Thread

I’ve been struggling with this for a few hours now, and I’m sure it’s easy as pie, but I need help:

I have a weblog called recipes here:
http://www.hutchinsonscorner.com/recipes/

and I have the following code for my breadcrumb:

You're viewing [url={path=recipes/index}]Recipes[/url] | {categories}[url={path=recipes/index}]{category_name}[/url] | {/categories} {title}

The path works fine when I’m on the main recipes page, and when I’m viewing a full article, like this:
http://www.hutchinsonscorner.com/recipes/view/old-fashioned-granola/

However, if you click on the category to view only recipes in that category, it only shows ‘Recipes’ and not ‘Recipes | Breakfast’ (for example)

Can anyone see where I’ve gone wrong?

Thanks in advance!
LAURA 😊

Sorry I couldn’t figure out how to correctly insert my proper code with a href’s - hopefully it makes sense!

Hey Laura,
Look through this post.
There is no out-of-box display of /parent_cat/child_cat/entry_title ...in other words, yes only one category will be in url. This might be some food for thought when making choice on weblogs or categories. I have also benefited from this thread.
Somewhere in between you should find what fits your design goals.
All the best!

Thanks very much for your help -

This was how I solved my issue:

1. Download and installed the Find and Replace plugin

2. Download and install the PHP Text Format plugin

3. Insert the following code where I wanted the breadcrumb to display:

<a >Home</a> ›
{if segment_1 !=""}<a >{exp:php_text_format type="ucwords"}{segment_1}{/exp:php_text_format}</a> {/if}
{if segment_2 =="category"}› <a >{exp:php_text_format type="ucwords"}{exp:replace replace="SPACE" find="_"}{segment_3}{/exp:replace}{/exp:php_text_format}</a> {/if}
{if segment_2 =="view"}› {exp:weblog:entries weblog="recipes" limit="1" disable="trackbacks"}{title}{/exp:weblog:entries}{/if}
{exp:php_text_format}

* I can’t figure out here how to post the code with links intact - so above you will have to include “/{segment_1}” title=”{segment_1}” and “/{segment_3}” title=”{segment_3}” where there are empty <a > tags

You will have to change the “view” and “category” to your own templates, but you can probably expand this if you have more levels.

Hope this helps someone -

Thanks again
