How to show Multiple Categories Link on product info page?

i link all products of category A to category B by using Multiple Categories Link Manager,

i enable the breadcrumb trail links on product info page,

but it only show the link of category A,

is it a way to show the link of category B instead of category A, or show both B and A ?

That would require a bunch of custom coding, to look up all linked paths and output them. You can do it if you are skilled with PHP and understand database access.

You should get the current access path in the breadcrumbs (the category you arrived at the product from).

One would think this would be a stock feature. I see it on our competitor sites. But on ZC, it certainly makes navigating linked products very confusing for customers. Wish List?

If enough people ask for it (or if a skilled person wants the feature for their own site), someone may write a mod to do this. It would probably be a pretty simple one as mods go.
