It is somehting to do with Vqmod, I have hard coded the random products, now my cart does display random products. This is for version 1.5.x of OC
I have followed what ohers have said in the thread listed above before you ask
Details of temporary workaround....
File: catalog/controller/module/latest.php
Download and create a copy, call it latest.php.original or similar
Edit the file, and do...
Search for: 'limit' => $setting['limit']
Replace with: 'limit' => ($setting['limit'] * 10)
Search for: $results = $this->model_catalog_product->getProducts($data);
Add after:
srand((float)microtime() * 1000000);
shuffle($results);
$results = array_slice($results, 0, $setting['limit']);
Save and re-upload to the same location on your server, replace or rename original file, hit CTRL + F5 twice, it should work as it does for me
This info has been taken from the Quphoria vqmod .xml file called: Randomize_Latest_Products_NoStrain.xml
