Setting up custom breadcrumbs for book pages

You would want a node-type breadcrumb with node-type book page, but the problem is that there isn't a token (to my knowledge) that provides a separate crumb for each parent. The closest is [bookpath-raw] which would provide a breadcrumb like

term >> book (first level)/book page (second level)/book page (third level)/book page (fourth level)

with 'term' linked to /path/to/term/page and the book path linked to book page (third level).

To set up this breadcrumb you would use:

Titles

term
[bookpath-raw]

Paths

path/to/term/page
<pathauto> | [bookpath-raw]

If you really want every parent to show with separate links in the breadcrumb, you would need to write some custom php code to create each part of the crumb and use the advanced option to use php code in defining titles and paths.

I don't think that code will accomplish your goal either. Tokens only return a single value. In your example it seems like you need about 4 separate values, the title linked to the path for each level?

There is a feature request to use identifiers to generate multiple crumbs in cases like these. See #754494: Provide hooks for modules to provide special identifiers for custom breadcrumbs, capable of building multiple crumbs for details. When that is implemented, this might become much easier.

#754494: Provide hooks for modules to provide special identifiers for custom breadcrumbs, capable of building multiple crumbs has now been committed to 6.x-2.x-dev. With the new custom breadcrumbs identifiers sub module enabled, you'll see a new <book-hierarchy> identifier that provides multiple crumbs, one for each parent node in the book hierarchy. Just place that in the titles and paths section of the custom breadcrumb. So I think this feature request has been fixed.

Your setting didn't come through, can you try enclosing it in code tags so I can better understand the issue?

Thanks.

Thanks. This has now been fixed in 6.x-2.x-dev. http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=375612
