How can I randomise the order of media files on a page?

Question

Hello, I would like to know how I can randomise the order of three images (all in a row on one page) in order to avoid sequence effects. Unfortunately, so far I have only been able to randomise to the extent that each image appears randomly (with a probability of 1:3), i.e. it can happen that the same image appears two or three times. However, each of the three images should only appear once and, as I said, only the order should be randomised. Unfortunately, "Rotate questions" only works with questions. So far I really haven't found anything that solves my problem. I would be very grateful for an answer as soon as possible. Best regards, Katharina

Unfortunately, "Rotate questions" only works with questions.

That is not exatly true. Create thrww "texts" with the HTML code to display an image (each), and use their IDs - done.

That, however, is not as elegant as one might wish. It would be more elegant to draw 3 codes from a random generator with the three images as content, and than do this:

// Draw from the random generator
show('RG01');
// Read the three image names
$images = valueList('RG01', NULL, 'label');
// Show them
foreach ($images as $image) {
  html('<div><img src="'.$image.'" alt=""></div>');
}
