Randomizer 1.5 is rebuilt for Joomla 4, 5, and 6. Use Module Mode to rotate banners, CTAs, testimonials, or any published site module. Use Article Mode to surface related reading, featured stories, or a rotating content strip without custom template code.

Why site owners choose it

• Two clear modes: Module Mode or Article Mode in one module
• Module pool rotation: pick several published modules; one is shown per load
• Article filters: categories, tags, featured only, exclude IDs, exclude current article
• Ordering choices: random, newest date, most hits, or title
• Three article layouts: default list, responsive grid, Bootstrap carousel
• Display controls: title, image position, intro or full text, read more, open in new window
• Caching option: cache non-random article selections for performance
• Joomla 4 / 5 / 6 ready: services, dispatcher, namespaces, Web Asset Manager, no jQuery dependency for core behaviour
