Modifying Breadcrumb.php

[Bahnstoermer]

Happy Sunday Evening to everyone.

I have modified the Breadcrumb.php code around line 55 to:

$trail_string .= ' <a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . '">' . $this->_trail[$i]['title'] . '</a>'; /* DIR_WS_CATALOG . */

from

$trail_string .= ' <a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG .'">' . $this->_trail[$i]['title'] . '</a>';

In the header and footer, this effectively changes the "Home" link to my site home page and not the cart home page, which is what I want. However, it seems there is not a way to load this modified breadcrumb file to my "CUSTOM" directory.

I've searched on this and it seems the common response is to add a link in front of the breadcrumb that goes to the site home page and leave the cart home page in place - for now at least, that's not what I want to do.

Can someone suggest a better way to do this? (My concern of course is that this file will be overwritten if I upgrade in the future, correct?)

Thanks!

Alex

Your way will work, however, one way I got around this with a site I worked on was to hard code the home link into the header of the custom template. That enabled me to point the user to the home page of the site (which was not the zen cart one) and vice versa.

Keep in mind that depending on how you have your other portions of the site setup, if a user has something in their cart, then decides to leave the zen interface, you might run the risk of them losing what is in their cart.

I've seen this happen on several sites, but never had the problem.

Good luck!

Thanks for your response. I'll play around with the cart for some dummy accounts and see if I have any problems.
