Hi Guys,

How do I trim the breadcrumbs to only show one (the first) entry?

Eric Barnes · 02-05-2009, 02:53 PM

I think we will need some more information. Let's say your breadcrumb looks like this:
Categories -> Autos -> Sedans

What would you want it to display? Sedans?

Sorry, I mean the second one along.

I've deleted: <a href="category.php" class="breadcrumb">{$smarty.const.LANG_BROWSE_CATE GORIES}</a>

So now I have whatever follows. In your example I'd like to trim it to Autos.

Why would you want to do this?

Bit of a long story...

But basically I'm trying to find a way to display which main category (country) the user is viewing in the top right corner of the site (pointless to me, but means the world to my client). My first idea was to put {categoryname} there, but that displayed country + category, soo, I was thinking of putting the first entry of the breadcrumb up there, which would be country name only.

Another idea I had was to create some kind of cookie after the main category (country) is clicked and have that name constantly displayed until another main category is clicked.

I'm totally a non-scripter noob coming from web-design background, but I pick up on things quite quickly if you guys can help?

That is pulled from includes/classes/kernel/Categories.php
function breadcrumb()

It basically loops through the categories to get them. So you would probably want to change the if to something like this:

Code:

if ($row['parent_id'] ==0) 
        {
            $path = $path;
        }

This is totally untested and I make no claims it works.

Nah, didn't work, but thanks for trying.

Maybe there needs to be a minus entry somewhere?
