Shorten Breadcrumbs Sensiblity
Here is a really simple way to shorten long bread crumb trails without causing the customer to loose access to the crumbs along the trail.
I needed to a way trim the breadcrumb but I didn't want to make things harder for costumers so I decided to keep the first crumb (home), and the last two. All the rest in between are replaced by an ellipsis.
To further aid usability I added title tags so hovering over the breadcrumb reveals the titles they display.
For short bread crumbs (3 or fewer) nothing is trimmed.
-- Simple instructions, replace one block of code in one file.
