Hi,

I don't know if I'm missing something, but I haven't found a reason for this behavior:

I create a container, therein a category and the menu structure as well as the breadcrums are created just as expected (Home -> Container -> Category)

When I add content (say type "story" or "page") to this container, which I have selected to be categorized with it, and select the category, the content is still created at Home -> Content and not at Home -> Container -> Category -> Content.

I've used a fresh install, so no other modules are in the way. I'm just trying to achieve what is suggested here http://greenash.net.au/posts/thoughts/basic-breadcrumbs-and-taxonomy and take it "category" is the result of these efforts, so I expected this to work out of the box.

Thanks for any insights
Stefan

Hello,

Same problem over here. And being fairly new to Drupal and Category I’m very curious if what Stefan is suggesting is indeed the expected behaviour.

I have found some kind of workaround though. You can set your Content Type to “Category” (under “Category setting”). You have to set the parent of your post to the correct (sub-)category (in “Category information” / “Hierarchy”), which requires an extra operation which I guess should not be necessary, but alas, it’s the best I could come up with.

Thank you,
Rolf

You need the category_breadcrumb module, which is currently only in the 5.x branch package (edit: It's only in the latest -dev releases for 5.x). I'm going to work on a 6.x version (patch) soon. See #370633: Port category_breadcrumb to D6.

EDIT: You might be also able to accomplish this, if you use category_menu to generate menu links for nodes - although you'll only be able to see a breadcrumb for ONE assigned category on each node, and your menu system may be pretty full of all these node links! Anyway, it also need this fix: #467556: menu links generated into wrong menu. I would suggest to try category_breadcrumb first (link above, now 6.x patch is available).

What I've ended up doing is using the node hierarchy module in order to avoid creating a menu entry for each story, which works quite well.

I'll look into category_breadcumb later. All remaining questions are certainly best posed in the category_breadcrumb thread. I'll therefore close this one.

OK :)

As for category_breadcrumb [created by myself, a part of Category package 'contrib' folder], it certainly DOES create the breadcrumbs WITHOUT need to have menu links for all nodes - that's one of the main points for having the module. The other point is ability to have MORE breadcrumbs if more categories are assigned to a node.
