asv_breadcrumb
last updated 10/15/2006

Description
I created this plugin due to issues I was having with <code><txp:breadcrumb /></code>. It addresses issues with <code>txp:breadcrumb /</code>and expands on the usability. I started with the function for <code>txp:breadcrumb /</code> written for TXP 4.0.4 RC1. This function had addressed issue with changing the label for the home link. But it wouldn’t show the category when viewing an individual article. This has been addressed in this plugin. Please review the attributes below to also see new features. I tried to build it so that by default it should mimic txp:breadcrumb.

Attributes
wraptag – This sets the tag that is wrapped around the entire breadcrumb. By default it is ‘p’.
sep – This sets the seperator between each breadcrumb. By default it is ‘&#160;&#187;&#160’.
link – This sets whether to create a link to the pieces in the breadcrumb. By default it is ‘y’.
label – This sets the text for your homepage. By default it is the sitename defined in your preferences.
title – This sets to show the title or the name. ‘y’ will show show the title, and blank will show the name. By default it is blank.
class – This sets the class to be used for the entire breadcrumb. By default it is blank.
linkclass – This sets the class for each individual link. By default it is ‘noline’
showsection – This sets whether to include the section name in the breadcrumb. By default it is true.
homepage – This sets whether to show a home link on the home page or nothing at all. By default it is ‘n’ and will not show the home page link.
catsep – If you have an article with two categories this will seperate the two category trees. By default it is ‘/’.

Amit, this plugin looks great, just what I need but the links above don’t seem to
work.

You may want to update the listing at Textpattern Resources to match your new download location.

Anyone have a compiled version of this? It’s a shame the default TXP breadcrumbs cannot show the ‘home’ link, pretty standard requirement (for design consistency).

Sorry I should update links …. http://asv-plugins.googlecode.com/svn/releases/asv_breadcrumb/asv_breadcrumb_v1.0.txt

Perfect timing – thanks.

Edit: FYI showsection is set to false by default, contrary to the help file instructions

I can’t seem to get the homepage=“y” attribute to function right. Is this the correct use: <txp:breadcrumb class=“breadcrumbs” wraptag=“p” homepage=“y” /> ?

That doesn’t seem to work for me, it returns a blank <.p /> tag

@riot
try using single quotes. I hastily created this plugin and after revisiting it recently I’ve noticed several inconsistencies. I’ll do more unit testing tomorrow.

@rossharvey
You’re semi-right. Due to a bug in my coding the default of showsection is false. I will correct this and republish the plugin.

variaas · 2007-06-02 05:59:55

@riot – I just realized something. Make sure your tag is for asv_breadcrumb not just breadcrumb.

<txp:asv_breadcrumb class=“breadcrumbs” wraptag=“p” homepage=“y” />

riot · 2007-06-02 13:48:08

If I use what you posted this is what it outputs: <“p” class=”“breadcrumbs”” />

i nested my all my categories in another category called “products”.

this plugin gets as close as i want, but i want it to not display that top-level category “products” in the breadcrumb. also it outputs the name of the category by its article category title, rather than article category name which is more elegant. let me know if anyone knows how i can fix the output.

also i agree the new link should be fixed on textpattern resources.
