Feature Request

    I have on my start page a slider with 20 slides in. Activated are only 4 at once and I do change the order from time to time.

    It would be great to have 2 options avaailable:

    1. Decide to show all published slides or only a defined number of the published ones. For Example I have 8 slides out of 20 published and set the max number to show to 4.
    2. Decide to show the published slides in the order they have or in a random order. If I decided to show 4 out of 8 published it means the first 4 will be shown if or 4 out of the 8 if set to random order. Also it would be great to define how often the random order will change (similar to what the generator is doing)

    Does such a function makes sense? I would really love to have it. Think just 1 or 2 doesn’?t make sense. If you are going for it , both needs to be implemented.

    Hi @a223123131!

    We have options for (most) of these features in the Pro version of Smart Slider:

    1. On the Slides tab there is a “Max Count” option:
    https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1809-slider-settings-slides#other

    2. We have a Randomize option:
    https://smartslider.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1809-slider-settings-slides#randomize

    These two were implemented for usecases like yours, that the “max count” works well with randomization, when you don’t want to load all your slides all the time.

    The option we currently don’t have is, that you cannot set how often the random order will change. In our case everytime you refresh the page, a randomization will happen.

    Oh, sorry… didn’t saw this. That’s pretty cool ??

    Do you plan to have an option to defin how randomization is changing? By session would be great. So if Someone comes to the site. Sees slider 1-5 and is klicking on slider 3 then he should have the same slides when he is comming back… maybe he is also interested in slide 1 but if this is change then that isn’t great.

    Hi @a223123131

    Currently we don’t have plans for such feature as we haven’t received any requests for it. But now I added it to our To Do list, so hopefully we will make it in the future.
