Breadcrumb Navigation

Of course I have more ideas.. Very Happy

It would be nice to have a breadcrumb navigation link system in the header for Raven Nuke(tm). The forums have it and so will Raven Nuke Merchant(tm). All we need now is to tie it into the other modules.

The breadcrumb of this page:

Ravens PHP Scripts And Web Hosting Forum Index » v2.3 RN Feedback/Suggestions

I see this as more of a theme specific request. Not sure how you would implement something like this across all themes unless there are designed for it. Not that I am against it just some food for thought.

As mentioned phpbb and RavenNuke Merchant(tm) already has the breadcrumb navigation.. We could just rewrite the class and functions to go with the modules. I would say put the class and functions in the includes folder, include_once in the header then just call the function wherever you want.

Still close compared to everyone else on the team.

Are you looking to do this with just modules indexes or are talking about each modules extending this functionality.

With each module. Were ever you are on RavenNuke(tm) the breadcrumb will print your exact location.

Example:

I've been wanting to do this for a very long time. Just never bubbled up high enough on the priority list. My biggest concern with this is already how bad some *nuke modules (e.g., News) are about having multiple link paths to essentially the same content. Just please, please, please do not make this worse. Wink

But, I am sure you have already addressed that.

Can't wait to see it!

I like it. Especially since it uses jquery.

alien73, Just curious as to how far you have gotten on this. I really see a potential need in even within module breadcrumbs, such as the NSNGD module as its breadcrumbs are "broken" once you get into a download. It would be nice for the breadcrumb facility to be site-wide / module-wide. Maybe the breadcrumb is an object and any given module can add/remove nodes in the breadcrumb as navigation proceeds.

Have you looked at how the jQuery based one is getting its text and link? I wonder if its pulling from the page title and referrer link... if so, Dynamic Titles could wreak havoc with the text. I also don't understand their SEO claim: "we decided to go with a client side solution for usability and SEO reasons". That doesn't make sense to me. If it takes JS to create the links, and search engines are not really JS enabled, how can this be good for SEO? I'm just not getting it.
