I have been running JR5 for while and I noticed that the featured artists and songs do not change.They have been the same since i imported them.

In JR4,the featured lists are randomly changed each time the page is refreshed or loaded.Is their something i need to change?

You can likely set the featured artists in the skin settings, but if you want the random, you'll probably have to modify a template.
Which skin are you running?

Nova skin...I believe if the setting is left blank,then the lists are randomly generated.

If you are referring to the featured tabs, they do show random if you have not added profile ID's to the skin setting for those tabs. However, if you have cache turned on, they will not change until the cache timer has run out.

Hope this helps,
Douglas

Do the lists show random if you turn the caching off?

Also, if you do not have very many artists and songs, the same images may show more than if you had say 20 or 100 artists or songs.

Looks like there is an error in the Nova/header.tpl jrCore_list call - this is from the latest Nova skin (not sure if this just changed) - but this:

order_by="_profile_id numerical_desc random"

should be this:

order_by="_profile_id random"

Douglas can you fix that up in the Nova skin?

Let us know if that fixes it for you.

Hope this helps!
