 'id', 'terms' => explode(',', $cat), 'operator' => 'IN') ) );</code></pre> Don't forget to revert the change(s) we provided in the last posts.

I am really sorry that I am keeping you that busy - thank you very much for your effort. Best regards Andi Dude on "Latest Portfolio Widget: Random order" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/latest-portfolio-widget-random-order#post-79508 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 06:32:44 +0000 Dude 79508@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Try following code instead: <pre><code>$this->avia_new_query = array('showposts' => $count, 'orderby'=> 'rand', 'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => $this->avia_term, 'field' => 'id', 'terms' => explode(',', $cat), 'operator' => 'IN' ) ), 'post_type' => array('portfolio') );</code></pre> Now you're able to use the widget settings to adjust the number of posts, categories, etc. Beholder123 on "Latest Portfolio Widget: Random order" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/latest-portfolio-widget-random-order#post-79468 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 19:47:07 +0000 Beholder123 79468@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Thank you very much! This seems to work, I can see random entries now. However, there are some issues remaining: My aim is to show two widgets: 1 showing 2 posts from category A, and 1 showing 4 posts from category B. - Only one entry per widget is shown. - Both widgets are showing both categories. - Even private entrys are shown. Besides this, it's working great! I hope we can solve these minor issues finally. Thank you Andi Nick on "Latest Portfolio Widget: Random order" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/latest-portfolio-widget-random-order#post-79436 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 15:28:44 +0000 Nick 79436@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hi, Tried and tested. Please follow the steps in Dude's original reply regarding where to paste the code below: <pre><code>$this->avia_new_query = (array('showposts' => 1, 'orderby'=> 'rand', 'post_type' => array('portfolio')));</code></pre> Please keep refreshing page, even if five in a row appear the same. Sometimes randomness can look quite static. I even made a commemorative video to document this achievement - <a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8hqGBMSfHtKdk4xbmlXdXYyRDg" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8hqGBMSfHtKdk4xbmlXdXYyRDg</a> - (for some reason nothing was working for the longest time).

I have no more idea what to do. Let me tag the rest of the support team.

How can we figure this out? Ismael on "Latest Portfolio Widget: Random order" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/latest-portfolio-widget-random-order#post-79187 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 05:51:00 +0000 Ismael 79187@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hi. This code is included on AVIA NEWSBOX section, find this code <code>$new_query = array("posts_per_page"=>$count,"post_type"=>$this->avia_post_type);</code> Then replace it with this. <code>$new_query = array("posts_per_page"=>$count,"post_type"=>$this->avia_post_type,"orderby"=>"rand");</code> Remove browser cache then reload the page 3-5 times and see if it works. It works in my end.

Is that correct?

Please try this: <pre><code>$this->avia_new_query=array( 'orderby' => 'rand', 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'post_type' => $this->avia_post_type, 'tax_query' => array( array( 'taxonomy' => $this->avia_term, 'field' => 'id', 'terms' => explode(',', $cat), 'operator' => 'IN' ) ) );</code></pre> Thanks, Nick Beholder123 on "Latest Portfolio Widget: Random order" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/latest-portfolio-widget-random-order#post-79022 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 20:05:14 +0000 Beholder123 79022@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ Hi Nick, thank you for your effort. The number of shown items has changed to zero, unfortunately. I hope you do have another idea to solve this.

Let me tag the rest of the support to see the issue.

I turned off the cache.

However, I have a question: How can I showcase random portfolio elements in a widget? The lastest widget is ordered by date and I didn't find how to change in to random. Thanks Andi
