Removing Bread Crumb and Inserting a Standard Link

[eangee]

On the top bar in osCommerce there is a standard breadcrumb linking system. I want to remove that. Instead, I want a link for "Home" and a link for each one of my catagories. How do I do that? Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

The code to display the breadcrumb trail can be found in your includes/header.php file, at or near line 63:

 

<td class="headerNavigation">  <?php echo $breadcrumb->trail(' » '); ?></td>

Tina,

 

Thank you for your help. When I remove that line, the breadcrumb disapears. Now, how do I add a link on that same bar to my home page, and a separate link to each of my catagories?

I don't know much about this type of thing but I think you would just modify that line instead of removing it.

 

Something like:

 

<td <?php echo ('<a href="http://www.mydomain.com">my domain</a>'); ?></td>

Hi Shay,

 

To answer ur question, u can find the codes to change the link at /includes/applications_top.php find this line of code;

 

$breadcrumb = new breadcrumb;

 

after this line u see the coding $breadcrumb->add, for example, if u change this to $breadcrumb->add("Home", "http://mydomain.com/home.php"); the link will be redirected to tat URL.. but unless ur very sure what u are doing, I do not recommend changing the codings below this which determines which category u are in.

 

Cheers!

I went to header.php

 

I started with this:

 

<td class="headerNavigation">  <?php echo $breadcrumb->trail(' » '); ?></td>

 

I changed it to this:

 

<td class="headerNavigation">  <?php echo ('<a href="http://www.eangee.com">home</a>');?></td>

 

The breadcrumb links went away and I was left with a single link that takes you "home." You can see what it looks like on my test page.

 

How do I add additional links behind it to other pages?

I just want to change the word "TOP" to "HOME". That should be pretty easy, if I could just find where the word "TOP" is located....

Find your catalog/includes/languages/PICKYOURLANGUAGE.php file. In there is a section that says

//// header text in includes/header.php

One of those is Top, change it to Home
