    Hi
    I use the toolbar item to add a thumbnail gallery with captions to my blog http://www.clearprop.co.uk under the Photo menu. I would like the images to appear in a random order.

    I have found [random max=”0″ template=”gallery-caption.php” id=”12″ /] this appears to work but I read this is not the preferred way anymore, also how would I set the ajax pagination…?

    so how do i set random order from the “NextGen Attach to post” widget?

    thanks

    @adrian – Although we recommend using the ATP as you have noted you are currently doing, there is currently no option to provide a “random” order to a gallery display.

    You can use the ATP to sort the images “randomly” yourself under the Sort / Exclude panel but that sort order would remain static once you inserted that galley.

    You can choose a random source for your images and it will pull images from all of your galleries and randomly use those.

    At the moment, to use a random selection of images from one (or more) gallery you would have to use a shortcode still … and add the parameter order_by="rand()"

    We are expanding this a bit further but if you would like to share your thoughts and ideas about adding a random option to the ATP please feel free to do so here: http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/feature-voting/

    Thanks!

    – Cais.
