Rotate the images in a random order.

[abhinit-dwivedi]

Hi,

Thanks for the great plugin.

Is it possible to rotate the images in a random order (instead of in order currently), but also making sure 2 of the same images are never pulled at the same time?

Could you point me the code where i can make changes to achieve that? I just need to know how to edit the existing code to pull the images randomly.

Thanks,

+1 for this, and also a way to have the images load initially randomly.

Thanks to anyone who can help with this.

I just thought I'd put this code here for anyone interested. I managed to shuffle the order of the images using this code:

/*
* Shuffle jQuery array of elements - see Fisher-Yates algorithm
*/
function shuffle(array) {
  var currentIndex = array.length, temporaryValue, randomIndex;

  // While there remain elements to shuffle...
  while (0 !== currentIndex) {

    // Pick a remaining element...
    randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * currentIndex);
    currentIndex -= 1;

    // And swap it with the current element.
    temporaryValue = array[currentIndex];
    array[currentIndex] = array[randomIndex];
    array[randomIndex] = temporaryValue;
  }

  return array;
}

shuffle(this.$items);

I put it in the _layout function in between this line

this.$items = this.$itemsCache.clone().appendTo( this.$list );

and this line

var $outItems = this.$items.filter( ':gt(' + ( this.showTotal - 1 ) + ')' ),
