Removing the "Home" link from breadcrumbs

Hi again! I've previously posted as "Audra" but I lost access to my account with the board switch.

Anyway- I'm happily working my way through installing and customizing the new version of Zen Cart. Everything is going great! I'm excited to have such possibilities at hand.

I've been able to find a few of the issues I've had in new posts but haven't found an answer to this one yet! I found a few close ones in the archived messages, but not exactly what I'm looking for.

I'd like to remove just the "Home" and its following separator from the breadcrumbs. I attempted this by leaving the "Home" in english.php blank, but then I lose the "Home" link in the navigation bar. I want to keep the Nav Bar one.

Then I tried commenting out the home link in the breadcrumbs.php file

if ($this->_trail[$i]['title'] == HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG) {
		$trail_string .= '  <a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . $this->_trail[$i]['title'] . '</a>';
        } else {
		$trail_string .= '  <a href="' . $this->_trail[$i]['link'] . '">' . $this->_trail[$i]['title'] . '</a>';
        }
      } else {
        $trail_string .= $this->_trail[$i]['title'];
      }

      if (($i+1) < $n) $trail_string .= $separator;
      $trail_string .= "\n";
    }

and I get this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/.../includes/classes/breadcrumb.php on line 59

I'd just like to lose the home link in breadcrumbs. I don't want to disable breadcrumbs altogether. Any ideas where to do this? Please don't tell me it's in admin and I'm just missing it! :blush:

Just checking in to see if there's an answer for this yet?

This was easy enough for me to figure out, as I had just been looking at the file in question for a different purpose.

All you have to do is add the following code:

if ($this->_trail[$i]['title'] == 'Home')
{
continue;
}

prior to:

if (isset($this->_trail[$i]['link']) && zen_not_null($this->_trail[$i]['link']) && !$skip_link ) {

Yep, works like a charm!

or you could do it in includes -> templates -> YOURTEMPLATE -> common -> tpl_main_page.php and not play around with the Core Code

just add

<!-- bof  breadcrumb -->
<?php if (DEFINE_BREADCRUMB_STATUS == '1' && ($current_page!='index' || (int)$cPath>0 )) { ?>    <div id="navBreadCrumb"><?php echo $breadcrumb->trail(BREAD_CRUMBS_SEPARATOR); ?></div>
<?php } ?>
<!-- eof breadcrumb -->

While I am all for not modifying core files....    This recommendation doesn't do what is being asked.   Your code removes the breadcrumbs completely under certain conditions.

Thank you! It worked perfectly! Exactly what I needed. :)

I really appreciate your help!

ETA: I also try not to edit core when and where I can avoid it, but I clicked through every Admin option I could think of, and didn't see any easy way in the template overrides system to do this.

The "right" way to remove just the "Home" link from the breadcrumbs is this:

1. copy /includes/init_includes/init_add_crumbs.php to the includes/init_includes/overrides folder.

2. Edit includes/init_includes/overrides/init_add_crumbs.php
   You simply need to comment-out line 15, like this:```php
   //$breadcrumb->add(HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG, zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT));

Thus no need to hack core files !

Still a good answer this "overrides" version. Thanks a lot!

DrByte = clean answer!

I didn't feel too save not using the override system, thanks for the answer, worked perfectly!

Was just reading through this thread as I was wanting to do the same thing and I came up with the following solution. In the line that Dr. Byte recommended commenting out above, I changed it to read

$breadcrumb->add('Shop', zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT));

So that it reads shop, not home. I also added a new line above it as follows:

$breadcrumb->add('Home', 'http://www.example.com');

Which means my breadcrumb now has Home :: Shop - both linking to the right place :clap:

when i commented out the code the bar resized to a thin line so i deleted the override but when i read post by ianbailie i think its a good ideo not to remove it but change it. Thanks!

Thanks!Depends on what you are trying to do.. ianbailie's solution is a tad off topic for this post since the OP wanted to know how to REMOVE the "Home" link altogether (for which DrBye posted a solution). ianbailie's solution tells you how to CHANGE the "Home" link text to read something else.. (symantics perhaps, but a HUGE difference)
