Random post slider

Hi reddishpinkmedia!

Thank you for coming back.

There is a filter hook, where you can manipulate the query parameters.

In functions.php use code like:

 add_filter('avia_post_slide_query', 'my_avia_post_slide_query', 10, 2);
 
 function my_avia_post_slide_query($query, $params)
 {
	 
	 $query['orderby'] = 'rand';
	 
	 return $query;
 }

More info about $param you find at: enfold\config-templatebuilder\avia-shortcodes\postslider.php line 452 – 510.

Cheers!
Günter

Hey!

Thank you for coming back.

There is only a workaround:

In functions.php at the bottom activate custom css for the ALB:

/*
 * add option to edit elements via css class
 */
 add_theme_support('avia_template_builder_custom_css');

This adds a field Custom Css Class at the bottom of the post slider popup.
Enter there a name to the slider(s) you want to change, e.g. my_random_sliders

Replace the code above with the following:

add_filter('avia_post_slide_query', 'my_avia_post_slide_query', 10, 2);
 
 function my_avia_post_slide_query($query, $params)
 {
	 $needle = 'my_random_sliders';
	 if( isset($params['class']) && ( stripos( $params['class'], $needle ) !== false) )
	 {
		$query['orderby'] = 'rand';
	 }
	 
	 return $query;
 }

Cheers!
Günter
