CategoryBreadCrumbs shows only top level categories

[MMIKAL]

Hi Guys

The CategoryBreadCrumbs on all categroy pages shows only top level (first category) and does not show the category trail.
The BreadCrumbsRepeater.Controls.Count is always 2, no matter how deep you are. The CategorySearchSidebar on the page is working OK.
We have several subcategories ( 4 levels) and we have not modified the code, the original code is not working.

This is very critical for us, any help is appriciated. Thanks

It seems the CatgoryBreadCrum is updated using paramter passed on the address (Category.aspx?CategoryId=XXX) and the CategorySearchBar does not update the CategoryID parameter. The CategorySeachBar changes the content based on selected category in narrow/Expand and the content is changed accordingly, but a CategoryId is not passed and therefore the BreadCrumb is not updated.

I was wondering if this a normal behavior? and Any hint on how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

No response for over a week, At least can somebody confirm I am right or not ?

What is your application version? Are you running the page in question in out of the box configuration or you moved things around to suit your needs? If you customized the page what is current configuration of the page means what's in its sidebar, what's in its content section etc.

Give a try and edit your Conlib/CategoryBreadCrumbs.ascx.cs file and locate following line

Code: Select all

        this.CategoryId = PageHelper.GetCategoryId(true);

and update it as

Code: Select all

if(this.CategoryId==0)
        this.CategoryId = PageHelper.GetCategoryId(true);

save the changes and then test. See if it fixed the issue or not.

I am just wondering, isn't it suppose to be there by default?
