Hi,

In the Epsilon theme settings we have: "Show Latest Items in Random Order" on the home page.
Can we also have the same options for the premium listings?

Alternatively, can someone post the code to rotate the Premium listings in random order?

Many thanks

Do you mean on home page block or on search page?

I was also thinking about it and later solved it with auto renewing 2 premium listings every XX hours (which reorder them every XX hours).

But it is a much better solution to display premium listings in random order everytime search page is loaded. Because it is unfair to "older" premium listings to be hidden behind scroll if there are multiple premium listings to show. To be fair, not many users will make a hassle to scroll to see more "promoted" content.

This way it is also easier to sell premium ads to users.

Hi,

It would be great if we had the option on both the home page and search pages too.

Many thanks,
Spencer

Thanks for the feedback. You are correct, it is unfair for some Premium ads not to be shown as they are hidden or older premium ads are showing and blocking the new premium ads.

Cheers

You are right, usually people have habit of scrolling vertically and for them Premium and normal listing is same so they will scroll vertically instead of scrolling horizontally just to see Premium listing. So, I also think having random premium listing is a good idea on every page load both on Home & Search page.

Any solution?

You can make them scroll back and reverse on home using script
in style.css / underneath line:  /* ITEM GRID & LIST */ 
.products.q1 { display: flex; flex-wrap: nowrap; flex-direction: row; overflow-x: scroll; }

File main.php search for
<div id="premium-items" class="products grid nice-scroll no-visible-scroll">
And replace with:
<div id="q1" class="products grid nice-scroll q1 no-visible-scroll">

In same section after first </div> put
      <script>
function animatethis(targetElement, speed) {
    var scrollWidth = $(targetElement).get(0).scrollWidth;
    var clientWidth = $(targetElement).get(0).clientWidth;
    $(targetElement).animate({ scrollLeft: scrollWidth - clientWidth },
    {
        duration: speed,
        complete: function () {
            targetElement.animate({ scrollLeft: 0 },
            {
                duration: speed,
                complete: function () {
                    animatethis(targetElement, speed);
                }
            });
        }
    });
};
animatethis($('#q1'), 80000);
</script>

Hi,

Any update on getting this to work, to randomly show the premium ads. The Epsilon theme already has this option for the latest ads on the home page. Can we use the same code for the premium ads?

A plugin or code modification would be great.

Many thanks
