Hi,

in Drupal6 (v6.12) breadcrumbs should be automatically shown. THis is true, at least for adminitration pages, here they are shown correctly (e.g. Home > Administration > Structuring, or something like that, I'm translating from German...)

For the pages created by me breadcrumbs are not shown correctly. I have main links (horizontal navigation), which are linked to a menue containing menueitems (left sidebar). Structure looks like this:

Main1: page (over main links, breadcrumb=“Home”)
—Menue1: page (over left sidebar, breadcrumb=“Home”)
——Menue-item1: page (over left sidebar, breadcrumb=“Home”)
——Menue-item2: page (over left sidebar, breadcrumb=“Home”)
—Menue2: page (over left sidebar, breadcrumb=“Home”)

For all above pages is shown "Home" as breadcrumb. For the page under Menue-item1 I would expect a breadcrumb like this: "Home > Main1 > Menue1 > Menue-item1", but only "Home" is displayed.

Do I have to change something in the configuration fo navigation (menues, blocks, ...)?

The is also modul "custom breadcrumb", but I heared that this will not solve the problem...

I also use "pathauto" for generation of URL-aliases. The Module generates aliases according to the defined rule ([menupath-raw]/[title-raw]), but the result is only: Menue1/Menue-item1/pagetitel (Main1 is missing from the path...).

Do I have some "gap" between main links and the menues?

Maybe somebody can help, the breadcrumb issue is quite important for our design...

Regards
Volkmar

i think you will see your desired behavior only for menu items in the "Navigation" menu. if you want to use other menus, you'll have to write a custom mytheme_breadcrumb function to have the breadcrumbs act appropriately.

thx a lot for recommendation. I will try it out. Probably I have to reactivate my PHP knowledge before and read about the Drupal API. Then maybe I will succeed...
