Hi,

Admittedly this is the first time I have ever tried to use the Breadcrumb control in 4 years of DNN so I apologize if this is obvious.

If you go to a module that relies on a quertystring variable ID, the Breadcrumb only shows the base tab URL. This causes 2 problems:

 

  1. Google indexes a non-existant (from a content POV) page
  2. People might click on the Breadcrumb and it will reload the blank page (the modules wont have the required ID

You can see the problem on my staging server - go to this event -

test.pokerdiy.com/poker-event/id/10934/pokerdiy-poker-nordica-75-freeroll-2-us-players-welcome.aspx   and you can see the Breadcrumb shows "Find > Poker Events > 

Poker Event" - the last one being clickable and it calls the base tab with no ID - http://test.pokerdiy.com/poker-event.aspx  (which throws all sorts of errors).

The easiest solution is to make the last node nomal text (ie. no link) - is this possible without a source change?

Doesn't look like the default breadcrumbs control will fit your needs without either a core change, or a new skin object (which is the method I'd recommend)

Below are the current exposed propertys of the DNN5.0.1 breadcrumbs skinobject for reference.

Public Property Separator() As String - Defaults to "/images/breadcrumb.gif"
Public Property CssClass() As String - Defaults to "SkinObject"
Public Property RootLevel() As String - Defaults to "1", 
Public Property UseTitle() As Boolean - Defaults to False

I'd could easily send you a breadcrumb control that should function and fix your issues, but I've pretty much upgraded all my bits for DNN5. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance

Thanks for the offer Oliver - give me a few more days working on my new design and I'll investigate my options.

I am suprised that it has lasted for so many years if this is how it has always worked - I can see no advantage to making the last link clickable and many Breadcrumb Usability guides discourage it, not to mention the obvious bug mentioned above that must have always existed?
