dynamic breadcrumb for views based on menu tree

So if I understand correctly, you want the breadcrumb structure to match the menu structure when on a views page.

And rather than typing this in manually, you would like an option to match the menu structure automatically (i.e. dynamically)?

I haven't looked too deeply into this yet, but I am pretty sure this is a reasonable feature request, since we are already handling breadcrumbs for views, and the menu api already provides all the code we would need to set the breadcrumb trail correctly.

#424464: CB for Views: let views create customizable breadcrumbs might be related. You might want to try out that patch and see if it will do what you are looking for.

If implemented, this would go to 6.x-2.x-dev.

This patch adds an option to use the menu structure for the default breadcrumb trail (on the Site configuration >> custom breadcrumbs settings page). If that option is checked then hook_init is used to set the breadcrumb trail for all page types, including views pages. If a custom breadcrumb is defined for a page, then that breadcrumb will be used instead of the default.

I've done some limited testing and it seems to work on views in menu structures like that described in #1.

Some of the code is directly from the menu_breadcrumb module, just implemented within the custom_breadcrumbs structure, so don't run both modules at the same time.

Let me know if this works for you.

Thanks. I';ve tested this patch on a couple of sites over the last week and it seems to be working fine. I've committed this to 6.x-2.x-dev for further testing. If there are problems, please open a new issue.
