How to define a custom breadcrumb for a view?

I needed to set a custom breadcrumb for every view I created.

I came up with the following code, put this in the argument handling code section of the view:

$breadcrumb[] = l('Home', null);
$breadcrumb[] .= l('News', 'news');
$breadcrumb[] .= l('Politics', 'politics');
drupal_set_breadcrumb($breadcrumb);

In this case, the breadcrumb will look like this:

Home -> News -> Politics

Maybe there's a way to customize this code to use a full vocabulary - term path.

Thanks to gbear for the idea.

Any better ideas are welcome...

Custom breadcrumbs for panels

doc2@drupalfr.org commented 12 October 2008 at 16:25

For my panels (v.5.x-1.x), I simply put this code into the body of any custom-defined content of the panel and set this body's "Input format" to "PHP code". And it's done!

It's cool, but why doesn't

It's cool, but why doesn't it print when browsing the site as user. I can only see these kind of breadcrumbs for views if I browse logged out.

I don't have this problem

I don't have this problem and without more info I don't know how to replicate it. Don't see a reason why this wouldn't work for logged users.

Views with Arguments...

This solution does NOT address the breadcrumb problems when dealing with a view with arguments.
The view module will continue to append its own breadcrumb to this.
continuing to find a solutions...
