New Mod: prettier professional breadcrumbs

**bonnit** · 18 Aug 2011, 02:01 PM

Another cosmetic mod, This simply changes the position of the breadcrumbs so that it is out of the main page table and also adds simple styling for a better and more professional look.

See it on my live store: http://www.livvylougifts.co.uk

Please also note i have breacrumbs disabled on homepage only.

Nice... Where do I get it? Also what mod are you using for the drop-down personalisation part?

This is the code from my template_default (1.3.9h)

Any help would be most apreciated:

Can you post a link please?

This shouldn't throw any errors as all you are doing is literally lifting the breadcrumbs code

Code:

<!-- bof  breadcrumb -->
<?php if (DEFINE_BREADCRUMB_STATUS == '1' || (DEFINE_BREADCRUMB_STATUS == '2' && !$this_is_home_page) ) { ?>
    <div id="navBreadCrumb"><?php echo $breadcrumb->trail(BREAD_CRUMBS_SEPARATOR); ?></div>
<?php } ?>
<!-- eof breadcrumb -->

and placing it elsewhere - in this case you are placing right before the line

Code:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" id="contentMainWrapper">
  <tr>

which moves it outside of the main content table?

**Rizla** · 23 Aug 2011, 05:10 AM

Link won't help as I have not gone ahead and installed due to Dreamweaver higlighting this syntax error.

If you can't see anything obvious then I will go ahead and install and see what happens.

Thanks

**Rizla** · 23 Aug 2011, 06:22 AM

Ok... went through the install and as I suspected the main page will not load.... Due to the syntax error I presume?

The error is on the line immediately after your code insert:

$current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_header.php');?>"

<?php - this is where the error is shown which is the next line of original code.

**Rizla** · 23 Aug 2011, 12:18 PM

If it throws any light on things this is taken from the Zen debug log:

[23-Aug-2011 06:12:40] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /home/metalpix/public_html/includes/templates/andover_modern/common/tpl_main_page.php on line 112

**bonnit** · 23 Aug 2011, 04:48 PM

... again, the code i have implemented doesn't throw any errors as you are literally lifting and moving it, providing nothin else is touched.

Based on the snippet you posted above AND backed up by the debug error you posted, this pinpoints an error on your part, you have deleted a <?php

If the code you have posted above is the code you are using on your tpl_main_page.php in its entirety, its seems you have removed the top of the file.

Code:

<?php
/**
 * Common Template - tpl_main_page.php
 *
 * Governs the overall layout of an entire page<br />
 * Normally consisting of a header, left side column. center column. right side column and footer<br />
 * For customizing, this file can be copied to /templates/your_template_dir/pagename<br />
 * example: to override the privacy page<br />
 * - make a directory /templates/my_template/privacy<br />
 * - copy /templates/templates_defaults/common/tpl_main_page.php to /templates/my_template/privacy/tpl_main_page.php<br />
 * <br />
 * to override the global settings and turn off columns un-comment the lines below for the correct column to turn off<br />
 * to turn off the header and/or footer uncomment the lines below<br />
 * Note: header can be disabled in the tpl_header.php<br />
 * Note: footer can be disabled in the tpl_footer.php<br />
 * <br />
 * $flag_disable_header = true;<br />
 * $flag_disable_left = true;<br />
 * $flag_disable_right = true;<br />
 * $flag_disable_footer = true;<br />
 * <br />
 * // example to not display right column on main page when Always Show Categories is OFF<br />
 * <br />
 * if ($current_page_base == 'index' and $cPath == '') {<br />
 *  $flag_disable_right = true;<br />
 * }<br />
 * <br />
 * example to not display right column on main page when Always Show Categories is ON and set to categories_id 3<br />
 * <br />
 * if ($current_page_base == 'index' and $cPath == '' or $cPath == '3') {<br />
 *  $flag_disable_right = true;<br />
 * }<br />
