Display Random Products in a Slider

Hi,

I've had a request to insert a slider on the home page that grabs 10-12 products at random and shows them in the slider.

Is that even possible?

Yes, but you have to implement it yourself as it's not available yet as plugin out of the box

Fair enough,

Now, for implementing and because it's a separate content element but it connects to Aimeos DB, what is the best approach to take? Do we need to make a separate TYPO3 extension and upload to the TER? Do we extend an existing Aimeos plugin (ex Catalog list)?

I appreciate your recommendation,
-S.

The easiest way is to create a plugin in your own Aimeos TYPO3 extension and use the index manager to retrieve the products from the storage: https://aimeos.org/docs/TYPO3/Extend_Aimeos
