XF 2.1 Rebuild breadcrumbs?

[asprin]

As part of my add-on, I've seen that when I go the landing page (my addon controller->index function), the breadcrumb getting generated is as follows:


The "FC" links to localhost/xen/fc where "xen" is the root folder and "fc" is my add-on public controller.

Is there a way to prepend the breadcrumb with the forum index link (localhost/xen)? Something like this:




The things I've tried so far after looking at existing templates:
(1) Using source attribute on the breadcrumb tag

<xf:title>Some titles goes here</xf:title>
<xf:breadcrumb source="$crumbs" />

<!--
$crumbs would be something like this:
array(
    ['href' => 'aaa', 'value' => 'Forums'],
    ['href' => 'bbb', 'value' => 'FC']
)
-->

This results in the following (the root link isn't getting overwritten):



(2) Using breadcrumbs tag

<xf:title>Some title</xf:title>
<xf:breadcrumb href="aaa">Forums</xf:breadcrumb>
<xf:breadcrumb href="bbb">FC</xf:breadcrumb>

This results in the following (same result as (1)):



In summary, I'm able to append to the existing breadcrumb but not prepend or remove the root link. How would I go about building the breadcrumb from scratch via PHP or within a template if at all it is possible?

What is set as "Root breadcrumb" in admin.php?options/groups/basicBoard/?

Set to Home

Set to Home

And if you change that to "Forums"?

That does the trick. Thank you

On a sidenote, this isn't working (i.e. AAA doesn't get appended to the existing crumb)

<xf:breadcrumb href="{{link('fc/view', $event)}}">AAA</xf:breadcrumb>

whereas using a hardcoded value works (i.e. I do get to see AAA at the end)

<xf:breadcrumb href="fc/fiew">AAA</xf:breadcrumb>

but then I would lose the route format data. Any way to have link supported here?

Any help here? link function doesn't seem to be working inside href.

link() should work inside href here - because that does work in core templates too. Don't know what's going on here..

The thing is, without the second argument, the breadcrumb appears on the page. But as soon as I add the entity object, it disappears from the page.

This works:

<xf:breadcrumb href="{{link('fc/view')}}">AAA</xf:breadcrumb>

But this doesn't

<xf:breadcrumb href="{{link('fc/view', $event)}}">AAA</xf:breadcrumb>

And $event is defined and valid as I'm using it below in the template later.

How is your fc route defined? And are you using any link building callback?

 

[asprin]

Did a little debugging and found this out

<xf:set var="$test">{{ link('fc/view', $event) }}</xf:set>

Result: /xen/index.php?fc/view/some-title.12
The above proves the route is defined and working fine, right?

And without the entity object:

<xf:set var="$test">{{ link('fc/view') }}</xf:set>

Result: /xen/index.php?fc/view/

And are you using any link building callback?

No, I'm not as far as I know.

Oh, is the breadcrumb the link to the current page? It won't be displayed if so.
