Description
Is it possible to make the breadcrumbs configurable?
Use case:
We need to set the breadcrumbs based on an active container that holds an embedded FAQ. The Q/A page needs to represent this structure too. We are manually testing the category to determine the parent menu item.
This location targeting is done early on in the process as it controls many different parts of the system - access / theme / menu / breadcrumbs. The faq module overrides the breadcrumbs that are set at this early stage.
The supplied patch adds a configurable option for this, created from version 6.x-1.8.

hi, will this give me an active menu item when viewing a single faq node?
many thanks!

No, it adds an option to prevent the breadcrumbs being set.
We were using an inhouse custom input filter (@see Input filter tags for the FAQ), and we handled breadcrumbs directly. However, this patch, combined with custom breadcrumbs, could work.
If you implement and embed the tag in a page that has a breadcrumb trail, then this patch will meet your needs. I have had no feedback from the maintainer(s) on these issues yet.
Cheers

It looks like an alternative solution was committed in #362084: Breadcrumb modified when displaying FAQ on a page

I too would like FAQ breadcrumbs to be a configurable option. I am using Custom Breadcrumbs on my site, but of course the FAQ breadrumbs trump everything. I don't want to apply a patch as I am handing this site off to another maintainer. Any chance Alan D's option might make it in to a future release?
