How to remove breadcrumbs from non-store pages?

[GraceDigital]

Hi,

I tried using #aboutusBody #navBreadCrumb{ display: none; } for one of my EZpages, to prevent it from displaying breadcrumbs. Between # and Body I gave the Ez PAGE NAME, but its not working for me. I tried coding with EZ page ID like #71Body #navBreadCrumb{ display: none; }, but it is not working. How do I know what is the exact page name for the EZ page? I am fairly new to the forum and 2 months old at using Zencart. It would be great if you could help me.

Thanks,
Grace

Hello Grace,

As you have seen, there has been no response to my question whether what I did was correct or not. The thing is that it works for me!

Far from being a programmer, I have made a lot of changes to my stylesheet, mostly on a trial and error basis and I have gained some knowledge by playing around. I would be glad to help you (if I can) but need the URL of the page you are trying to change. If you don't want to publish it in the forums, you may send me a message via the contact us form on either of my sites listed in the signature block.

To respect the forum rules, I have to make clear that I'm not offering professional advice here, just user to user help and that this is not charged. My fee will be the pleasure of helping a fellow member as I have been helped by others. Due to family activities during the weekend, I may not be able to come back before the beginning of next week.

Hi. I too am trying to remove the breadcrumbs from some specific pages. After some testing this method works great for me in every circumstance (throughout the 'Information' pages), with the exception of every single page I actually want them removed from! These pages specifically are the 'Contact us' page and also my defined pages. I'm not sure how these pages differ from the other ones and so any advice as to how you acheived this Athens (or anyone) would be greatly appreciated.

If this has any bearing on the issue, I should point out that I have renamed my defined pages as About Us, Company, etc although the url produced still reads as index.php?main_page=page_2, index.php?main_page=page_3, etc.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have disabled breadcrumbs with some extra lines in the stylesheet.css (a few are shown below).

#aboutusBody #navBreadCrumb{ display: none; }
#contactusBody #navBreadCrumb{ display: none; }
#conditionsBody #navBreadCrumb{ display: none; }
#privacyBody #navBreadCrumb{ display: none; }
#paymentsBody #navBreadCrumb{ display: none; }
#shippinginfoBody #navBreadCrumb{ display: none; }
#destinationsBody #navBreadCrumb{ display: none; }

The bolded parts are the page names.

I hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for the speedy response! I now see why it didn't work for Contact us, I added an underscore (#contact_usBody) as I thought I was referencing the page name from the url. So where exactly are you finding these PAGE IDs from as I expect this is why I was unable to get this to work with my defined pages?

Thanks again.

Small update, I have got this to work by removing the underscores from the defined page urls eg, #page2Body #navBreadCrumb{ display: none; }. So thanks for sharing your solution, but I'd still like to know why this works if you have any idea?! What exactly are we referencing?

No idea how it works, but it does!

What I do is go to each page I want to remove breadcrumbs from and look at the URL in the browser. For example:

http://athenscollectibles.info/index..._page=about_us

I use the last part (about_us) without the underscore to form the CSS line:

#aboutusBody #navBreadCrumb{ display: none; }

It doesn't work if I leave the underscore but don't ask me why. I don't use Easy Pages but, as you discovered, it works on the same principle (page2Body rather than page_2Body). A Zen Cart guru could provide an explanation. Although it works as described, it would still be good to learn what's behind it.
