Randomize Homepage Hero CMS Collection Load Problem

[JosiahZ]

I’m currently working through a homepage header that is driven by CMS collection data, and am hoping to show only one collection at a time, and randomize what displays each time the page loads.

Here is my read-only link: Webflow - Bosh Advisors

Currently, I have my collection list set to ‘Limit Items’, and to show 1 at a time. I’ve also set the ‘Sort Order’ to ‘Random, Shuffle’, after reading this article in the Webflow Forum. However, it isn’t reliably randomizing for me or my client on every page load. I’m not sure what’s currently causing it to shuffle when it does, but I’d love for it to truly randomize every single time the page is reloaded with a different collection list.

Is this a reliable way to accomplish randomizing hero header content, to keep it easily updatable in the future by my client?

Is there a better way to accomplish this?

Thanks!

RESOLVED:

This was solved using @Iskandar’s custom code solution in this thread:

Showing one random collection item on refresh (bypassing the 12 hour CDN server refresh)

Hi Rosario, I believe you can simply use the filters build in Webflow. E.g. I have a collection named “Client Logos”. In the designer I select the collection list, then I add a filter through the menu on the right side of the screen where I select “Client Logo is not Current Client Logo”.

Thank you @Iksandar for the solution!
