[solved] List of links from thumbnails page to other pages

[nhelder]

Hi, all.

This is my first time using this product, and I have to say I'm quite impressed.

I'm a stickler for consistency, though, and one thing I'm noticing is that on the thumbnails page (i.e., after you've just clicked on an album), after the standard links you get a drill down list like:

Home > [Category Name] > [Album Name]

I'd really like to have that list of links be included on the other pages, i.e. index.php with and without a selected category id.

I do have a fair degree of coding experience, but this is my first look at .php, and I'm a little lost as to where exactly this list of links is being generated, and how to have that process take place within the main index.php page.

Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Nathan,

logon as admin, click on config, then look for 'contents of main page'.
Add 'breadcrumb' to the list, so it looks like 'breadcrumb/catlist/alblist....'

You will find PHP to be closely related to C.  

For full documentation, take a look at www.php.net/manual/en .

Also to gain a better idea of how Coppermine is structured, you can get this book:

Well, that was easy enough.  Thanks both.

One quick followup: when I set the main page contents value to start off with "breadcrumb/", that navigation bar shows up in most places, but not all (i.e. Last comment, Most viewed, My Favourites).

Is there a way to get the breadcrumb to display there as well?

(And... where does the name breadcrumb come from, anyway?)

Thanks again,

Silly me; now that I have a new keyword to search off of, I should be doing that.

Sounds like the lack of the breadcrumb on the Last comment, My favourites, etc. has already been documented as a bug.
