SID-00875: BreadCrumbs not showing

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.0.0	Perl version:	Perl v5.10.0
Category:	CategorySkin	Server OS:	Ubuntu 8.10	Last update:	12 years ago

Just finished an upgrade to TWiki 5, and the first thing I note is that the bread crumbs do not show up anymore. I want to be able to show the full path to the topic - what do I need to do to turn this feature on?

Thank you so much.

Discussion and Answer

The breadcrumb is now embedded in the menu-bar of the TopMenuSkin, see visual example on this topic:

You see Home > Support web > P > View depicting the breadcrumb. Hover over the P and View to get more info on parent(s) and topic, respectively. This saves previous real estate.

How to get the old breadcrumb back:

The templates/view.topmenu.tmpl removes the breadcrumb defined in templates/view.pattern.tmpl:

%TMPL:DEF{"top"}%%TMPL:END%

You can restore the breadcrumb:

%TMPL:DEF{"top"}%<div class="patternTop"><span class="patternHomePath twikiLeft">%TMPL:P{"breadcrumb"}%</span><!-- /patternHomePath--><br class="twikiClear" /></div><!--/patternTop-->%TMPL:END%

Create a custom template so that you will not lose your modification on a later upgrade. Details in PatternSkinCssCookbook.

How to set breadcrumbs globally?

Madhuri, please read the fine manual: PatternSkinCssCookbook and TWikiSkins.
