Kentico Legend	Brenden Kehren - 8/22/2013 2:43:20 AM Url Alias in Breadcrumbs How do I get an alias to display in the breadcrumbs? For instance I have a page /Products with 2 url aliases: /Products/{Category} and /Products/{Category}/{Product} I can't get Products > Electronics > Computers to display in the breadcrumbs. It stops at /Products.

RE:Url Alias in Breadcrumbs

Would it be easier to just create your own BC repeater? I have been working a lot with custom queries in Kentico and often times I am finding it easier to leverage the system queries directly and pull the data I need for display. The view_[your item]_joined query seems to pull back all information related to a document allowing you to simulate a lot of the automatic functionality from the web parts.

This has been especially useful for me since I do not have enough access to write custom controls.


Kentico Legend	Brenden Kehren - 8/22/2013 1:02:06 PM RE:Url Alias in Breadcrumbs Makes sense, thanks for the suggestion. I was simply looking for out of the box functionality, maybe a setting I was missing. I might suggest using caution with those views especially if you bring back all the columns and not just the columns you need. It could affect site performance greatly.


Member	vcarter - 8/22/2013 1:59:01 PM RE:Url Alias in Breadcrumbs Agreed. The only one I am using ATM is a fully custom query that references the views to get specific columns. I needed a non user control way of splitting multiselect data and displaying the text values. Hope you find what you are looking for.
