jair101 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Will there be any performance issues if we enable the random setting on a topic with thousands of images? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reference, the Topic Summary itself fetches an array containing ALL the information about the images in a topic (not the images themselves, just the information about them) and then they slice the top 4 (the first 4) out of that array to then process for display. I randomise the array that they initially fetch, and I've written it in a way that shouldn't cause any major issues (you can see the method I've used here) - however I haven't tested with thousands of images (just a few hundred, at this time). Keep in mind: if the number of images to display is increased from the default 4, then obviously that increases the content that then has to be displayed in the browser.
