Hi All,

I have spent about an hour trying to find my answer here in the forums, but no luck.

I would like to add a simple link to my homepage to the breadcrumb trail so that visitors don't have to back all the way out to get back home.

I am just starting out with PHP, so the more explicit the instructions, the better.

Thanks a bunch!!

Apply this code

/* home breadcrumb start */
if (strcmp($pAlbum->fields["returnto"], "no")) {
   $breadtext[$breadCount] ="<a href=\"/\">[Home]</a>";
   $breadCount++;
}
/* home breadcrumb end */

as illustrated below

} while ($pAlbumName);
/* INSERT IT HERE */
//-- we built the array backwards, so reverse it now ---

in view_album.php and any other php's w/ crumbs
it might work better in the do-while statement, or include more code to detect if the session is offline

This code works great on my view_album.php and view_photo.php pages.

I can't seem to find where to put this to get it to show up on the main albums.php page.

Any advice?

Thanks

There doesn't appear to be any code in albums.php relating to breadcrumbs (you don't even get the 'Logged in as: Username' message). So, an assumption would be that I just need to copy over any code relating to breadcrumbs from the view_album.php into albums.php.

Has anyone done this before and know what all needs to be moved over?

Thanks

Why not use the wrapper files this is what they are for and you don't have to edit the files after each upgrade?

But if you want a link next to the lagin and welcome message:
In albums.php look for 

if ($gallery->user->isLoggedIn() && !$gallery->session->offline) {

	$displayName = $gallery->user->displayName();
	$adminCommands .= sprintf(_("Welcome, %s"), $displayName) . " <br>";
}

and add $adminCommands .= " <a href=\"your_url_to_home/index.php\">Home</a> ";
