How to re-position breadcrumbs besides the page title?

[bhargavmehta]

Hi,

I am trying to reposition breadcrumbs inside the page content and move it besides the Page title for all pages.

I have tried moving the breadcrumbs using local.xml but of no use.

Do anyone have the solution for this?

Thanks

Hi there what does the XML in your local.xml look like?

This is what you need to do:

Firstly unset the breadcrumbs inside the default handle:

<default>
<action block="root" method="unsetChild"><name>breadcrumbs</name></action>
</default>

Then you need to drop the breadcrumbs into the content block like this (still inside the default handle):

<action block="content" method="insert"><name>breadcrumbs</name></action>

try that and let us know how you get on.

Thanks,

Gareth.

I removed my local.xml

I currently have default magento RWD theme for which I am looking to move the breadcurmbs beside the Page title for all pages.

Including the cms pages and customer account pages.

How can this be acheived?

Thanks for your pervious solution

Thats ok we can do it without the local.xml.

Firstly open page.xml and cut this line, (around line 108):

<block type="page/html_breadcrumbs" name="breadcrumbs" as="breadcrumbs"/>

Then paste it into the content block which looks like this around line 185:

<block type="core/text_list" name="content" as="content" translate="label">
      <label>Main Content Area</label>
</block>

so you should have something that looks like this:

<block type="core/text_list" name="content" as="content" translate="label">
      <label>Main Content Area</label>
      <block type="page/html_breadcrumbs" name="breadcrumbs" as="breadcrumbs" before="-" />
</block>

The before="-" is the key to this as you are telling Magento to insert this block before everything else.

Please feel free to give some kudos if you find it helpful or mark it as the solution if it works for you!

Thanks,

Gareth.

I want to reposition the breadcumbs only on on catalog pages. I have placed the following code at the top of the local.xml file;
<catalog_category_default>
<reference name="root">
<action method="unsetChild"><name>breadcrumbs</name></action>
</reference>
<catalog_category_default>

I have placed the following code on the view.phtml file where I want the breadcrumbs to display just below some custom content.
<?php echo $this->getLayout()->getBlock(‘breadcrumbs’)->toHtml(); ?>

In the admin > configuration > Remove Breadcrumbs I have tried both yes and no. When yes breadcrumbs display and when no they do not but with either setting they do not move.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I wish to achieve the same thing as Bhargav Mehta. Can you please help?

Hi there,

you might want to try the view handle instead?

<catalog_category_view>

You will also need to insert the breadcrumbs block back into another block.

<action block="content" method="insert"><name>breadcrumbs</name></action>

Thanks.
