Contents

Syntax

<txp:breadcrumb />

The breadcrumb tag can be used as either a single or container tag to create breadcrumb navigation. It provides either hyperlinked navigation, or plain text positional display. Breadcrumbs are not displayed on the ‘default’ section (home page) of your site.

The main part of the breadcrumb (as obtained with label="" section="" attributes) is the category path of the given category. If needed, only some parts of this path (e.g. the parent) can be retrieved via limit and offset attributes.

Attributes

Tag will accept the following attributes (case-sensitive) as well as the global attributes :

category="category name" v4.7.0+
Category to be used as the breadcrumb base.
Default: the current category.
link="value"

Default: unset.
linkclass="class name"

Default: unset (see class cross-reference).
label="text"
Label prepended to item.
Default: unset (but see label cross-reference for exceptions).
wraptag="element"
