Additional Information

  • What are Breadcrumbs? Breadcrumbs are a navigational aid used in user interfaces. They allow users to keep track of their location within a website or web application. The term comes from the Hansel and Gretel fairy tale.

  • Easy Breadcrumb Module: For more advanced breadcrumb functionality, consider using the Easy Breadcrumb module. This module allows for customization of the breadcrumb trail, including:

    • Including/excluding the front page as a segment.
    • Including/excluding the current page as the last segment.
    • Using the real page title instead of deducing it from the URL.
    • Printing the page title segment as a link.
    • Using menu titles as a fallback.
    • Removing identical segments.
    • And more.
