Behaviour breadcrums changed in wb2.8.1

[RonK]

Hi,

I noticed the behaviour of the breadcrums function has changed. the is because the function itself in /framework/frontend.functions.php has changed.

It now has a default (English) text "You are here", which is not handy at all if you are not building an English website. Also a additional <BR> (CR/LF) is added when "You are here" is left out, which causes the function to use two lines.

Why has it changed at all (which can be a good reason) and how can this be solved, other than editting the function in /framework/frontend.functions.php (which cannot be the idea having standardize functions).

As an interim solution I just changed the text in Dutch, and will think about a structural solution.

Hello,

the function has changed to have more options to configure the output in your templates index.php. There is no need of editing the function itself.

Default values if you call breadcrumbs in the index.php of your template:

Code:

<?php show_breadcrumbs(' &raquo; ', 0, true, -1, 'You are here: '); ?>

1.) = the seperator
2.) = how much levels (0 = all)
3.) = link (true mehas breadcrumbs are links, false breadcrumbs are only text)
4.) = depth (-1 = all)
5.) = title (here you can change the text)

Unfortunately with releasing 2.8.1 the devs didn't document the changes well. I hope they will write a doku abaout the new features and how to use them as soon as possible.

Hi Matthias,

thanks for the quick answer.

I could not image that the WB team would code the parameters HARD into the code.

And I am not such a coder I understand all the codes in WB (getting better though).

I change back my cahnged function and will call it like you did in the example.

Breadcrumb create following code

Code:

<div class="breadcrumb">
   <span class="title">You are here: </span>
   <a href="http://domain.tld/wb/pages/de/news.php" class="link">News</a>
   <span class="separator"> &raquo; </span>
   <span class="crumb">Forum News</span>
</div>

so you can it style with css
