I'm developing a University website and I have a breadcrumbs question I just cant figure out. I created a custom Content type for PROFILES. So when I create a new student profile, I would like it to appear in the Program area navigation I have designated via the menu link (which it does, appears in menu navigation) BUT it does not appear correctly in the breadcrumb path. ex:

BA Student Profiles main page:

I add a new page using the Profile content type and it appears in the menu but not in the breadcrumb.

Student Profiles main page has the breadcrumb:
Home / Academics / Undergraduate Programs / Bachelor of Arts / Student Profiles

I would like the new Profile to have the breadcrumb:
Home / Academics / Undergraduate Programs / Bachelor of Arts / Student Profiles / Jane Doe

I'm guessing that this breadcrumb is not working because this is a different Content Type than a Page (where the breadcrumbs display fine)?

I looked into Custom Breadcrumbs but I don't think I can easily define paths because each profile will go to a different Program Area.

Am I missing something easy, I don't think it should be this hard to get a Content Type page included in the breadcrumb?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

after spending a couple hours with this and going through the TWO very detailed (and overly complex admin pages) for Custom Breadcrumbs... I found the solution. Simply uncheck the default "Use the taxonomy hierarchy to set the breadcrumb trail for nodes and taxonomy pages"
