Removing the "Home" link from breadcrumbs

[cupcake]

Hi again! I've previously posted as "Audra" but I lost access to my account with the board switch.

Anyway- I'm happily working my way through installing and customizing the new version of Zen Cart. Everything is going great! I'm excited to have such possibilities at hand.

I've been able to find a few of the issues I've had in new posts but haven't found an answer to this one yet! I found a few close ones in the archived messages, but not exactly what I'm looking for.

I'd like to remove just the "Home" and its following separator from the breadcrumbs. I attempted this by leaving the "Home" in english.php blank, but then I lose the "Home" link in the navigation bar. I want to keep the Nav Bar one.

Then I tried commenting out the home link in the breadcrumbs.php file

if ($this->_trail[$i]['title'] == HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG) {
		$trail_string .= '  <a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . $this->_trail[$i]['title'] . '</a>';
        } else {
		$trail_string .= '  <a href="' . $this->_trail[$i]['link'] . '">' . $this->_trail[$i]['title'] . '</a>';
        }
      } else {
        $trail_string .= $this->_trail[$i]['title'];
      }

      if (($i+1) < $n) $trail_string .= $separator;
      $trail_string .= "\n";
    }

and I get this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/.../includes/classes/breadcrumb.php on line 59

I'd just like to lose the home link in breadcrumbs. I don't want to disable breadcrumbs altogether. Any ideas where to do this? Please don't tell me it's in admin and I'm just missing it!

Just checking in to see if there's an answer for this yet?

This was easy enough for me to figure out, as I had just been looking at the file in question for a different purpose.

All you have to do is add the following code:

if ($this->_trail[$i]['title'] == 'Home')
{
continue;
}

prior to:

if (isset($this->_trail[$i]['link']) && zen_not_null($this->_trail[$i]['link']) && !$skip_link ) {

Yep, works like a charm!

or you could do it in includes -> templates -> YOURTEMPLATE -> common -> tpl_main_page.php and not play around with the Core Code

just add

<!-- bof  breadcrumb -->
<?php if (DEFINE_BREADCRUMB_STATUS == '1' && ($current_page!='index' || (int)$cPath>0 )) { ?>    <div id="navBreadCrumb"><?php echo $breadcrumb->trail(BREAD_CRUMBS_SEPARATOR); ?></div>
<?php } ?>
<!-- eof breadcrumb -->

While I am all for not modifying core files.... This recommendation doesn't do what is being asked. Your code removes the breadcrumbs completely under certain conditions.

Thank you! It worked perfectly! Exactly what I needed. :)

I really appreciate your help!

ETA: I also try not to edit core when and where I can avoid it, but I clicked through every Admin option I could think of, and didn't see any easy way in the template overrides system to do this.

The "right" way to remove just the "Home" link from the breadcrumbs is this:

1. copy /includes/init_includes/init_add_crumbs.php to the includes/init_includes/overrides folder.

2. Edit includes/init_includes/overrides/init_add_crumbs.php
You simply need to comment-out line 15, like this:

//$breadcrumb->add(HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG, zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT)); 

... and of course upload the new file to your site.

Thus no need to hack core files !

Still a good answer this "overrides" version. Thanks a lot!

[edwardtilbury]

DrByte = clean answer!

I didn't feel too save not using the override system, thanks for the answer, worked perfectly!
