Try something like this:
class ProductsController extends AppController {
var $paginate = array(
'Product' => array(
'order' => 'RAND()',
'limit' => 10
)
);
function random() {
if ($this->Session->check('Products.randomSeed')) {
$seed = $this->Session->read('Products.randomSeed');
}
else {
$seed = mt_rand();
$this->Session->write('Products.randomSeed', $seed);
}
$this->paginate['Product']['order'] = sprintf('RAND(%d)', $seed);
// ...
$products = $this->paginate();
// ...
}
}
Should do the trick, might need a bit of tinkering though
