Random 5 is not realy random!

It seems that the pets in the random 5 realy are not random at all!
they are just 5 of the top 10...
Is there anyway to make it random from all the pets?

RE: Random 5 is not realy random!

How many pets do you have on your site? The random is generated by the server time, so refreshing the page many times in a short timespan will show many of the same pets.

RE: Random 5 is not realy random!

Actually the bottom five are set to order by clicks .. not by random. Simple error with all the coding you did for this release. I fixed the issue on Mystic Grove and moved them to a page of their own. But it is currently set to oder by clicks and not random in the script download.

i fixed it by using this code:

PHP Code:


		
			
$query = "SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."owned_adoptables ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 5 OFFSET ".$offset."";

instead of this one

PHP Code:


		
			
$query = "SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."owned_adoptables ORDER BY totalclicks DESC LIMIT 20 OFFSET ".$offset."";

on stats.php. and *poof* its seems that its now randomly listed.

:D
