• Hi,
    it is possibile add a breadcrumb navigation (like Home > Images > Name of gallery) to nextGEN Gallery?
    When i use album and then click on a gallery, i have to use the back button of my browser to return to album index page.
    Thanks

  • Hey,
    You might prefer a “built in solution”, however if you don’t mind using another plugin I’d recommend Breadcrumb NavXT, https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/breadcrumb-navxt
    I just installed it and it works perfectly with NextGEN Gallery.
    Once it’s installed and enabled all you need to do is to add something like:

    <div class="breadcrumb">
    You are here: <?php if (function_exists('bcn_display'))
    {
    // Display the breadcrumb
    bcn_display();
    } ?>
    </div>

    To your php templates. (or put the above code in a separate .php file and include it instead, which is a tidier solution)

    Hi Patrick,
    thanks for your reply.
    I’ve been already using that plugin but don’t works as i want.

    Let me explain: i’ve a page named galleries into this page there is
    [album=1,extend]
    the breadbrumb into the galleries page is like “Home > Galleries” but when i click on gallery name the breadcrumb don’t change, i see always “Weblog > Galleries”, don’t displays the gallery name. I want a path like Home > Images > Name of gallery

    Ah I think I know what you mean.
    I have a similar requirement for a website I’m working on.
    As far as I remember I set it up like this:
    In Admin->Gallery->Options->Gallery make sure
    “Deactivate gallery page link” is un-checked.
    Then under “Manage Gallery” click on “edit” for the gallery you want to modify. Change “Create new page” to the parent of the gallery, in your case I think it will be the page called “Galleries”. Then click “Add page”.
    This should create a page for that Gallery, which will open when that gallery is clicked from the album with the breadcrumbs displaying ok.
    I’m not 100% sure if this is how I did it, but I think it was.

    I am confused I tried adding this plugin but it does not appear, I pasted the following into my header:

    <div class=”breadcrumb”>
    You are here: <?php if (function_exists(‘bcn_display’))
    {
    // Display the breadcrumb
    bcn_display();
    } ?>
    </div>

    But nothing appears, it is installed as I am able to see the administation panel for the plugin, any ideas?

    I cant seem to get this working either,

    The breadcrumb works fine but when i go into a gallery it still just displays the name of the page which pulls the album.

    Anybody know what i can do to get it to display the name of the gallery ?
