Bread Crumb Nav

[Baja]

I created a new page which seems to be working great except for the bread crumb nav. It is displaying text but not as a link plus Im not sure the proper way of adding the second page. For example:

 

You are here: Support > Second Page

 

This is the code that was in the knowlagebase but not sure if it is missing something or incorrect:

 

$breadcrumbnav=''.$_LANG['globalsystemname'].'';

 

Thanks,

Any one have issues with this by chance too? Anyone find this to be working perfectly?

It's a custom page you are creating so you need to add your own link code and breadcrumb.

Matt what is the proper format for this and where do we do this at?

 

What is there is not producing a link, just text which inturn is not a nav and also needs the second or third link to classify it as bread crumb navagation:

 

$breadcrumbnav=''.$_LANG['globalsystemname'].'';

 

I know the globalsystemname is in the language files. Do I need to create something for example like this:

 

$MYbreadcrumbnav = ''.$_LANG['mynewpagename'].'';

 

And if so where do I put the code for

$MYbreadcrumbnav 

at?

 

Or can I just add the link code directly somehow?

Would somthing like this work:

 

<?php 

require("dbconnect.php"); 
require("includes/functions.php"); 

$pagetitle = $_LANG['forumstitle'];
$pageicon = "images/support/clientarea.gif";
$mybreadcrumbnav=''.$_LANG['globalsystemname'].'';

require("init.php"); 

if ($_SESSION['loggedinstatus']=="true") {
# User is Logged In - put any code you like here
} 

# Define the template filename to be used without the .tpl extension
$templatefile = "forums"; 

/*
To assign variables in Smarty use the following syntax. 
$smarty->assign('variablename', $value);
This can then be used as {$variablename} in the template
*/ 
$smarty->assign('mybreadcrumbnav','[url="domain(dot)com/clients/index.php"]Support[/url]
>
[url="domain(dot)com/forums/index.php"]Forums[/url]');

include("display.php");

?>

Well that didn't seem to work,

[Matt]

Just a regular HTML link is all that's needed.

$breadcrumbnav='<a href="index.php">'.$_LANG['globalsystemname'].'</a> > <a href="mypage.php">My Page Name Here</a>';

Ya I always try to complicate things. I thought becuase it was smarty that you had to do something fancy.

 

Thanks Matt

so far i have this set up but i cannot for the life of me figure out the code to make the "home" crumb a link also? aka the globalsitename

 

all the stock pages have it as a link but the way described here only makes it text and every time i try to make it a link i get some error.

Here is an example so home and forum will be links. You will have to change things according to you needs.

$breadcrumbnav = '<a href="index.php">'.$_LANG['globalsystemname'].'</a> > <a href="forums.php">'.$_LANG['forumstitle'].'</a>';

LOL, no worries. It was Matt who got me going in the right direction so if I am the gentleman then he would have to be the scholar.

Matt is a scholar, and a gentleman
