Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.
I just tested a few modules to get the behaviour I liked.
The main difference between Breadcrumbs by Path and Easy Breadcrumb is that the latter works with a seperate block, while this module changes the $breadcrumb array. Personally I like that better.
Also Breadcrumbs by Path works with the Sub-pathauto module, while Easy Breadcrumbs doesn’t (at the moment, at least).
Easy Breadcrumb has more options to configure from the interface. Like removing the Home-link, adding the current title (optionally as a link) and what to use as seperator (and more). But I always use a piece of php, taken from the Zen-theme, in my template.php to adjust the breadcrumb.
I guess that the main difference is that easy_breadcrumb creates a block with the breadcrumb inside it, whereas breadcrumbs_by_path updates the items within the standard breadcrumb so that it can be displayed as normal.

joachim commentedI tried both, and Easy Breadbrumb looked to me like it tried to do way to much for this simple use case.

acouch commentedThis needs a little work, but I really love the idea of just worrying about the paths and letting the breadcrumbs take care of themselves.

joachim commentedhttps://drupal.org/node/533448 should be updated with some of the details from comments above.

rooby commentedBased on module descriptions this module also seems a lot like the crumbs module.
Is that an accurate assumption?
