Breadcrumb for Category title

[babyewok]

Hi,

I want to keep the breadcrumb as it is, but I also want to add the parent category to the subcategory name on the category page.

For example, the parent category is "Women" and the subcategory is "Skirts". On the category page for the subcategory, I want to show: "Women: Skirts" as the title. It would be good if I can just show the immediate parent category in the case of sub-sub categories, but since there are no sub-subcategories at the moment, that is not so important.

I can use {$path} which works, but I want to use a colon ( instead of the usual navigation pipe symbol (>). How can I do this? Or does anyone have a much better way of going about this?

No one has any ideas?

Have you tried going to Preferences > Appearance and changing the "Navigation pipe" to ":"?

[babyewok]

Yes, but I want the > for the usual breadcrumb and : for the category title. How would I go about creating a new breadcrumb? Woudl that be easier than editing the existing one to show differently for category titles?

You are making things difficult for yourself. What's wrong with the following?

Home > Women > Skirts

Why must it look like the following?

Home > Women: Skirts

You can try changing line 4 of breadcrumb.tpl from

<a href="{$base_dir}" title="{l s='return to'} {l s='Home'}">{l s='Home'}{if $path}{$navigationPipe|escape:html:'UTF-8'}{if !$path|strpos:'span'}{$path}{else}{$path}{/if}{/if}

to:

<a href="{$base_dir}" title="{l s='return to'} {l s='Home'}">{l s='Home'}{if $path}{$navigationPipe|escape:html:'UTF-8'}{if !$path|strpos:'span'}{$path|replace:' >':':'}{else}{$path|replace:' >':':'}{/if}{/if}

That should replace ' >' with ':'. That is the only thing I can think of without hacking PrestaShop, which will make upgrading in the future more difficult.

Hmm, that doesn't seem to work - the > is not replaced

OK, I changed the navigation pipe through the back office to : and then changed line 4 in breadcrumb.tlp to read

>

instead of

{$navigationPipe|escape:html:'UTF-8'}

For the category title, I just used {$path}
