Overriding breadcrumb & filenames.php

I am creating a custom template and need to modify includes/application_top.php and includes/filenames.php files for additional entries.

Is there an override option available for these files or are these one of the few files that does not have the ability to override?

Why exactly do you feel you need to override these?

Almost all of the application_top bootstrap is handled via the init_includes folder contents, for where there is override support.

As for adding additional filenames definitions, it's best just to place a new file in the /includes/extra_datafiles folder containing JUST the new filename defines needed for your project. These files are auto-loaded during the initialization phases.

These files cannot be overridden.

You can however create a php file (your_name.php) which would include the defines for your filenames and place this file in:

includes -> extra_datafiles

I think you can do the same thing for the application_top.php

create your_own_file.php and place this file in:

includes -> extra_cart_actions

Almost.

extra_cart_actions has a specific purpose, related to processing actions related to products "in" or being "added to"/"removed from" the shopping cart.

The "best" resolution really depends on the "why" and "what" behind the stated desire to override application_top.

I didn't need to override the filenames.php but rather needed to add additional filename defines, which you provided the answer to. Thank you for that.

I want to edit the application_top.php file to remove the Home breadcrumb from appearing on the main index page. I am assuming it is there since I am used to osC but am most likely wrong on that assumption.

To add additional filenames there is a directory for:
/includes/extra_datafiles

Create a php file such as myfilenames.php and add it there ...

This way, it never gets overwritten during an upgrade and will load as if part of the original file:
/includes/filenames.php

/me polishes her glasses ...

Read screen ... re-read screen ... walk away and re-read screen for already answered question ... :lamo:

Thank you for the follow-up Ajeh. :smile:

Any idea on removing the Home leading breadcrumb entry when on the main index page?

In v1.3.5 and onward, there's a really easy way to do this:

/includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/common/tpl_main_page.php
approx line 94:```

<div id="navBreadCrumb"><?php echo $breadcrumb->trail(BREAD_CRUMBS_SEPARATOR); ?></div>

simply add a check for $this_is_home_page  like this:```
<!-- bof  breadcrumb -->
<?php if (DEFINE_BREADCRUMB_STATUS == '1' && !$this_is_home_page) { ?>
    <div id="navBreadCrumb"><?php echo $breadcrumb->trail(BREAD_CRUMBS_SEPARATOR); ?></div>
<?php } ?>
<!-- eof breadcrumb -->

Absolutely perfect! :D

Thank you so much.

AND...
In 1.3.7, turn it off in the Admin>Layout Settings>Define Breadcrumb Status.

2 will turn it off on the home page only.
