Main Page - Featured products question

I would like to limit the number of featured products displayed on the Home Page to X.   I would like the pictures to be randomly selected from ALL products enabled as a featured product.  ie. set 12 products as featured, and then limit the featured products on the Home Page to 6.  Each time the page loads, it selects 6 random images from the 12 set as featured.

Does anything like this exist?  Would it be hard to do?

Spoke too soon...

What about 2.0?  Should have mentioned that in my post

For 2.10 and 2.20, change your HomepageProducts.cshtml view to the following (changes underlined):

@model HomePageProductsModel
@using Nop.Web.Framework.UI;
@using Nop.Web.Models.Catalog;
@if (Model.Products.Count > 0)
{
    <div class="product-grid home-page-product-grid">
        <div class="title">
            @T("HomePage.Products")
        </div>
        <div class="clear">
        </div>
        @{
            var products = Model.Products.OrderBy(x => Guid.NewGuid()).Take(6);
        }
        @if (Model.UseSmallProductBox)
        {
            @(Html.DataList<ProductModel>(products, 3,
            @<div class="item-box">
                @Html.Partial("_ProductSmallBox", @item)
            </div>
                ))
        }
        else
        {
        @(Html.DataList<ProductModel>(products, 2,
            @<div class="item-box">
                @Html.Partial("_ProductBox", @item)
            </div>
                ))
        }
    </div>
}

.

ugh, sorry... I should have been even MORE specific...  Didn't think this would be that different between 2.0 and 2.10

2.10... a few minor differences, model line, and lacking the if statements

@model IList<ProductModel>

@using Nop.Web.Framework.UI;
@using Nop.Web.Models.Catalog;
@if (Model.Count > 0)
{
    <div class="home-page-product-grid">
        <div class="title">
            @T("HomePage.Products")
        </div>
        <div class="clear">
        </div>
        @(Html.DataList<ProductModel>(Model, 3,
            @<div class="item-box">
                <div class="item">
                    <div class="product-title">
                        <a href="@Url.RouteUrl("Product", new { productId = item.Id, SeName = item.SeName })" title="@item.DefaultPictureModel.Title">
                            @item.Name</a>
                    </div>
                    <div class="picture">
                        <a href="@Url.RouteUrl("Product", new { productId = item.Id, SeName = item.SeName })" title="@item.DefaultPictureModel.Title">
                            <img style="border-width: 0px;" alt="@item.DefaultPictureModel.AlternateText" src="@item.DefaultPictureModel.ImageUrl"
                                        title="@item.DefaultPictureModel.Title" /></a>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
            ))
    </div>
}

For 2.00, change your HomepageProducts.cshtml view to the following (change underlined, line 13):

@model IList<ProductModel>

@using Nop.Web.Framework.UI;
@using Nop.Web.Models.Catalog;
@if (Model.Count > 0)
{
    <div class="home-page-product-grid">
        <div class="title">
            @T("HomePage.Products")
        </div>
        <div class="clear">
        </div>
        @(Html.DataList<ProductModel>(Model.OrderBy(x => Guid.NewGuid()).Take(6), 3,
            @<div class="item-box">
                <div class="item">
                    <div class="product-title">
                        <a href="@Url.RouteUrl("Product", new { productId = item.Id, SeName = item.SeName })" title="@item.DefaultPictureModel.Title">
                            @item.Name</a>
                    </div>
                    <div class="picture">
                        <a href="@Url.RouteUrl("Product", new { productId = item.Id, SeName = item.SeName })" title="@item.DefaultPictureModel.Title">
                            <img style="border-width: 0px;" alt="@item.DefaultPictureModel.AlternateText" src="@item.DefaultPictureModel.ImageUrl"
                                        title="@item.DefaultPictureModel.Title" /></a>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
            ))
    </div>
}

This doesn't seem to work with 2.80.
