      Hi.

      I’ve run into a little quirk...

      I expected the Breadcrumbs to show "Home" when I am on the home page, but that is the only time it leaves it out. My "About Us" is under the Home Page and then I see...

      Home >> Home >> About Us

      ...and I can live with that, but then just "Home" should show-up as the current location when on the home page.

      The pages I am working on (and referring to) are at:

      http://www.elstonmfg.com/index.php
      http://www.elstonmfg.com/home/about.html

      ...if you need to check it.

      Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have!
      -Doug

        I’ve got a question.

        I have a page under the following hierarchy:

        Homepage
        |___> page 2
        |____> page 3

        On the homepage and page 2 the breadcrumbs works as expected showing "Homepage" on the homepage and "Homepage > page2" on page 2.

        But on page 3 I only get:
        "Homepage > page 3" while I want/expect "Homepage > page2 > page 3".

        How do I get this right?

        I’m using Revolution RC1 with breadcrumbs 1.1 RC1
        using the call
        [[Breadcrumbs? &showHomeCrumb=`0` &showCrumbsAtHome=`1` &respectHidemenu=`0`]]

          Discovered the problem.

          Using my startpage as the first hierarchy container created all sorts of problems.
          By moving "Page2" to the root and using the following it works properly.
          [[Breadcrumbs? &showHomeCrumb=`1`]]


          new hierarchy:

          homepage
          page2
          |___> page3

          Is it on purpose that using the startpage as a hierarchy container gives problems with the breadcrumbs or is this a bug?
          Would be a good idea to at least put something about this in the documentation of the breadcrumbs snippet.
          Should I file a bugreport on Jira splittingred?

            I think you are having the same problem that I described in my previous posts. Is the about page located under the startpage?

            To display the path on the startpage you need:
            [[Breadcrumbs? &showHomeCrumb=`1`]]

              Nope. That doesn’t seem to make a bit of difference.

              http://www.elstonmfg.com/ (is the home page)
              http://www.elstonmfg.com/home/about.html (is the page which is a submenu item from the home page)

              I get:
              Home >> Home >> About Us
              ...on the About Us page.

              Looks really strange and kooky to me. There really should be an easy fix for this.

                Can you try moving the about page to the root instead of it being a subitem of the homepage?
                (You can easily drag and drop it, and also back again to get current layout back)

                Now:
                -homepage
                |___> about

                Try:
                -homepage
                -about

                I think it is a bug related to the start page of the site.

                Oh and I made a mistake in my previous post. The code to display the path on the home should be:
                [[Breadcrumbs? &showCrumbsAtHome=`1`]]

                  No, I can’t do that, this is how the company modified the menu even though I wanted it that way and the original design was set to work that way.

                  The customer is not right, but in the end, if insistent enough, will get thier own way despite my better judgement.

                  But I will try that piece of code, that Breadcrumb argument you just gave, eventually. I’m still trying to optimize that website even further for those farmers and old truck mechanics using older computers in rural settings with poor internet access.

                  Thanks! -Doug

                    Well, that doesn’t seem to fix anything either, but thanks for trying. Still have a problem there, though.

                      I am running modx 2.0.0-rc-1 with breadcrumbs 1.1-rc1. When I include breadcrumbs on my pages the links are incorrect. The pages display properly, but the URL is wrong.

                      My Breadcrumb layout looks like this.
                      Home >> Page1 >> Page2
                      Page2 is a subdocument of Page1

                      My URL’s display like this for the above breadcrumb layout
                      URL for Page1 displays:
                      http://www.example.com/page1/page1.html

                      It should display:
                      http://www.example.com/page1.html

                      Does anyone know why the URL’s are displaying wrong?
