Hello, I have set up breadcrumbs in the admin, but where on the pages are the breadcrumbs supposed to appear? Is it supposed to be in the $content? There are no blocks on the block admin page. This is something obvious I bet.

Hi,

Which theme are you using?

1) If using Omega, you can install and activate the Delta module which will make the breadcrumbs available as a block.

2) Check your theme actually uses breadcrumbs too.

3) If using Bartik or something, they usually appear just above content, not sure whether they are in their own region or not though but you can see in page.tpl.php in the Bartik theme folder this code:

    <?php if ($breadcrumb): ?>
      <div id="breadcrumb"><?php print $breadcrumb; ?></div>
    <?php endif; ?>

I'm no expert but I believe this means that if breadcrumbs are enabled in your theme, they will appear at this point on the page.

Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks for the reply. I am using a custom theme. I used your PHP there and they came up. Is there anything else I should know about this?

Thanks so much!

Anything else? Not sure what you mean there.

Personally I like having it available as a block (Delta module) but I don't see a problem just chucking it in your template file if you know where it's going to be placed.

Be aware, if you do use Delta, there is an issue which I had yesterday:

I owe them one on that thread for getting me out of a real headache of a situation! Good luck :)
