Extending custom_breadcrumbs for views, paths, and panels

Hi. I'm using the 6.x-1.4 version with the patch in #1. Drupal 6.5.

* It works for some fixed page, say a page with clean url "test-page." But:

* If I enter the view-name/argument for some views page, it doesn't work. Say, I have a view "my-view" with a taxonomy term argument. If I enter the path to some view page -- like "my-view/some-taxonomy-term", it generates no breadcrumb
on that view page. Same thing with a wildcard in the path: "my-view/*" generates no breadcrumb.

* If I enter just the view name and not an argument or wildcard, it white-screens the view page. Say, "my-view".

Is this set only to work on a view page that doesn't have an argument? Or, am I doing something wrong?

This looks like progress! But it's not working for me. Symptoms:

* If I create a new custom breadcrumb, I can see the views listed (cool!), but those with arguments don't show the "%" as you describe.

* If I actually select the view and create a custom breadcrumb, it white-screens the view pages, and I have to turn the custom breadcrumb module off to get the view to work again.

This is going to look unhelpful, I'm afraid:

* Yes, I ran update.php.
* Using PHP 5.2.6, Views 6.x-2.1
* No PHP error message logged, and no text on the page if I page back. In fact, there is no page source generated.
* View name is "archives-notes" (the name of my newsletter) and an example of a path that breaks is /archives-notes/SAN-Vol-4-No-10 (where SAN-Vol-4-No-10 is the taxonomy term).
* Shown in the select box is "View::archives-notes"

I wonder if I'm missing some obvious step...

One quick, probably stupid, question: Does the patch in #8 incorporate the earlier patch changes? Or, better yet, could you post a current, patched version of the module? I tried running the latest patch, and the result created other error messages, so I want to be sure I have a properly updated version of the module. Then I can test various cases and send some views exports, without worrying about wasting your time. Thanks!

That fixed it. Both the specific path and the views function work properly now. Thanks! This is an excellent addition to the module. I'll try on another site where I have a lot more views to set up, but everything looks good now.

I'd like to test this, but cb-ext-patched-cb-6.x-1.4.tar_.gz isn't working for me. The views come up in the UI, but no breadcrumbs at all on views pages.

I'm using Drupal 6.6 & Views 6.x-2.x-dev.

Same experience as #14 above. Allows me to select a view in the admin settings form, but makes no difference in the breadcrumb on the actual view page. Using Drupal 6.6 and Views 2.1.

I fixed the issue by disabling the module, deleting all refs to it from the db, then reinstalling afresh.

Somehow it didn't like the first install tho I'm not quite sure why

Thanks

Ok, got it working now. You were correct about the weights. I had run update.php, cleared the cache, etc. but that didn't help. Manually changing the weight of the custom breadcrumb module to be greater than views did the trick though.

Thanks a bunch. Looks like a great addition to the module.

I have applied the patched version in #12 and [deleted].

EDIT: I've come back to edit this as I can not get this to work as described... My comment that was previously posted here was in relation to a different patch, which is working for me, but was accidentally posted here. D'oh.

working probably

#24 looks like exactly what I've been looking for. Excellent! :)

this is my case would u please help me :) (( drupal 6.8 ))

i am using CB and views to manage the taxonomy/term/% ( default views page ) , i have many vocabs lets say VOC1 VOC2 VOC3 and lets say term1 and term2 and term3 for the VOC1 and term4 term5 term6 for the VOC2 and term7 term8 for the VOC3.

the problem is
i have create node lets say node/1 and its taged as term 1 so when i visit the node one the breadcrumbs must be as HOME >> VOC1 >> TERM1
and thats happend and great

now i have used CB with TOKEN to manage the taxonomy/term/% page breadcrumbs so i added custom breadcrumbs as

title : [vocab] , url: voc[vocab-id] WHERE I HAVE ADD PAGE USING VIEWS TO MANAGE THE TERMS FOR EVREY VOCAB WITH PATH FOR EACH VOCAB BY (( VOC# )) SO I HAVE THREE VIEWS PAGES

NOW, when i visit mysite.com/taxonomy/term/1 the breadcrumbs should be HOME >> VOC1 and also the path must be mysite.com/voc1

BUT , IT APPEAR AS HOME >> [VOCAB] AND THE PATH IS MYSITE.COM/VOC[VOCAB-ID]

I TRY THE TAXONOMY BREADCRUMBS FIRST BUT THE SAME PROBLEM ALL OF THEM SOLVE THE NODE BREADCRUMBS BUT NOT THE VIEWS PAGE

THANK U IN ADVANCE :)

THANK YOU

i solved it,

i have used http://drupal.org/project/token_custom to manage it just creat a new token and its going well now i will write a toutorial for that.

thank u all .

sorry for the basic question, but i can't seem to find this information on drupal's site. is there a difference between a .diff and a .patch? if i simple cd over to /sites/all/modules/custom_breadcrumbs and run: patch < cb-6.x-1.4-extensionsV4.diff is that all i need?

