Orderby Random with same Output on same Page
How Do I?
I have these two div / pair entries below, say slide_a and slide_b, i want that the output of slide_a to be the same with slide_b, meaning random images displays on slide_a and slide_b to be the same, how do i achieve that?
<div id="slide_a">
{exp:channel:entries status="open|featured" channel="destination" orderby="random" limit="4" disable="pagination|member_data|comments"}
{dimage}
{/exp:channel:entries} </div>
<div id="slide_b">
<ol>
{exp:channel:entries status="open|featured" channel="destination" orderby="random" limit="4" disable="pagination|member_data|comments"} <li data-slide-to=”slideshow”> {dimage}</li> {/exp:channel:entries} </ol> </div>
You can use one of the string transport plugins to do this, if you can make the markup the same between the two slides and only style them differently.
MX Jumper (Free) NSM Transplant (Commercial) Portal (Disclosure: I wrote this one, but it is free) Stash (Free)
Stash could also let you use a list to store the results, then read them out twice, but that would be a much more complex solution.
Thanks, from these which one do you prefer? i tried all the free one and Portal gave me a php error 56, Couldn’t use MX Jumper with
1.{exp:ce_img:single src="{d_featured_image}” width=”200” height=”100” alt=”{d_featured_image_desc}” crop=”yes”}
I tried to use stash exp:channel:entries channel=”destination” dynamic=”off” orderby=”random” limit=”3”} {exp:stash:append name="big_images"} <li>{exp:ce_img:single src="{d_featured_image}” width=”200” height=”100” alt=”{d_featured_image_desc}” crop=”yes”}</li> {/exp:stash:append}
{exp:stash:append name="thumbs"} <li>{exp:ce_img:single src="{d_featured_image}” width=”200” height=”100” alt=”{d_featured_image_desc}” crop=”yes”}</li>
{/exp:stash:append} {/exp:channel:entries}
<ul> {exp:stash:get name="big_images" process="end"} </ul> <ul> {exp:stash:get name="thumbs" process="end"} </ul>
and ce_img didn’t give me a result, any idea or example?

This is my actual code
