Just like the title says. Loads of people would like to see some clear documentation on how to set up custom breadcrumbs.

This isn't really a patch, but I didn't want to change it to fixed since the docs should be in a readme and not in an issue. But I just installed the module and spent a few minutes figuring it out, so here you go:

  1. Go to admin/build/custom_breadcrumbs
  2. Click "Add a new custom breadcrumb"
  3. Choose the node type to create a breadcrumb trail for
  4. For the titles, put each "crumb" one line after another (There is no need to put in "home"):
    Item 1
    SubItem A
    SuperSubItem X
  5. For the paths, put the path to each crumb starting after the domain name. Don't include a leading or trailing slash.
    item1
    item-1/subitem-a
    item-1/subitem-a/supersubitem-x

If you don't want to hardcode paths, you can use any of the tokens listed in the "Placeholder tokens" fieldset.

We might want to add Michelle's clear and concise steps to the Handbook page for Custom Breadcrumbs.

I have read all the current documentation and it just gets more and more confusing.
is there instructions someplace for turning off breadcrumbs by content type?

I've added Michelle's instructions to the readme for the 5.x and 6.x versions.

I added similar instructions to the node_gallery handbook for this too, after you figure it out, it's easy.
