[SOLVED] Yoast Breadcrumbs And Page Menu Bar

fromtheranks · #1 Jun 13, 2009, 07:45 PM

I'm trying to add bread crumbs to my page menu bar. I found http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthr...ght=breadcrumb and have been trying to emulate that logic with the Yoast Breadcrumb plugin: http://yoast.com/wordpress/breadcrumbs/.

I'm doing something wrong or haven't done something else that I should.

It works, sort of, but the Breadcrumbs do a new paragraph, or something at the end of the last page menu tab (in this case "Sitemap"), and it gets worse if I try to move through the pages ... it actually picks up the enter tab (format, borders and all) and inserts them into the bread crumb trail. See the attached images.

The default code from the yoast breadcrumb site is:

Code:

<?php if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb') ) {
	yoast_breadcrumb('<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>');
} ?>

In the tests below I tried the function with and without the argument as in the above example, and getting rid of the para tags helped, fractionally but that is all. (I also tried it in header.php and it didn't show up.)

I've tried two different styles of code in bfa_header_config (using the above forum link as a "template", and they both result in essentially the same result:

#1 - my code is in red:

Code:

	$page_menu_bar .= bfa_hor_pages($bfa_ata['sorting_page_menu_bar'], $bfa_ata['levels_page_menu_bar'], 
	$bfa_ata['titles_page_menu_bar'], $bfa_ata['exclude_page_menu_bar']);
	if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb')) 
	{
		ob_start(); yoast_breadcrumb(); $yoast_breadcrumb = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean();
	}
	$page_menu_bar .= $yoast_breadcrumb;
	$page_menu_bar .= '</ul></div>' . "\n";
	// END of Page Menu Bar

#2 - I also tried this version:

Code:

	if ( function_exists('yoast_breadcrumb'))
	$page_menu_bar .= '<li class="breadcrumbs">You are here $raquo;'; 
	{
		ob_start(); yoast_breadcrumb(); $yoast_breadcrumb = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean();
	}
	$page_menu_bar .= $yoast_breadcrumb;
	$page_menu_bar .= '</li></ul></div>' . "\n";

Am I coding something incorrectly. Possible, considering I'm new to PHP and HTML. Or. Am I barking up a dead tree here? ...

Thanks in advance.
