Adding Custom Breadcrumb for Drupal nodes
Out of the box Drupal does not add breadcrumb to node pages, in most situations this is not a problem until recently, I had decided to install the excellent Drupal Forums module on one of the work websites. It quickly became apparent that a forum without a logical breadcrumb is not as user friendly, so here is what I wanted in the breadcrumb:
- Link to Home (Only item Drupal adds by default)
- Link to content type view, eg, Forums Home page, Blog Home page etc
- Links to nested taxonomy terms the node is tagged with
Drupal 6: Setting custom breadcrumb and primary navigation to active for any page
Ever wanted to set adhock breadcrumbs for pages that were not really part of any logical menu structure? Also want to activate the primary menu for this ad hoc page?
Drupal 6 makes this easy....
In the rough example below, you can see how I go about setting a custom breadcrumb for taxonomy terms pages without hacking around the drupal core and without installing bunch of additional modules.
