Breadcrumbs for Squishdot
Squishdot Posted by Chris Withers on Thursday January 17, 11:19AM, 2002
from the fun dept.
If anyone's interested, I've got breadcrumbs going on a Squishdot site. Here's how...

Basically, add the attached python script to your Squishdot site.

Then, in posting_html, for example, add the following line to show the breadcrumbs:

<dtml-var breadcrumbs>

Let me know what you think :-)

cheers,

Chris

    It's nice. Thanks, Chris!

    I found a very little bug.
    last line of 'for' scope should be:

    print '<a href="%s">%s</a> >> ' % ( url, parent.title )

      Sorry, no problem in Chris's code.
      What I used was 'rendered' one.

      It's a naviagation aid that looks like:

      root >> Some Article >> Some Reply >> etc

      ...that lets you navigate tree structures mroe easily...

      cheers,

      Chris

    ...How can I (a user of your site) see my navigation trail at the site you posted?

    And for what it's worth,
    I didn't see the breadcrumbs addition to the site changes, either.

        The previous reply with the ">>" notation answered my question.

        When I went to your site I didn't see the navigation trail. Now I do. Thanks.

    I don't see any Hierarchy on your site. So you are never more than one level away from the homepage. As much as I love breadcrumbs, what does it do for squishdots?

    • Ya don't _have_ to use them ;-)

      I find it useful for navigating deep within replies.

      I get mailed URLs to new postings, when I click on these, the breadcrumbs let me navigate to the level in the threaded discussion that I care about.

      cheers,

      Chris
