Member	positivepurchasing - 1/30/2013 4:05:11 AM How to stop breadcrumbs showing on the homepage Hi, How do I set up the breadcrumb control so that it shows on all pages except the homepage? I have found this tiny bit of documentation - http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/5_5/controls/index.html?cmsbreadcrumbs.htm. Cheers Paul.

RE:How to stop breadcrumbs showing on the homepage

Hey Paul,

In an ASPX page template, you just need to test CMSContext.CurrentDocument.NodeAliasPath or DocumentName for the alias path or name of your home page in the Page_Load method. If one of the properties matches your home page's properties, set the Visible property of the breadcrumbs control to false.

If you're using Portal engine, you can use a K# macro. Open up the properties of the Breadcrubs web part and click the small arrow next to the Visible property. Then enter the condition under which you want the web part to be visible.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
Dave

RE:How to stop breadcrumbs showing on the homepage

Hi,

Thanks for your help guys.

I can't get the breadcrumb control to do anything useful. It will only show pages that are not in the root of the website.

For example these pages don't show http://www.example.com/Products.aspx, http://www.example.com/About.aspx and these pages show http://www.example.com/Products/Books.aspx, http://www.example.com/About/Team.aspx.

Does anyone know what is happening? or can I be directed to some documentation Please.

Cheers
Paul.

RE:How to stop breadcrumbs showing on the homepage

Hello,

I'll start with some links to documentation: Breadcrumbs Control, Breadcrumbs Web part Properties, other navigation controls.

The breadcrumbs should show you the entire path depending on your actual position on the site, for example like this, when you are on the 'Team' document:

About > Team

You mentioned the breadcrumbs do not show if you access the pages directly under the root. There might be an issue with web part settings. Could you check the following property is set like this:

Starting path: /

However this is only one of things which could be causing it. If it doesn't solve the issue, please paste an export of the web part settings in here, so that I can take a look and test them. The option to export the settings is at the very bottom of the web part properties.

Regards,
Josef Dvorak
