Like before, the best way is to fetch the image count with list_count or tree_count.
Then generate a random number between 0 and count -1, and fetch the image with the random number as offset and limit = 1 using list of tree fetch(depending on what you used to get image count).

Thanks Andre for your kind help. One thing, here I want to display 3 images, if in the folder the images are more than 3 then they will rotate/shuffle . Any clue?

We have updated the shuffle operator extension for use with 4.0. I will see if we can get it packaged up and uploaded.

Hi Mark, Thanks for your kind help and uploading the contribution, would it be possible to have some idea what changes you made to make it work on ezpublish4.0. I am in the process of upgrading few sites from 3.6.0 to 4.0. It might help....

In this particular extension, the upgrade was a matter of removing a single "&" from the existing code. Other extensions that we have had to upgrade for 4.0 took significantly more time.
