Hello all,
I'm new to Drupal and am getting a site up and running (it's been great so far). But I've run into a problem I can't seem to solve, even after extensive searching.
I've got a bunch of pages each with a taxonomy term. I am then using Views to filter for this term, and then list all of those pages in a Views page as nodes.
I can see a breadcrumb at the top of the ENTIRE LIST of nodes, showing the path to the page with the list on it. But, I cannot find a way to insert a breadcrumb above the title of EACH SEPARATE NODE in the Views list to show their individual paths. This question applies to Views lists that are generated not just off taxonomy terms, but really all Views lists.
Any help would be appreciated (and sorry if my terminology isn't 100% accurate, still learning).
All the best,
E

Have you tried adding a field in your view that holds the taxonomy term to the view?

Thanks for the quick reply VM.
I did, but found that there's two issues with that:
1) The taxonomy term links to the taxonomy term page, not the actual page in the path it should represent.
2) It would be best if the path could be multiple levels deep and follow the structure of the Navigation menu (rather than being based on the flat taxonomy term).
Basically, it should be a normal breadcrumb to the listed page if possible.

1) correct. That's how term links are intended to work. They aren't links directly to singular nodes like breacrumbs may be. They link directly to a list of nodes which also have the same term. I'd suppose many enable the taxonomy view that comes with views.module and is disabled by default to alter core's default taxonomy listings.
2) some fields allow you to rewrite the output when setting up the field, whether taxonomy does I don't recall. Some fields accept tokens which may help further your research.
I could very well be incorrect but to me this sounds more and more like you probably shouldn't be using taxononmy to do the task and should create a cck field to hold a term (outside of taxonomy) then use that field to link to the node when setting up the field in views. Especially since your looking to not have taxonomy lists and only want a breadcrumb type effect.

It just seems like there's got to be a some way of getting a full-fledged breadcrumb into each row, since each listed page does have a proper path.
It's not so much about taxonomy, but moreso just how to get a breadcrumb at the top of each listed item in any Views list.

Like I said, I could be wrong. Taxonomy was designed for a specific purpose to categorize and organize content by tagging it. I'm having a difficult time understanding the corelation between taxonomy tags and breadcrumb generation.
maybe it's just me and it being 20 to 5 in the morning here.

Yeah, that's cool. I will look into what you've suggested since it gets me pretty close to what I am going for. I've had an all-nighter here, so am a bit spaced out myself. Thanks so much for your input.
