@subtletech - How can I set the base page for breadcrumbs?

Not currently possible unless I'm mistaken. This would be a feature request. If you have a google account you can add it yourself as an "Enhancement". I can add the request for you if you want.

Or you can write it yourself and submit a patch if you prefer.

Sorry I forgot to mention that the whole of this is to not have the "en" in the breadcrumbs :)

OK. I know this isn't "breadcrumbs", but you can just give a "previous page" link by including this bit of PHP on whatever you are using as your "Normal" template:

<?php if ($this->level() != 0) { echo $this->parent->link('&#8592; to '.$this->parent->title()); } ?>

It just makes sure you're not at the top level, then gives a link to the parent page.

If your "en" page is at level 1 (child of "Home"), then you could always make the test as if ($this->level() > 1) ... if I've got that right!

Maybe that's no use ... just a suggestion!

Just for a laugh, I put subtletech's code on Pastebin, if anyone wants to look at it there. You can also emend/adjust and get diff's there, too.

Looks nice, but I don't think this will handle "mutiple levels"? (i.e. BASE_URL/something/something/)

Did you test this with multiple levels?

It didn't work with multilevel but I then realised I only needed to take out the home page.

I did create a custom function that excluded the paths you want.

lets say for example you want to exclude the home page and the it's child (in my case called "en")

I wrote this in the page.php class (in frog\app\frontend\classes)

public function breadcrumbs_exclude($separator='>', $excludeSlugs = '') {

    $url = '';
    $path = '';
    $paths = explode('/', '/'.$this->slug);
    $nb_path = count($paths);
    $slugsToExclude = explode(",", $excludeSlugs);

    $out = '<div class="breadcrumb">'."\n";

    if ($this->parent)
        $out .= $this->parent->_inversedBreadcrumbs_exclude($separator, $slugsToExclude);

    return $out . '<span class="breadcrumb-current">'.$this->breadcrumb().'</span></div>'."\n";

  }

  private function _inversedBreadcrumbs_exclude($separator, $slugsToExclude)
  {
    $foundSlug = false;
    for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($slugsToExclude); $i++) {
        if ($this->slug == $slugsToExclude[$i]) 
            $foundSlug = true;
    }
    if ($foundSlug == false)
        $out = '<a href="'.$this->url().'" title="'.$this->breadcrumb.'">'.$this->breadcrumb.'</a> <span class="breadcrumb-separator">'.$separator.'</span> '."\n";

    if ($this->parent)
        return $this->parent->_inversedBreadcrumbs_exclude($separator, $slugsToExclude) . $out;

    return $out;
}

And to call the function all you need to do is

echo $this->breadcrumbs_exclude(">", ",fr'')

Notice there's nothing before the comma, that's for the homepage which needs to have an empty slug

Then again, I'm just a newbie so if it helped someone, great, if not oh well!!

Cheers

LOL... even better, instead of passing the ",en", you could just pass along the url "/en" and then in the function do an explode("/",$excludeSlugs);

That would be way more logical