I'm using the module as provided in #12, and the Views support is great. I can't seem to get the Specify Path feature to work, though.

Any chance of panels support, too? (That's probably asking a lot, I know)

My issue is that I wanted taxonomy term pages with a lot more structure than is generally provided by taxonomy, so I set up a panel to handle the display of term info, tagged nodes segregated by type, etc. I'm having trouble getting the breadcrumb to the vocabulary page (also a view) to appear.

I thought maybe if I tried a path such as:
category/vocab-name/%

That doesn't seem to work, so for the sake of troubleshooting, I also tried:
category/vocab-name/term-name
taxonomy/term/1

In other words, trying a specific instance didn't do much good either. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

ok i have solved something like this before but i have to check the portal if that capable ? i need to help but i can understand the problem well so that
if u like just ping me throug any IM

NOTE : free of charge just to support the community :)

I'd be happy to help with panels support, if I can. Any suggestions on where to start?

Hi,
i'm trying to make CB, views and token work together.
Drupal 6.9
CB 6.x-1.4 (patched like #12)
views 6.x-2.2
token 6.x-1.11 (patched like #24 )

i have a views named client_domain_list with 1 arg , so the path is for instance client_domain_list/6 and the Cb admin i got this :
Titles :
Domain
[field_domaine-title]

Paths:
domain_list
client_domain_list/[arg1-alias]

The field_domaine-title is a CCK node reference tokens.

So my problem is this token is not replaced by the value, the breadcrumb still look like that :

Domain > [field_domaine-title]

any ideas ?

Actually just Global tokens works.
Node tokens, CCK text tokens and CCK node reference tokens doesn't work.

Just in case this helps anybody:

In one of my sites, to make custom breadcrumbs work with Specify Path and with Views:: (including views with multiple arguments) I had to do this:

1. In phpMyAdmin, go to the system table, and edit the record for custom_breadcrumbs to set the weight to be higher than the weight of Views. In this case, Views was set to 10, so I made the weight of custom_breadcrumbs 12.

2. In admin >> modules, turn off the custom_breadcrumbs module then turn it back on again.

Now, for Views I can enter the breadcrumb text in Titles and the path in Paths, and it works fine.

Also: I know this isn't a finished module, but a "nice to have" would be some kind of tweak to the UI for Specify Path entries. Right now you have to enter the CB name / CB label under Title and the specified path / CB link under Paths.

Maybe splitting these up into more fields, something like this (but, what do I know?)
* Name of this CB entry:
* Path to apply this to (if Specify Path):
* Text for custom breadcrumbs, one per line:
* Paths for custom breadcrumbs, one per line:

Anyway: Love the module. It does exactly what I need it to do. Thanks!

love it. Can't wait to see this committed.

I got this patch to work for views, thank you.

The one unfortunate thing is 'Override menu path' doesn't seem to work on a view. I get an "Unsupported operand types" message for includes/common.inc on line 1542, which is the last line in this snippet of code (above my elipse):

function l($text, $path, $options = array()) {
  global $language;

  // Merge in defaults.
  $options += array(
      'attributes' => array(),
      'html' => FALSE,
    );
...

If I don't set 'override menu path', it works fine, but it doesn't open any parent menus to a specific path and make it active, which is something I'm able to do with Node Breadcrumbs, but not this.

As an alternative, since I'm inclined to want my breadcrumb to match my parent menu item, what I have been doing is setting the Page of my View to have a menu item, then I move that menu item to the parent I want, and disable the menu item. This will allow me to let Menu Breadcrumbs handle the breadcrumb, and at least have the it openned to the parent menu item, with the unfortunate side effect of not having the parent item selected (as would happen if I were able to leverage Node Breadcrumbs to handle Views).

