is it possible to Randomize articles shown in JA-news?

for example every time you open the front page you get a different article from the same category as the highlight with the image? if you refresh a different article is the highlight.

Or you use the same category twice, with different articles highlighted….

this would be very nice for a portfolio site 🙂

Any of you php-gurus know what to add to the mod_janews.php 😉

Open your mod_janews.php file and go to line 223 you will see:
[PHP]. “n ORDER BY f.ordering ASC limit 1”;[/PHP]
Comment it and add:
[PHP]. “n ORDER BY rand() limit 1”;[/PHP]
It will randomize headline news selection.

And go to line 336 (may be now is 337 😉 ), you will see:
[PHP]. “n ORDER BY a.created DESC limit ” . ($linksitem+1);[/PHP]
Comment it and add:
[PHP]. “n ORDER BY rand() limit ” . ($linksitem+1);[/PHP]
It will randomize news selection in category.
