Re positioning bread crumb on lhs?

Is it possible to re position the breadcrumb trail by cutting & pasting the code in tpl_main_page.php?

I want to have the breadcrumb trail start from the lhs of the page beneath the header or at least appearing to be beneath the header content.

Re: Re positioning bread crumb on lhs?

Yes but I believe that it currently exists in the center column area - - would have to relocate to before the start of the l, r & center areas

Re: Re positioning bread crumb on lhs?

No Joy with that Kobra.

Have tried various copy and pastes but see no changes on the site at all.

What other ways are there of shifting the position of the bread crumb so that it starts on the lhs of the page above the left column?

With thanks,
P

That is what I interpreted from the question

But why the added table?

It was a kludge to defeat a a cross browser bug that i just couldn't quash at the time, originally there were other things on there as well rather than just the breadcrumbs and search, I just haven't bothered changing it as it works fine

Re: Re positioning bread crumb on lhs?

Add to your stylesheet```
#navColumnOneWrapper {margin-top: 2.5em;}
#navBreadCrumb {margin-left: -16em;}

Tested in Firefox; check in IE and others.

Re: Re positioning bread crumb on lhs?

Thanks nigelt74, kobra and gjh42,

That's just the ticket; exactly what I'm looking for. I'll try the stylesheet option and let you know how I get on.

Re: Re positioning bread crumb on lhs?

Brilliant Guys!

The stylesheet fix works just fine in ie, Chrome & Firefox.

Some slight positioning differences in the Firefox browser (offset to the right a bit) but that's livable with.

As usual, greatly appreciated with many thanks.
