how to customize $breadcrumbnav ?

[suprahost]

Hello

 

I would customize $breadcrumbnav

 

You are here Support > Client Area

 

I would replace the ">" with a nice arrow. How to do that please ?

 

Thank you!

I think that is not possible.

There should be a way , because I have seen some sites which customized it.

i noticed those > in the source, why did the WHMCS put those there? it breaks standards, you're meant to put $gt; so it doesnt render as markup on certain browsers. anyway, try changing it to » for a different type of arrow, → for a Right arrow, ← for a left arrow.

 

just chuck those in the HTML and they'll work.

where exactly ?

In your header template..

{php}
$breadcrumb = $this->get_template_vars('breadcrumbnav');
$breadcrumb = str_replace(' > ', '<img src=..... />', $breadcrumb);
$this->assign('breadcrumbnav', $breadcrumb');
{/php}

 

We've done something similar - but instead I've got about 30 lines that completely rebuild the breadcrumb (strip out items, reformat in to a list with <li> tags etc)

My breadcrumb link shows my WHMCS Home link as "Support" (ie. "You are here: Support > Domain Checker"). Is this a configurable field somewhere in WHMCS? Or will I have to change it using the method posted above? I can't seem to find it...

 

I would rather it say "Client Area" instead.

 

Thanks!

I believe it's line #1 in the language file:

$_LANG["globalsystemname"] = "Support";

Edit:

Yes, that's it. Just don't name it "Client Area" or it will show twice with that on some pages.

Indeed it is, thank you Bear! ;-)

No problem. I changed mine to "My Account", which seems to go well with all the other links.

After thinking about it more (and seeing how it looked when clientarea.php was loaded) I was going to use "Sales & Support Portal" but I think I'll use your idea instead.. much cleaner! Thanks again!

For those that want it converted to a ul list, then here is the code.

{php} 
/* customize breadcrumb output */
$breadcrumb = $this->get_template_vars('breadcrumbnav'); 
$breadcrumb = str_replace(' > ', '', $breadcrumb); 
$breadcrumb = str_replace('</a>', '</a></li>', $breadcrumb);
$breadcrumb = str_replace('<a href', '<li><a href', $breadcrumb); 
$this->assign('breadcrumbnav', $breadcrumb); 
{/php}

Simply brilliant!
