Random Order Pagination

[kricore]

The items (being randomly loaded) appear multiple times.

This is how SQL random sorting works. There is nothing we can do about it. For sites with a few items we could load all of them at once, but i don't think this is something we need to add in K2.

I recommend either the removal of "random" from list ordering options or provide details of its limitations.

My client has 50 K2 items in a category called "projects". They only show 6 items per page. They would like these items to be in a random order so their users always see the projects in a different order when they visit the site. However, when the user clicks to go to page 2, 3, 4, etc... the K2 items often repeat. I just need a way for the items to only "shuffle" when a user visits the "Projects" page, but then not repeat as they click though the pagination.

What you can do is load all of the 50 items in a page and then use javascript to split them into pages and create pagination.

You could create a page and use a module to control the list items.

RAXO All-mode K2 offers an add-on template with pagination functionality:
