I was trying to limit the breadcrumbs output so as not to show first level menu items and after looking a little deeper into function  show_breadcrumbs()  and playing with the current parameters I didn't think this was possible?

For my example I copied & renamed the function  show_breadcrumbs()  into my templates index.php as per below and added a new parameter to the beginning of the sequence of parameters in the function.

I imagine this conditional statement could be coded better/differently as it may not be aware of conditions for advanced situations?

          if (count($bca)==1 && $noRootLevel==1)

Regards,

Matt



<div class="breadcrumb">
    <?php
            function show_breadcrumbsSpecial($noRootLevel=0,$sep=' > ',$tier=1,$links=true,$depth=-1) {
                global $wb;
                $page_id=$wb->page_id;
                if ($page_id!=0)
                {
                    global $database;
                    $bca=$wb->page_trail;
                    if (count($bca)==1 && $noRootLevel==1) {
                        echo '&nbsp;';
                    } else {
                    echo '<b>You are here:</b>&nbsp;';
                        $counter=0;
                        foreach ($bca as $temp)
                        {
                            if ($counter>=($tier-1) AND ($depth<0 OR $tier+$depth>$counter))
                            {
                                if ($counter>=$tier) echo $sep;
                                $query_menu=$database->query("SELECT menu_title,link FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."pages WHERE page_id=$temp");
                                $page=$query_menu->fetchRow();
                                if ($links==true AND $temp!=$page_id)
                                    echo '<a href="'.page_link($page['link']).'">'.$page['menu_title'].'</a>';
                                else
                                    echo $page['menu_title'];
                            }
                            $counter++;
                            }
                    }
                }
            }
        show_breadcrumbsSpecial(1);?>&nbsp;
</div>


Hello,

did you try it with a simply show_menu2 call? Look at the dokumentation of show_menu2, I'm pretty shure you can reach this with only one single line in your template, wich is much more better as to add whole functions in the template.

I did look at the docs for 'show_menu2', there was 2 examples of breadcrumb but neither could turn off the breadcrumb output when viewing a first level menu item. I also read in another forum about another module for breadcrumbs but the link was dead;

So i thought this modified function was okay, perhaps like you say not the best solution adding a function into template but i figure whether this function is called or another similar function called its still processing time and well, this little function works.  :-)

cheers,

Matt
