Recipe for outputting random material in the module:
Go into the “Module Manager”, create a new module “Materials – News” (if you want to display not materials as a whole, but titles – then use the “Latest News”). Choose the desired category with articles that you want to display in random order. In the main parameters of the module in the field “Order” set “Random”. To make the material change on every page refresh, you must remove the checkbox “caching”.
Voila!
