Randomize Simple list after refresh

Site URL: https://guava-cello-rs42.squarespace.com

Hi! 
 

a customer with a huge team want to add his team to his website. On the home he want to appear the team in random way. And he want to give a bio and link to socials for every team member. Prefered, he only need to update the team on one page to keep them updated everywhere. 
I was looking at a simple list. But a list doesn’t work with a summary. 
I could build it with a blog, summary, code to prevent clicking trough to the blog, … A lot of code and maybe there is a lot easier solution. 
 

anyone a direction or solution?

thanks

If it helps, the Lazy Summaries plugin (affiliate link) by Squarewebsites can randomise the sorting of blog posts in a Summary Block. It raises the limit on summary blocks to 250 items.

Thx Paul! I know. Love that plugin! 😊

I think the first step is to have the stuff you want randomized (the people cards) added to a container. Upon which you can randomize the children of that container. Both can be done with javascript very easily. Currently when I inspect the team page, I notice that the title and the cards are all directly added to a section, which means the title will be randomized too unless you omit it. You could put all the people cards into their own private section and randomize its content.  However, the way I would do it is create a script which looks at that section and then re-organizes the content into a neat html structure such as a grid within a div and then append that Div back to the section. This way you wont have to supply content outside of the squarespace editor and will have more control over the internal structure through javascript.

Indeed, the entyre team is now build on a section with elements. That was his first attempt. But after a half day of work (because on mobile it's quite a job 😅) he changed his mind. So now I'm first looking for the best way to do this. 

What you mension is what I'm looking for. Any idea where I can find the code to get this working?

Thanks for the reply Leo!
