Breadcrumb Questions

Post by JBMoney »

I notice that when pulling up the same category gallery from a joomla menu vs. selecting the category from the phoca main page, I get two different results for breadcrumbs. Using Phoca 3.1.4 and Joomla 2.5.1.

For example, if I go to Phoca Main page and select "Miscellaneous" category I get:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2789819/from_phoca_link.jpg

If I create a Joomla menu item for the "Miscellaneous" category, I get:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2789819/from_menu_link.jpg

1. How do I make them both like the second example (joomla menu)?

2. If I can't do that, where does the "Articles - Miscellaneous" come from in the first example? I've searched the database, the Phoca settings, and the Category setting, and I have no idea where it would be pulling "Articles - " from.

Thanks.

Hi, all depends on menu link to gallery, see similar issue: https://www.phoca.cz/documents/16-joomla ... -in-joomla

OK, I read that. I have menu links to the component already. I was not using SEF at the time, but I turned it on.

Now I can't reach the categories at all through Phoca, only through the Joomla menu links. Was there some other setting I need to check?

Thanks for your time.

What you exactly mean with "reach the categories at all through Phoca" ... the only one way how to reach component is through the menu link (all other parts of site - e.g. link in article, or in module - need to get Itemid - information from menu link to reach component)

I have joomla menu links to categories. When I use those links the page turns out like the second example above.

One can also go to "Categories View", or the main listing of the gallery, or "index.php?option=com_phocagallery&view=categories". If you navigate subcategories from that page, instead of the Joomla Menu, the page looks like the first example above. This is what I mean by 'through Phoca'. And, I just found out, if I have SEO enabled, it doesn't work at all.

I have the Phoca pages working with SEO. However, I still, when I navigate from Categories View, get the "Articles - Category Name" instead of system breadcrumbs
