Breadcrumb not working properly

[tristam]

Apart from the home page and the top section level my bread crumb just links to the page it is currently on rather than the previous section level. This seems to be on section pages and not product pages although I would like to add another section level option on the product page.

Any ideas??

You seem to have resolved this? - Nice Bootstrap design by the way.

Forgot about this post for a while.

Not yet resolved.

All the breadcrumb links just link to the page you are currently on and not the the correct page as per the link.

I have had a play around with it for a while but can't get it to work.

Although you have a custom design try using a default beadcrumb layout to see if this works, but you may need someone to look at a snapshot.

Your breadcrumb links look like e.g.:

<a href="" title="Cross Pens">Cross Pens</a>

And that empty href is your problem.
The layout involved is usually Compact Parent Section Link and this is what it looks like in standard SellerDeck 2016:

<a href="<actinic:variable name="SectionHref" />" target="_self" class="link_breadcrumbs"><actinic:variable name="SectionName"/></a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;

Best check your Compact Parent Section Link layout (Design / Library / Layouts / Parent Section List Entry) and see what's there.

If the Compact Parent Section Link looks like yours rather than Norman's, make a copy to preseve any customisation then right click and revert to factory settings.



Once working you can reapply customisations - carefully!

Also Check Parent Section Lists and revert if neccessary...

Thanks guys.

I have added line 3 but the SectionHref doesn't go to another layout as you can see in the design tree. I don't know how to add a layout to this. I experimented by just adding the code from the layout SectionHref which I found in the layout library.

block ifSectionName/blockblock ifSectionURL/block instead of this SectionHref code. This worked but I would like to do it properly. ie making this SectionHref link to the correct layout

[tristam]

To add to this, when I right click where I want the SectionHref, Insert Layout, Select the layout it doesn't add the next level of the design tree to this.

I don't think either of us suggested copying and pasting stuff.

Try using the default compact parent section list instead of the MM one. If that works then apply the MM styles to the working layout.

[tristam]

So if I right click and then insert layout i should be able to find Compact Parent Section Link? Can't find it though. I can find it in the design library

Inserting layouts is covered in p5 of the Advanced User Guide from the SD website. You are looking to insert a parent section list

OK. Many thanks for your help. I will have a play around with this.
