Need Define Breadcrumb Status help

Hi,

I wanted to remove the "Home" Breadcrumb from my home page but keep the breadcrumbs throughout the rest of the site; however, when I use the option # 2 (Off for home page only), the breadcrumb disappears on my subcategories pages also. The breadcrumb does appear when you view a product though.

If I have subcategories, how to I get the breadcrumbs appear there too? Only the home page shouldn't have the breadcrumb on it.

Help! Thank you!

Try this:
admin > configuration > layout settings > Define Breadcrumb Status
set this to 2

Mark,

Thank you, Mark, but that's the Status I was trying to use... "2"... and yes, it did remove the "Home" breadcrumb from my home page, but it also removed the breadcrumb from my subcategories pages.

Status "0" and "1" both work as intended. It's just "2" (and the one I need) that doesn't seem to be working right for me.

All my pages seem to run off the same file. For e.g.:

/shop/index.php
/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=76
/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=9_44
/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4

Could that be a problem?

Sorry I do not have a answer for you.

The pages are not running off the same file - the "main page=" shows the file in use (more or less)... that's not your problem. Unfortunately I don't know why it is happening either.
It used to be that you had to edit some code to get the functionality, which allowed for a lot of errors, but now it's just a switch and shouldn't misbehave.

I had a recent similar experience. I found that the problem was in the CSS files. To correct it I just changed the top margin so that the breadcrumbs started lower on the page. In my case they were up behind the header. To locate the file:

/includes/templates/classic/css/stylesheet.css

On the stylesheet.css file, this is the definition you need to adjust:

#navBreadCrumb {
margin: 3em;
}

3em seemed to be enough to bring the bread crumbs down to where I wanted them, you can try a different amount if you like.

I hope this might help.

Did anyone find a solution to this problem?

I just upgraded from 1.3.6 to 1.3.8a and I'm having the same problem as goodevil experienced.

I've tried editing the stylesheet, but with no success.

Well, I found my problem quickly. Apparently I a file(tpl_main_page.php) in my template was overriding the option of turning the breadcrumb to status 2.

You need to create your own template. If you make your changes in the /classic folders, all your work will be lost with the next upgrade/update.
