I upgraded my site from drupal 5 to drupal 6 and the breadcrumb was not working at all..
The functionality of this module was part of drupal 5. Can you tell me, why it was removed from drupal 6?

see #303247: Menu Breadcrumb setting active menu to undesirable menus.
There is a link there to the admin_menu issues.

See if it fix this as well.

@Pasqualle:
Drupal 6 has a completely new menu system and works different (internally).

I don't know if it was left out intentionally or something that's a result of the new design but (unfortunately) it's not a core function anymore.

By default, Drupal 6 will use the Navigation menu for the breadcrumb. This module allows you to use the menu the current page belongs to for the breadcrumb.

subscribing... i agree breadcrumbs were totally broken in D6 it'd be nice to right the wrong in D7.

I was very suprised by such D6 behavior... It likes bug imho.

it must be done for D7 first.

If a core maintainer would agree that this is a bug in D6 then it could be backported. But I hardly believe that it would happen, as there is already a module for this feature, so it is not absolutely necessary to be included in Drupal core..

The D7 issue is here: http://drupal.org/node/279399
seems to be talk of major changes to Navigation menu there.

In the meantime, this is a problem on 6 and IMO it's a bug in that's a big retrograde step of very commonly used functionality -- upgraded sites will lose their breadcrumb.

D6 won't see further development apart from critical fixes. Closing.
