​support Request: Randomizing Image Display In The Slider

Support Request: Randomizing Image Display in the Slider

I’m using the image slider feature in Sytist and would like to achieve the following:

1. Random Order on Load: When the slider initializes, I’d like the images to display in a random order instead of following a set sequence.

2. Random Transitions: As the slider progresses, I’d like it to select the next image randomly instead of cycling through sequentially.

Currently, the images display and transition sequentially. I’m wondering if there’s a built-in option, setting, or configuration that would allow the slider to behave this way.

If not, is there something I could temporarily do to make this happen, perhaps in a js file.

Sorry, there is no option to randomize the display of the photos. There is no sort of workaround that would make that happen.

It's more to it than one file. There is simply not an option in Sytist to randomize the photos.

Tim,

I did manage to do it, but it took more time than I wanted to use.  I made adjustments to the billboard.js which took alot of trial and error, things are random at least.  I know it's your code, but I have a backup of the original file and the adjusted one for updates cause I know that file will be over ridden.  

Keep up the great work on this.  I have been using Sytist since 2016, and it's the longest I have stayed with anything ever.   Please consider having more options for the billboard (ie different transitions, random slides).
