hi… steph, this a wonderful plugin, thank you..
and a very belated congratulations to you on your marriage and new last name.

i have a quesiton… my site is subdomained.. so right now the breadcrumbs show:

<strong>Home
> Title
> Article</strong>

where it should really just show

<strong>Home
> Article</strong>

any suggestions as to how i might go about this?

steph · 2004-06-18 22:41:41

Off the top of my head, no. It does Home > Article on my install. Are you using categories? And do the URLs go to the right places?

BTW, putting @#crumbs li { display: inline; } in your CSS will put the crumbs all on one line. Must remember to include that in the usage notes…

When I use the plugin, the section link shows up if I’m in an article of that section but not if I’m at the top of the section itself. So when I’m at mysite.com/about it just says home but when I’m at mysite/about/1/some-article it showes “home about” . Is this the proper behavior? Could I get it so it would tell you what section you are in, even if you are at the top of that section?

Thanks,
Brad

How do I get it to show a default path like: Home > News ?

i am using categories.. but i don’t suppose that matters much since the breadcrumbs are only recognizing sections, right..?
… the URLs are giong to their proper places
my quickfix to my subdomain thing (since my textpattern site is on a subdomain rather than its own domain) is to just remove the “Home” statement. so if it’s on the front page, there are no breadcrumbs. if it’s anywhere else on the page, it shows:

You are here: »Title   » Article

EDIT:
okay… about that

Is there a solution to using Clean URLs for example

was wondering if there was a way to implement it with sections.

for example mysite when you click on about, i would like the crumbs to show about, but you have to click on an article for this to happen.

perhaps this is more of a textpattern question? Sorry i’m a tad new.

****************
Edit: Nevermind. I figured one way out, I just changed my link to
“/about/article” which seems to work.

PS Thanks for the nice plugin.

Okay, just a little poll – what’s the best way to handle breadcrumbs?

Home » Section » Article

home » Category » Article

Home » Section » Category » Article

?

Home > Section > Category > Article

tmacwrig · 2004-07-24 03:02:30

what if there are two categories?

tinyfly · 2004-07-24 04:39:17

I like Home > Section > Article

The way I see it the category isn’t really a navigational section. It isn’t really useful way to show a user where they are with relation to the home page.

Categories are a way to sort articles that live in a certain section.

Breadcrumbs point to where the article lives which is no deeper than the section you find it.

But of course there are many ways that people like to structure their breadcrumbs and the only way to really get a good idea is to actually test users of your site and see what works best for them.

In addition to alicson posting (“…You are here: »Title » Article”)

how to make articles title last word in breadcrumbs

example: I have the article “my works” in “about me” section (no categoties in this section). So, I want this:

home > about me > my works

(the title “my works” should not to be a link in crumbs)

(I’m going to write a breadcrumbs plugin after I finish cleaning up my site’s CSS)

tmacwrig · 2004-07-24 23:43:50

here’s what I came up with. This should alleviate some problems, etc. Only thing that’s missing (currently) is the article name.
