So get rid of the first few entries? Should be possible with a global (which works out how many elements there are, and then gets rid of the all minus the last 3 or something)

Hi.

I want not display the first cats.

Example:

Home > Cat1 > Cat2 > Cat3 > Cat4 > Cat5

-3 cats to:

Cat3 > Cat4 > Cat5

Is it possible to make a "dynamic global"?

For example:

<%TheGlobal(3)%> - takes 3 cats.
<%TheGlobal(2)%> - takes 2 cats....

By "takes" .. do you mean KEEPS the last xx cats, or REMOVES the first xx cats?

Untested, but try this:

redo_breadcrumb

Code:
sub { 
	my $title_loop = $_[0]; 
	my $num_to_keep = $_[1]; 

	my @back_loop; 
	my $i = 0; 
	foreach (@$title_loop) { 
		$i++; 
		if ($i < $num_to_keep) { next; } 
		push @back_loop, $_; 
	} 

	return { title_loop => \@back_loop }; 

}

Call with:

Code:
<%redo_breadcrumb($title_loop,3)%>

This woudl get rid of the FIRST 3 entries from the breadcrumb.

Untested (not got a lot of free time ;)) .. but should work ok

<%Links::Utils::format_title($title_loop, separator => $crumb_separator, no_escape_separator => $no_escape_crumb_separator, include_home => 1, link_type => 2)%>

Cheers
