Setting up "Breadcrumbs"

Can anyone (Philippe?:) share their code (even the "div"!) for their breadcrumbs? Thanks!! David.

Nov 22, 2007 17:10 David 1493 posts	OK - I'm learning! :) I set it up like this: `<?php if ($this->breadcrumb == 'Home') { } else {echo $this->breadcrumbs(); } ?>` Works perfectly. Or is there a better way of doing that?

Nov 23, 2007 06:12 David 1493 posts	One oddity I just noticed (in 0.8.7) is that the breadcrumb trail set up by the code above looks like this: `http://localhost/frog2//articles/` Any idea why it should be inserting a double // after my "home" directory?
