[Plugin: CataBlog] Breadcrumbs – Page Structure?

  • Hey,

    I’ve started playing with catablog seeing if I can adapt it to my needs so far its working great and is doing everything I need.

    However I am making a brochure style catalogue of products which have a three tier navigation.

    I’ve installed breadcrumbs navXT to have my page links along the top of my pages.

    Website Structure:

    Home
    – Product Type
    — Product Type Two
    — Product Pages

    I’ve set up the product type, and product type page two, to be normal wordpress pages with images of the types that link to galleries pages in catablog.

    On the Product type two page I’ve used the short code [catablog_gallery id=””], to which my breadcrumbs show correctly.

    However from this page each product in the galleries is linked to its own single page, which the link it generates is “items/ProductName/”.

    This then resets my breadcrumbs to

    Home > Product Name

    Instead of:

    Home > Product Type > Product Type Two > Product Name

    Is there a work around with catablog to make the page structure work so the product is in the product type?

    Cheers

    Hi ironfenix,

    So I am not sure exactly how you would get single CataBlog pages to work with your blog’s page structure. Typically I would say that you need to make your entire hierarchy in CataBlog, but it doesn’t support hierarchical categories. So how to do this….

    My first thoughts are to build the breadcrumbs your self in the single-catablog-items.php template file. Can you use the CataBlog item’s selected categories to figure out what the product’s breadcrumb trail is? If so some custom PHP could do the trick.

    Thanks for the reply. I think I’m just going to have to take off the breadcrumbs from the product specific pages :/

    Thanks anyway!
