Hi Peter,

I was playing around with changing the breadcrumbs template as it looked the least intimidating (I clearly don't think of myself very good with HTML and CSS, etc.)

I was thinking, maybe I would like the breadcrumbs to look more like a directory path, e.g.,

TopFolder1\subfolder1\subfolder2 etc.

However, I found that the existing separator character ">" must be included or the breadcrumbs won't display anything at all.

However, if I add "\" (e.g. ">\", it will display, but of course includes both characters. Is this a bug or a required character in the template?

Thanks,

Rob Ralston

Hi Rob,

No, the greater than symbol is not required. The default is this:

 > [entry:title]

You should be able to change that to:

\[entry:title]

Is this what you tried?

I'm sorry, but the **** editor will not allow me to properly paste or edit HTML ... I hope you got the idea.

That is what I tried. I attempted to eliminate the '>' completely and substituting '\' but if I did, then nothing is displayed. I found I could put characters after the '>', but it has to be first.

For example, I could have '>\[entry:title]' or '>[entry:title]\' but not '\[entry:title]'

I've added it to the bug tracker. I'll examine this shortly.

I can't replicate this. I have tested the following with success:

\{a href="[dmxmodule:url]EntryId=[entry:entryid]"}[entry:title]{/a}
(replace curly brackets with html brackets)

This was all I put in to the xxx-BreadCrumbTemplate.resources file and the breadcrumbs showed up the way you'd expect them with the \ between them.

Oh man. Now my HTML ignorance is splattered all over the Internet! I was misinterpreting the HTML bracket '>' as the character causing that symbol in the breadcrumbs. I now realize the
& gt ;
character sequence at the beginning is what was causing the '>' symbol in the breadcrumbs.

So, I was changing a closing '>' which is what caused my problem.

Very sorry for sending you on a "wild goose chase".
