Issue Summary
I'm requesting to be able to completely disable the breadcrumbs, and to have a block with breadcrumbs.
the nicest way i can see to do that, is to make a module for it.
posting it against menu, as that seems to be the best place.

Holy cow. What an awesome idea!
Should be fairly easy -- still possible for D7?
#2
I guess not, since we're already in code slush. (4 months before the first reply... I love Open Source ;) )

Just had the same thought and went looking for an issue. Thumbs up for this, and it's in line with the way other page content has been going in Drupal.
#5
FWIW, I have just done something similar now in a sandbox module for D6. Mostly trivial and easy.

You can get it by going
cvs co -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib -d breadcrumb_block contributions/sandbox/dman/breadcrumb_block... not sure if it's worth a stand-alone project yet. Maybe.
Options on the block config page include:
... Now I can place breadcrumbs in the $header from the UI :-)
Until now this has been regarded as a theme thing, but it can also be done through a module, and I prefer managing it like this. Some code taken (with respect) from Zen theme which provides some of this functionality also.
Just making a note here as it's the search result I found when looking for previous solutions.

This is awesome. We need a proper breadcrumbs api in D8.
#7
Less dodgy now, I found I can use hook_preprocess_page() to nullify the default breadcrumb rendering.
@me happy now.
Thinking this really is worth a small project of its own. For incubation if nothing else.

...coming from #576290: Breadcrumbs don't work for dynamic paths & local tasks after Daniel's suggestion in post #133. +1 for this as a separate module too!

I just today had to add this code to a D6 site:
function MYCUSTOMTHEME_breadcrumb($breadcrumb) {if ($breadcrumb !== array(l(t('Home'), NULL))) {
return zen_breadcrumb($breadcrumb);
}
}
and this code to a D7 site:
function MYCUSTOMMODULE_preprocess_breadcrumb(&$variables) {if ($variables['breadcrumb'] === array(l(t('Home'), NULL))) {
$variables['breadcrumb'] = NULL;
}
}
in order to not display a breadcrumb when the only link in it is "Home", so for this and many other reasons, +1 to this issue for D8, with some config options as per #5.
Note also some of the UI discussion in #897768: Breadcrumb can show only one trail item, making it look like an action. Would be good to collate some more UI research on what would make for sensible defaults.

#10 was x-post with #9. Awesome! Glad we have a D7 contrib project for pushing this along!

You will be able to simplify and speed up your code after #907690: Breadcrumbs don't work for dynamic paths & local tasks #2 landed. It introduces hook_menu_breadcrumb_alter(). :)

Oh dear lord let this happen - subscribe...

If anyone needs a breadcrumb block right now, Blockify module will do it for you.
