One functionality that is possible with most other Joomla slideshow modules is the ability to display a random order in the slideshow view (i.e. a different order each time someone starts a new session on the site).
Also, most allow you to provide a limited number of (random) images displayed per session - even if the 'available' image count is greater. i.e. The 'filter' returns a potential of 150 images to show in the slideshow; but, only display 10 of those images per session (because nobody's going to sit there for 150 images and it wastes loading time/bandwidth).
I'm guessing that we should be able to do this using php at some point in the process - maybe on the list - either as a part of the filtering query (i.e. 'limit 10' etc.) - or possibly as a PHP plugin activity on the list.
Has anyone else had any experience attempting this sort of functionality on the slideshow visualization?
