Hi,
Is there a way to make the result pages show by "Random" on productfinder?
I saw on another post that it is possible in custom properties
I thank you in advance for your attention to the present request.

Having the results randomly sorted defies the purpose of productfinder, that is to have results sorted by score with the most recommended items on top.
Could you please elaborate more?

Hi Andrea, Thanks for your quick response.
I'm using productfinder to make a kind of "custom searcher". Let me explain, what i want to do is a little website where you can find recipes. It would be great that you could get only one recipe for each search.
Please excuse my limited English

There's a way, but it requires a tiny little modification to the code.
First you need to set questionnares parameters properly.
- Edit your questionnaire *menu item*.
- Set "Results limit" = 1
- Set "Primary order" = Score
This way the questionnaire will sort the results placing the ones with the highest scores at the top, and it will return only 1 result.
Then the add the following line of code to file components/com_productfinder/connectors/articles.php, at line 314
So that the bottom of that function looks like this:

$order = 'pfitem_hits DESC';
break;
}
$order = ' RAND()';
return $order;
