I am using a theme that shows a breadcrumb but I am only going 3 levels deep. The theme is laid out like this:

<ul class="breadcrumb">
									<li><a href="[[++site_url]]">Home</a></li>
									<li class="active">[[parentSnippet]] </li>
								</ul>

I am trying to get this line:

<li class="active">[[parentSnippet]] </li>

to output the Title of the Parent (if there is a parent. If not, then just have it output the current Page Title. I found this post: https://forums.modx.com/thread/?thread=11074&page=2 but this information is over 6 years old and none of the suggestions worked.

How can I output my pages Parent Title (or the current Page Title if there is no parent) to HTML for my template? I could not find any tags that might help me here.

Sorry, I don't know this snippet.

I'm using pdoTools, maybe you try that?

for example:

[[!pdoCrumbs?
  &context=`web`
  &depth=`6`
  &showHome=`1`
  &showAtHome=`0`
  &tplWrapper=`@INLINE <ul class="breadcrumb">[[+output]]</ul>`
  &tplCurrent=`@INLINE <li>[[+menutitle]]</li>`
  &tpl=`@INLINE <li><a href="[[+link]]">[[+menutitle]]</a></li>`
  &outputSeparator=``
]]

You could try &showContainer=`1` in the Breadcrumb snippet tag.

Thank you both, the pdoTools snippet with the &showContainer=`1` in the Breadcrumb snippet tag was the perfect fix.
