...use breadcrumbs?

So I’m finally getting around to playing with RC3 on my test server, and one of the things that really excites me is the built-in breadcrumbs; if I can get them working just right that’ll be one less plugin I need. But I can’t find any useful documentation of the txp:breadcrumb tag anywhere, and I’ve got more than a couple questions that haven’t been resolved by poking it to see how it behaves:

• What, exactly, is the “label” attribute for? It doesn’t seem to show up anywhere.

• How do I get the breadcrumbs to show up on the front page of the site?

• tcm_crumbs lets me assign a particular name to the “home” link; txp:breadcrumb seems to just use the site name, and I’d like to be able to change that. Is that possible?

• Currently I force capitalization of the section titles with the CSS text-transform property. Can I coerce txp:breadcrumb into capitalizing section names in its output and dump the CSS workaround?

Any information would be appreciated.

Re: ...use breadcrumbs?

Yeah, but it still doesn’t clear up the problem with the label; I’ve got a test site using breadcrumbs with a label, but the label never shows up.

Also, I was hoping that there’d be some way to force the breadcrumbs on the front page of the site, but I guess not.

Re: ...use breadcrumbs?

I am using breadcumbs on neme.org. I am with you in not knowing what the label does but I guess most would not need breadcrums on the front page.

My site resides in a subfolder so I hand coded the home page link
In my forms I have (part of the code) … <code>
<txp:if_individual_article>
…
<a href=“http://www.neme.org/”>Home Page</a>/<txp:breadcrumb sep=”/” link=“y” wraptag=“span” />
…</txp:if_individual_article></code>

Hope this helps..

Re: ...use breadcrumbs?

How does it output the HTML for this tag?

Personally, I think that semantically breadcrumbing is an ordered list – can you do that with this tag?

Re: ...use breadcrumbs?

The label attribute I think is only if you switch hyperlinking off.Because the default /Home page can not have breadcrumb output you use the labelattribute to set your parent value here:
So for example if you have a section = about and set label to “home” it ‘ll output : Home/[beadcrumbsep]/about.

Re: ...use breadcrumbs?

Hi All,

Is there any way to apply CSS to the breadcrumbs tag?
