Changing the Home Breadcrumb

I've looked at a couple of posts on this, but I can't seem to find where to change the Home link in breadcrumbs to my own index page. One post said to look for
$breadcrumbs (something something) in my includes/application_top.php, but I could not find it anywhere. Does anyone have a solution for this?

/includes/init_includes/overrides/ini_add_crumbs.php
line 15:```
$breadcrumb->add(HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG, zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT));

That doesn't seem to be working, DrByte. Any other ideas?

what exactly did you put there?
where exactly did you upload it to?

I didnt have an ini_add_crumbs.php in my /includes/init_includes/overrides/ folder, but i did have one in my /includes/init_includes/ so I modified that and uploaded it back to init_includes. I changed this:

$breadcrumb->add(HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG, zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT));

to this:

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

Should I be saving this to the overrides folder?

1. using the overrides folder, of course, is the better practice.

2. I just did the same as you posted, and it works fine on my test site.

It's still not working for me DrByte... are you sure there aren't any other files that would need to be modified?

Anyone else have any ideas on this, because it doesn't work for me either??

1. the file isn't in the place that Dr. Byte said it was, it's in the place where Lawbird says it was.

2. I made the changes suggested by Dr. Byte but nothing happened.

Anyone???

I'm looking to do exactly the same, but haven't got anywhere yet! :(

Anyone have an update on this?

I know this is an old thread but hopefully this helps as I use a CMS program and Zencart is located in a sub directory which creates headaches with using breadcrumbs. :shocking:

The reason why DrBye’s solution above does not work for me ... is located in includes > classes > breadcrumb.php

Find this If statement

// this line simply sets the "Home" link to be the domain/url, not main_page=index?blahblah:
        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>';
        }

You’ll notice that this statement will override the changes we make in int_add_crumbs.php as long as the title is equal to HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG or “Home”. To overcome this I made this change to breadcrumb.php

// this line simply sets the "Home" link to be the domain/url, not main_page=index?blahblah:
        if ($this->_trail[$i]['title'] == HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG) {
          // $trail_string .= '  <a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . $this->_trail[$i]['title'] . '</a>';
          $trail_string .= '  <a href="' . $this->_trail[$i]['link'] . '">' . $this->_trail[$i]['title'] . '</a>';
        } else {
          $trail_string .= '  <a href="' . $this->_trail[$i]['link'] . '">' . $this->_trail[$i]['title'] . '</a>';
        }

And as per DrByte's post I made these changes to the int_add_crumbs.php

$breadcrumb->add(HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG, '/home');
$breadcrumb->add('Store', '/store');

The reason I’m pointing the home page to “/home” is I’m using a Splash page and the CMS program knows “/home” is not to display the Splash page as “/” will.
