truncate Breadcrumbs?

i was wondering if anyone knows of a way to truncate the Breadcrumbs tag? simply adding

Code: Select all

|truncate:100
doesn't seem to work. a shame there's no way to "collapse" the path as you would with the menu. my problem is the site i'm working on has many sub-levels, and i don't want breadcrumbs to break to two lines...
any ideas?

Maybe you can create a menu template and do a reverse from the current item back to the top.
And use this instead of the basic breadcrumbs.

that's a great idea! didn't think of that. this way i can truncate each level separately instead of the whole line. much better...
but how do i show the path to the current page using the menu module? without showing other items of the same level? i don't think ti's possible...

i hope the breadcrumbs tag will get more options in the future.
