Bread Crumb on Deatailed Page Question
Right now in detailed.html I am using below tag for displaying breadcrumb:

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

I was wondering if anyone can tell me what tag shall I use so that the bread crumb will not display the "Title" of the link/listing. So it appears as

Home :: Category Name :: Sub category Name ::
instead of
Home :: Category Name :: Sub category Name :: Title of Link.

============================
When I use GT:Template:Dump tag. I can see that in title loop there is a proper link, but I don't know how do I use it in a tag so it will work as above.

title_loop [
{
'Name' => 'Site Title',
'URL' => 'http://www.domain.com/index.php'
},
{
'Name' => 'root cat 1',
'URL' => 'http://www.domain.com/root-cat-1/index.php'
},
{
'Name' => 'sub cat 1',
'URL' => 'http://www.domain.com/root-cat-1/sub-cat-1/index.php'
},
{
'Name' => 'This is the link title, this is the link title',
'URL' => 'http://www.domain.com/root-cat-1/sub-cat-1/this is the link title, this is the link title/index.php'
}
];




Thanks for the help.

I think you may find this interesting :

Which is what Adrian explains about here :

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...i?post=286893#286893

You need to write a global to do it basically

Hello John,

Thanks for the very helpful link.

I tried using the global as mentioned at http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/gforum/gforum.cgi?post=284774 however I am getting error.

I used below code as global code
Quote:
sub {

my ($title_loop, %options) = @_;

return unless $title_loop; my %vars = %{GT::Template->vars};

my $ret;

$options{separator} = GT::CGI::html_escape($options{separator}) unless $options{no_escape_separator};

for (0 .. $#$title_loop) {

next unless $_ or $options{include_home};

if ($options{link_type} == 1 or

($options{link_type} == 2 and $_ != $#$title_loop)) {

$ret .= qq|<a href="$title_loop->[$_]->{URL}">$title_loop->[$_]->{Name}</a>|;

}

else {

unless ($options{no_last} == 1 and $_ == $#$title_loop) {

$ret .= $title_loop->[$_]->{Name};

}

}

$ret .= $options{separator} unless $_ == $#$title_loop;

}

if ($options{link_type} == 3) {

$ret = qq|<a href="$title_loop->[-1]->{URL}">$ret</a>|;

}

return \$ret;

}

And used <%global_name%> as calling tag, but it did not worked. :(

Hi Vishal,

To furher the discussion, and I'm not sure I'll be able to help because the global looks pretty complicated, you'll need to provide the error you're getting. Links will provide you with a more detailed error message if you set debugging on in the admin panel in setup > Misc Options

How do you think this error can be fixed so that the global will work.

Your help is very much appreciated.

Hi,

The problem is that you are not passing any options through to the global which was written in the same way as the format_title global that it is replacing.

Also it is good idea to follow exactly the same procedure that is indicated in the post and then modify it once you have got it working. In jdgamble's post the global is called "format_title_override". This is the name Adrian has indicated can be used to override the normal "format_title" routine in Utils.pm

What you need to do is read through the code and provide options where appropriate.

To give you an example you could have this :

<%format_title_override($title_loop, separator => $crumb_separator, no_escape_separator => 1, include_home => 1, link_type => 2, no_last=>1)%>

To see what the numbers in the options mean it is indicated in the format_title routine or you can see it here :
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...i?post=284774#284774

The "format_title_override" global will need to be used instead of the "format_title" code BTW, using both would provide you with the bread crumb twice.

If you look at the different options I have used they are all options available in the code below.

Code:
sub {
my ($title_loop, %options) = @_;
return unless $title_loop; my %vars = %{GT::Template->vars};
my $ret;
$options{separator} = GT::CGI::html_escape($options{separator}) unless $options{no_escape_separator};
for (0 .. $#$title_loop) {
next unless $_ or $options{include_home};
if ($options{link_type} == 1 or
($options{link_type} == 2 and $_ != $#$title_loop)) {
$ret .= qq|<a href="$title_loop->[$_]->{URL}">$title_loop->[$_]->{Name}</a>|;
}
else {
unless ($options{no_last} == 1 and $_ == $#$title_loop) {
$ret .= $title_loop->[$_]->{Name};
}
}
$ret .= $options{separator} unless $_ == $#$title_loop;
}
if ($options{link_type} == 3) {
$ret = qq|<a href="$title_loop->[-1]->{URL}">$ret</a>|;
}
return \$ret;
}

Again this the code provided by jdgamble here :
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...i?post=284775#284775

This should help you get the appropriate effect on your pages...

Hello John,

Thank you for the making things clear and for very informative post. I noticed where I was making the mistake and also you writing the global again surely helped me a lot.

It worked 100% as required.

Thank you again for the wonderful help.
