Does anyone know how to set up page breadcrumbs in expression engine. I’ve tried thePages Crumbs Plug-in but it’s not displaying. Does anyone have any other resources i could uses or advice on how to manually set it up.

pi.pages_crumb.php is intented to create bread crumbs for the pages [tome] module only, otherwise it does not produce output.  I’m currently working on/looking for a pi to do bread crumbs.  I’ll update here if I come up with/find something.

Good luck.

There’s really no one right answer here, as it will depend on how you’ve implemented your site. 

I typically create an embedded template that has the root of the BC trail specified, then pass it whatever else I need for the template that I’m on.  This could be hardcoded links, or links generated by weblog:entries tags, relatioships, or weblog:category tags as needed.

Here’s one example:

{embed="embeds/breadcrumb_trail" breadcrumbs="> <a href='/na/products/'>{my_section}</a> > {related_entries id="product_family"}<a href="/na/products/family/{url_title}/">{title}</a> > {/related_entries}{title} {/exp:weblog:entries}"}
