Add parent category to breadcrumbs path

[Guest]

Hi,

 

I've just installed osCommerce, and the STS modification, and I've noticed that in the $breadcrumbs function only displays 'Top > Catalog > Accessories' (Accessories being a sample category). Is it possible to display the parent category of Accessories before it, so it reads 'Top > Catalog > Parent Category > Accessories'? I've done a bit of Googling and I couldn't find the answer.

 

Cheers!

  return $trail_string;

?>

 

this is my file and my site lists all of the categories and subcategories.

I'll give that a go, thanks very much for your help.

 

Edit: Didn't work, it's the same file as I've got. It still displays 'Top > Catalog > Accessories'. Do I have to edit the script to make it display the parent category or something?

Whoops, turns out I was linking it wrong. I was just linking to index.php?cPath=26 rather than index.php?cPath=25_26 :blush:
