How do I set the node title as breadcrumb?

Question

How can I set the breadcrumbs for a node? I have a node which is in the menu and also the head menu with the id 2 which contains the imprint.

If I open my page http://my.page.tld/imprint (I'm using the SEO stuff) I can see my text with the correct title but with no useful breadcrumbs. It's Home instead of Home » Imprint.

How can I fix that?

Answer 1

You can use Menu Breadcrumb. It allows you to Append the page title to the breadcrumb (either as a clickable url or not) . Or you can edit your theme's page.tpl.php - simply add $title after the $breadcrumb variable.

There are also a ton of other breadcrumb modules if you want to get fancy:

1. Crumbs
2. Custom Breadcrumbs
3. Hansel

Answer 2

A simple custom solution would be to add a function like this in your theme's template.php file:

function MYTHEME_preprocess_node(&$variables) {
  //Retrieve current breadcrumb
  $breadcrumbs = drupal_get_breadcrumb();
  //Add the title without link
  $breadcrumbs[] = $variables['node']->title;
  //OR add the title with a link
  $breadcrumbs[] = l($variables['node']->title, 'node/'.$variables['node']->nid);

  //Set the new breadcrumb
  drupal_set_breadcrumb($breadcrumbs);
}

Answer 3

Breadcrumbs do not include the name of the current page. The thought behind this is that you are on the page and do not need a link to get there. Breadcrumbs are a link menu that is always one step back, so you can back up quickly.

Answer 4

Put this code in template.php (and change MYTHEME to your theme name)

function MYTHEME_breadcrumb($variables) {
  $variables['breadcrumb'][] = drupal_get_title();
  return theme_breadcrumb($variables);
}
