I have installed the shuffle operator and it works when I test it with this code in pagelayout.tpl

{let randomised_array=fetch('content','tree', hash('parent_node_id', '177'))|shuffle}
{section name=random loop=$randomised_array}
{$:item.name} -- testing</br>
{/section}
{/let}

What I want to do is to show random images from Media library/images.

Hi,

Have you tried with the parent_node_id set to 51 (media/images) ?

then use an embed view (by default, it displays the image.

This code shows random image from folder 73. If I change it to 51 it shows nothing. Why?

{let randomised_array=fetch('content','tree', hash('parent_node_id', '73',
						class_filter_type, "include", class_filter_array, array(5)))|shuffle}
{section name=random loop=$randomised_array max=1}
<img src={$random:item.object.data_map.image.content[medium].full_path|ezroot} border="0">
{/section}
{/let}

Hi Niklas!

Permission issue? Anonymous users need "read" permission to the media section (or at least the folders where your images are)