What would wrap this all up (at least for me) would be to be able to have a menu item expanded an active for this breadcrumb.

MNG: will you please be so kind and update the patch against the latest DEV?

Another thing:
The original _custom_breadcrumbs_load_for_type contained as argument $node.
The new function has several arguments, but none of them is $node. Hence, PHP snipppets evaluated in
$visibility = eval(trim($breadcrumb->visibility_php));
can't use the $node object.

I suggest changing the $type argument back to $node.

I'm using the patch at #12 and am able to generate breadcrumbs for basic views - nice. However, I am unable to get the 'specify path' option to work on a page generated from a view. I have a view that takes a taxonomy term as an argument and displays nodes that match certain criteria and have this taxonomy term assigned to them. For each taxonomy term, I create an alias to the view. I use this to create kind of 'landing pages', where the taxonomy terms are section of the site. So I might have:

/some/pretty/alias -> /landingpage/1column/123
/another_alias -> /landingpage/1column/55
/a/different/alias -> /landingpage/1column/165

So I have three different 'landing pages', created from the same view /landingpage/1column/[tid], accessible at three pretty aliases. I want to give each one of these aliases a custom breadcrumb, and am trying to do so using specify path but it just isn't working. This is what I'm putting in the cusomt breadcrumb settings after selecting the 'Specify path' option:

== Titles ==
Some Pretty Alias
Some
Pretty

== Paths ==
some/pretty/alias
some
some/pretty

What am I doing wrong?

The alias is not to a taxonomy term page, the taxonomy is simply used to decide which nodes the view should be displaying, so I don't think taxonomy_breadcrumb will be of use.

The view actually shows up in the list as /landingpage/1column (no mention of %) - this is true for all my views, many of which take arguments. I am able to select the view::/landingpage/1column from the dropdown and successfully create a breadcrumb this way. However, this doesn't work the way I need it to. Take my use case again:

The view /landingpage/1column/[tid] is aliased several times (currently about 10 - one for each term in the taxonomy), each time with a completely individual path and breadcrumb.

/some/pretty/alias -> /landingpage/1column/123
/another_alias -> /landingpage/1column/55
/a/different/alias -> /landingpage/1column/165

each one of these needs it's own custom breadcrumb. Using the view::/landingpage/1column option from the dropdown gives me no way to give each path it's own breadcrumb.

Ah, damn :(
I know all devs hate this (I know I do anyway)... but do you have any idea how long until we will see a v2? How's it's progress going?

@mrfelton—surely the answer is proportion to any donation you make to the developer. ;)

@dbabbage: Well, I'm more than happy to help out where I can. You have anything to test yet? Anything specific you would like to me to try and work on/out?

Hi all, I'd like to let you know about my patch for Views (version 2.3) to support customizable breadcrumbs: #424464: CB for Views: let views create customizable breadcrumbs.

Regards

Hi, my patch for Views2 have been committed: #424460: Configurable Argument Breadcrumb, I don't know how it will work in multi-language sites or with prefix lang codes, AFAIK Views2 have a "transatable" (that i setted to TRUE for breadcrumb) setting... but it's still obscure to me how it works :|

Cheers

@MGN: I think it will be shipped in next 2.6 release :)

I read about CB and language-prefix issues (probably) fixed in CB 2.x: could you share your fixes? I mean: I didn't try Views2 breadcrumbs with lang-prefix, but the same issues could occur also in Views2..

Cheers

ps: shouldn't you move this issue to 2.x?

Ok, thank you! Let hope that Views2 breadcrumb settings doesn't have that isse... in that case someone will report it on the Views2 issue queue! :)

Issue Fixed :)

I am looking to add the custom breadcrumbs to my new landing panel pages that were built in Panels 3.0. I was using the 6.14 version of the Custom breadcrumbs, which did work on all of my node types as prescribed. I was looking to add the breadcrumbs on all of my views and panels pages too with the newer version of the dev 6x.2x as it looked like it might have solved my problem.

I installed it and walked through the module admin section and it appears like it should be working. I have read that Custom Breadcrumbs needed a hook for the older version to work:

http://drupal.org/node/132557#comment-1823356

My landing pages are custom url panel pages with a hidden title.

Currently the breadcrumb says "home"

I have made a custom breadcrumb for that page, but no dice. Thank you for your time. I hope someone has some in site
