Breadcrumbs

[Winntec]

I want to add breadcrumbs to my site and came across this code. As I use php includes for my header, left nav and footer this fits really well
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Method One:
<?
if (isset($folder) && !isset($folder2)) {
echo "<a href=\"/\">Home</a> > <a href=\"./\">$folder</a>";
}
if (isset($folder) && isset($page) && isset($folder2)) {
echo "<a href=\"/\">Home</a> > <a href=\"../\">$folder</a> > <a href=\"./\">$folder2</a>";
}
?>
With this method, you enter this entire code within your header.php file, then in each page add the folder variables:
<?
$folder = 'Internet Marketing';
$folder2 = 'SEO';
include('header.php');
?>
For each extra layer you must add additional code, just follow the same procedure as the above code has and it will work.
----------------------------------------------------------------

My problem is it doesn't seem to work! I put the code that goes in the header, the actual display code, in an html block in the header and added the $folder definitions to the include html block in the page.

Can anyone help and figure either why this doesn't work or what I've done wrong.

Appreciated, Thanks

Re: Breadcrumbs

Not sure on the one above. But this one is worth a look. Just paste it in a html box, & thats it.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--

var path = "";
var href = document.location.href;
var s = href.split("/");
for (var i=2;i<(s.length-1);i++) {
path+="<A HREF=\""+href.substring(0,href.indexOf("/"+s[i])+s[i].length+1)+"/\">"+s[i]+"</A> / ";
}
i=s.length-1;
path+="<A HREF=\""+href.substring(0,href.indexOf(s[i])+s[i].length)+"\">"+s[i]+"</A>";
var url = window.location.protocol + "//" + path;
document.writeln(url);
//-->
</script>

Thanks - I've tried a few like this but they take the page names - what the one I put up in the post above uses page names you set yourself - it's semi-manual but means you have control over the breadcrumb names.

Hey - London Borough of Barnet - way back when i lived in the UK I bought a TVR at John Britain Motors - he won't be there anymore but on the test drive he took it up to 100mph on the A1 - I bought it immediately - cost me 880pounds! Great car - what a blast!

Best

Re: Breadcrumbs

Ah! the odd thing about it is there has been a TVR Centre/garage on Barnet lane, Arkley for as long as i can remember. But was recently changed to Trimar Sports cars, i wonder if this is the same garage be pass on down the years? Link to John britten

At least it bumps the post back up for someone with a bit more php knowledge.
