Is it possible to change the Root text in thebreadcrumbs? For example: My breadcrumb displays as:

 Root >> Page1 >> Page2

I'd like to change the text 'Root' to something else like 'Home'. Is it possible to do that? The only way that came to mind was to insert the text 'Home' into the skin HTML template just before the breadcrumb token.

There are two ways that I know of to do this (or something like it):

1)  You can edit the source breadcrumb code in \admin\skins\breadcrumb.vb.  This requires a recompile and, because you are effectually modifying the core, it will get overwritten if you ever upgrade.

2) -my preferred method- add this line of code into your skin .aspx file right before the <dnn:Breadcrumb> line:

          &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://intratest/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx" class="Breadcrumb_Link">Home</a>

(of course, changing the link to whatever your homepage is) and make sure you have "RootLevel=0".

The only time this really looks funny is when you are actually on your home page, or on a subpage below your home page ...then you get "Home >>> Home >> ..." which I can live with.

This has the added benefit of being a skin change and, therefore, not overwritten during upgrades.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable has a better answer, but this works for me.

I had already thought about creating a link within my HTML template. The breadcrumbs do not appear on the home page since the homepage uses a different skin than the rest of the site. Having the breadcrumbs appear on the homepage is not an issue here. I just thought that there may have been some attribute for the BREADCRUMB token that I missed. I find it a little odd that you can change the text for some of the tokens but not all of them.

Thanks for the response. :)

Thought I'd share the correct solution ot this problem since I did end up figuring out the correct way of changing Root in the breadcrumbs.

While logged in as an admin, select the Languages item in the Admin menu. Click on the Language Editor. Expand the Local Resources -> Admin -> Skins -> App_LocalResources and click on Breadcrumb.ascx. Update the Text as needed and click Update.
