Retrieve a number of randomly-chosen products in Shopify

by Kiet Huynh · December 5, 2015

I need a solution for retrieving a number of randomly-chosen products on my homepage (or any pages). I read in here: Featuring a number of randomly-chosen products on your homepage. But I think It’s not good for me. I continue reading an article here: Featuring one randomly-chosen product on your homepage. I think it’s a good solution. Really this solution supports retrieving only a product, but I can get more if I change the variant for “limit”. Good…. But after that I found an issue with it.

Example: That collection has 10 products and I want to retrieve 5 products. All are OK if the index number is 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 but if the index number is greater than 5 We will miss some products.

I’m thinking… and after I have solved this issue. Sharing with everybody.

Get index number:

{% capture index %}{{ 'now' | date: '%S' | times: collection.products.size | divided_by: 60 }}{% endcapture %}

1	{% capture index %}{{ 'now' \| date: '%S' \| times: collection.products.size \| divided_by: 60 }}{% endcapture %}

Count product missing

{% assign number_product_miss = collection.products.size | minus: index %}
{% assign number_product_miss = number_to_show | minus: number_product_miss %}

1 2	{% assign number_product_miss = collection.products.size \| minus: index %} {% assign number_product_miss = number_to_show \| minus: number_product_miss %}

Now we can show products

{% for product in collection.products offset:index limit: number_to_show %}
PRODUCT LIST CODE
{% endfor %}

{% for product in collection.products offset:index limit: number_to_show %}

PRODUCT LIST CODE

{% endfor %}

If the current index doesn’t take up enough of the products. We need add below code:

{% if number_product_miss > 0 %}
{% for product in collection.products offset:0 limit: number_product_miss %}
PRODUCT LIST CODE
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}

{% if number_product_miss > 0 %}

{% for product in collection.products offset:0 limit: number_product_miss %}

PRODUCT LIST CODE

{% endfor %}

{% endif %}
