Breadcrumb Navigation

[Graham]

When selecting a cat or subcat, there isnt an obvious route back to the Home Page except for clicking the Logo ie :

» Clay Shooting » England

where I would expect

» Home » Clay Shooting » England

Clicking Home on the Main Menu doesnt seem to work ???

Have I set something (else) up wrong ?

Thanks

Have you applied upgrade patch? Home button was fixed there.

For breadcrumbs... did you enter site title in the admin panel? (configs > General configurations)

[Greg]

And at a later date if you would rather have "Home" instead of the site title, I'll post a simple mod for that.

Hi Greg,

Thanks - I removed the site title from the config section as I thought it cluttered up the screen, and the site name was already evident from the Logo.

I only downloaded the Pro version yesterday, and havent applied any patches, is the patch to fix the HOME option on the menu available from the download section?

With regard to a mod - would it be possible to have home in the breadcrumbs while still leaving the site name in the config section blank?

I think there's enough in the home page without repeating the site name

Thanks again for your help!!

In your templates/your-template/Layout.php file find this section: /**
* Returns HTML code for breadcrumb display
*
* @param int $aCategory category id
* @param arr $aAdditional additional elements for breadcrumb
* @param bool $aFull if TRUE latest element is a link
*
* @return str
*/
function print_breadcrumb($aCategory, $aAdditional = '', $aFull = FALSE)
{
global $gDirDb;
global $gDirConfig;
global $gDirLang;

$out = '<div class="breadcrumb">';

if ($aCategory > 0)
{
$gDirDb->getBreadcrumb($aCategory, $breadcrumb);
$breadcrumb = array_reverse($breadcrumb);
}

$url = "{$gDirConfig['base']}{$gDirConfig['dir']}";
$out .= "<a href=\"{$url}\">{$gDirConfig['site']}</a>";
Replace part in red with word "Home" or whatever word you want and save file.

That's it.

Yes Download and apply the patch. It fixes other issues too.
Just overwrite the files. If you've made any changes you'll have to redo them. Such as the one above. You may have to also add the following changes (to your template) shown in this thread.

Hi Greg, I downloaded and ftp'd the patch files onto my site, but the "HOME" on the main Menu still doesnt work - it isnt that much of an issue now as I have Home >> in the breadcrumbs - it would be nice to have it working though - can you tell me which file contained this particular fix - it may be that it didnt upload properly

Thanks

Please check section #3 in the post Greg mentioned - this should fix the "home" button
