Have your paginator skip around at random, simply put a custom paginator at bottom with next and previous, the user won't know they are not going to the actual next page. Have the next link call for a random page number, but always have the previous link actually return to the previous page the user was on. Should be fairly easy to work out with a little bit of juggling of some if statements in the controller.

Order by random with pagination
Hi.
I would like to show some photos in a random order.
The thing is that I would like to paginate those photos and not to repeat the ones which have been appeared.
One option is this (thx to @rodrigo.pera) : "persisting or caching this random order, and maybe once a day rebuilding it. The rebuilding step can be done by scheduling a custom artisan command."
What other options could be?
Thx.
