I was having some trouble displaying a breadcrumb for pages in a site that uses a 'flat' menu structure, so in the end I decided to investigate the code.

As luck would have it I spotted that one of the options was obtained via the constant menu_breadcrumb_hide_on_single_item.

I wondered if this meant that the configuration option for Hide the breadcrumb if the breadcrumb only contains the link to the front page was mis-labelled, and sure enough, if I turned that off, all of my top-level menus suddenly acquired breadcrumb trails.

The good thing is that although the home page also appears in the menu, it didn't acquire a breadcrumb trail, which is exactly what I wanted.

In short, the module does precisely what I needed it to do (thanks!), but it strikes me that the checkbox is incorrectly labelled.

Title: Label for hiding breadcrumb option seems at odds with behaviour » Label for hiding breadcrumb when only referring to the front page seems at odds with behaviour

Making the title more precise.

May I rephrase to check if I understand you correctly?

* you had that setting enabled
* your breadcrumbs only had a single crumb
* this crumb was /not/ the homepage, because of your menu structure
* breadcrumbs were concealed until you cleared that setting

?
