How to hide the breadcrumb trail if on the homepage?
Thanks!
Hello..
This works for me:
1. open the 'layout.php' file in '\catalog\controller\common' (back it up first to be sure)
2. look for this piece of code: (line #19 ??)
3. replace it with this code:
Basically your testing if you are on the 'Home' page, if yes, clear the 'breadcrumbs' array, if no,
display it normally.
Hope that helps.

Hi.
Yes, you will have an error since the 'route' key is not set.
In this case,you can use isset() or maybe empty() as a test, then use the code above.
Hope that helps!

I don't have much knowledge in php, but i just researched isset and empty, and have come up with what i think you mean.
Find
Replace with:
Is this correct?
Find
Code: Select all
$this->data['breadcrumbs'] = $this->document->breadcrumbs;Code: Select all
$request = new Request();
if (isset($request->get['route'])) {
$this->data['breadcrumbs'] = array();
}
if($request->get['route']=='common/home'){
$this->data['breadcrumbs'] = array();
}else{
$this->data['breadcrumbs'] = $this->document->breadcrumbs;
}Tested my code and it doesn't work at all :p
I tried this:
And it works well without errors; however, if using seo urls, then the code assumes that get['route'] is empty, so it doesn't display the breadcrumb bar.
Help please
I tried this:
Code: Select all
$request = new Request();
if (empty($request->get['route'])) {
$this->data['breadcrumbs'] = array();
}else{
if($request->get['route']=='common/home'){
$this->data['breadcrumbs'] = array();
}else{
$this->data['breadcrumbs'] = $this->document->breadcrumbs;
}
}Help please
In layout.tpl where the breadcrumbs appear...
As seen on alreadymade.com
Code: Select all
<?php if(sizeof($breadcrumbs) > 1) { //no breadcrumbs on the homepage ?>
<div id="breadcrumb">
<?php foreach ($breadcrumbs as $breadcrumb) { ?>
<?php echo $breadcrumb['separator']; ?><a href="<?php echo $breadcrumb['href']; ?>"><?php echo $breadcrumb['text']; ?></a>
<?php } ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>http://www.alreadymade.com

Thanks for the help readyman.
Your original code screws up my template.
Is much better

Code: Select all
<div id="breadcrumb">
<?php if(sizeof($breadcrumbs) > 1) { //no breadcrumbs on the homepage ?>
<?php foreach ($breadcrumbs as $breadcrumb) { ?>
<?php echo $breadcrumb['separator']; ?><a href="<?php echo $breadcrumb['href']; ?>"><?php echo $breadcrumb['text']; ?></a>
<?php }} ?>
</div>I'm assuming you've got some height or other issue applied where you need to have the breadcrumb div always visible? For best practice, you should hide the element when it's not used, and apply the required spacing on a different element eg. navigation bottom margin or similar.
But if it works already, I guess you won't want to change anything.

Hi..
readyman's solution is more appropriate since it is template based therefore much more portable
although in the MVC style, it will be done in the C, in this case since it is done
in the V, you can move it from template to template and not mess with the C

Thanks for the advice; it's always good to learn new things.
I've wanted to learn more about php for a while, and now it's summer i have a bit of time and can do so
Can you tell me the implications of doing it the way i did?
Cheers

It's not a big issue, but it helps to keep track of things, otherwise you are rebuilding everytime there's an update.
The implications of editing the core files are:
- You've changed the source, so any submitted files, templates etc, might not work with your changes.
- Your changes will not be included in future upgrades to the core and would mean you are recoding these into an updated core.
- If the changes you are making are to the layout & structure and not data related, then it's best to keep this type of code in the 'view'. Let controller and models handle the data & use the view to control the display.
