Category and Product Breadcrumb Display

Post by webmaz » Fri Jan 21, 2011 12:10 pm

I have a couple questions about breadcrumbs:

For category pages, is there a way to remove the last link (for the current page) on the breadcrumb trail?
I'd still like to display the current page (right now it is set to display the last node) but not have a link.

Example: Home > MainCategory1 > SubCategory1
The user is viewing the category "SubCategory1". "Home" links to the homepage, "MainCategory1" links to the parent category, and "SubCategory1" is not a link.

---
On product pages, is there a way to display the current page in the breadcrumb trail?
Right now it only displays the categories. I'd also like the current page (the product name) not to be a link, like the example above, but add in the product name.

Thanks!

For the conlib CategoryBreadcrumbs, you can set HideLastNode to true
[[ConLib:CategoryBreadCrumbs HideLastNode="true"]]

Adding the product name would require customization.

We would still like to display the breadcrumb of the current page. To my understanding, [[ConLib:CategoryBreadCrumbs HideLastNode="true"]]
would remove the current page from the breadcrumb trail. We would like the current page to display, but without a link. Is this possible?

You could set it to hide the last node and then add the object name to the breadcrumbs conlib.

I'm new to AbleCommerce. Could anyone provide an example of this?
