Description

I am currently developing custom breadcrumbs integration with module features so that custom breadcrumbs can easily be exported and reused among features and drupal instances.

Is anyone interested in the public release of the code or integrate it directly in module core?

Thanks

Hernani

I am interested in learning more about this. What's required to do this? Can you provide some details?

Hi MGN,

Basically features allows you to export your module definitions to code, so that they can be imported in other drupal installations, compared, synchronized or updated.

Basically what is needed to achieve this is to change the way how custom breadcrumbs access data, so that instead of checking only in the database table it could also check in modules hook.

I think that custom breadcrumbs could achieve this if we stop to use the bid identifier in custom breadcrumbs table, and try to find other primary key for custom breadcrumbs that can be a string no auto-incremented. A key like node _ language, or views_path seems good candidates to this.

Right now i can not do this without this change.

I can provide some of the code developed, so we can achieve this feature and allow that custom_breadcrumbs can be exported along with spaces, contexts, pages, views, etc..
