Breadcrumbs the old way

CE4 is cool so far but I'm not too keen on the fact that breadcrumbs absorbs the style of the block. So I've tried and partially succeeded in using the old style phplugins code. I've changed the G STYLE statements to reflect CE4 not CE3 and this works pretty well except for the trailing entry in the breadcrumbs trail which comes up with the name of the file being opened ("index" usually) and not the name of the directory that its in. Like this: Home>>Gallery>>index, instead of Home>>Gallery>>GalleryName. I assume it has something to do with the new CE4 G STYLE identifiers which aren't listed yet or am I way off base?

Re: Breadcrumbs the old way

Hi Mark, on my CE4 test site I am using the new breadcrumbs. I added them as well to all non-gallery pages to have a consistent look.

For testing purposes, I just copied over my original breadcrumb code fragments and inserted them in my galleries. They still work. So I don't know what's different in your setup.

Re: Breadcrumbs the old way

Thanks Daniel. I went back over what I had done and pasted in a new copy of your code from my code library. Changed the CE3's to CE4's and presto! All better. No idea what I did to the code I had in there but obviously something I did was wrong.

Re: Breadcrumbs the old way

Glad you got it working, Mark!

With the new built-in breadcrumbs implementation I like that I can name the crumbs in the Publisher album rather than depending on the directory names.

Re: Breadcrumbs the old way

If your only problem with breadcrumbs is the styling, why not just use PHPlugins to restyle them?
