Why not add the breadcrumbs seperately from the products module/content?

For instance:


{breadcrumbs}
{content}


I always do it this way, and on pages breadcrumbs are not wanted (for instance 404 error pages, I just create an if statement).

For a 404 page that would be:

Code: Select all

{if $content_id < 0}
<!-- No breadcrumbs needed here, just dummy text. -->
{else}
{breadcrumbs}
{/if}
Hope that'll help ya.

This approach doesn't take in account products hierarchy. It shows only CMC pages structure, but in product detail page the breadcrumbs have to show Root\Products\Group1\Hierarchy1\The Product. The onboard {breadcrumbs} shows only this Root\Products\. Probably the Products module have to support new parameter breadcrumbs="1" or so.
Any more suggestions?

Ah, I see. I didn't know that, as I generally work with Cataloger rather then Products.

If so, I second your request, because breadcrumbs - especially in these sections of a website - are essential.

Hi there,

I do not know the module at all, but did you try to get the variables available: "get template vars" in wiki? Do you find variables that contain the values you need?

Hope this could bring you further to the solution.

This is just a guess... but it turned out for me, that CMSMS often has something that would do the trick. It is sometimes just a bit round the corner and when you find it, it is the most plausible solution when you understand it.... at least it happens to me quite often.

Yes--I tried that but there was nothing in there that would help.  :(  Thanks for the suggestion though.
