1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000 The Breadcrumb is a really great feature for helping to indicate where you are 2 00:00:05,001 --> 00:00:10,001 in the navigation on various parts of a particularly a large Web site. 3 00:00:10,002 --> 00:00:15,002 The Breadcrumb is located right here on the home page and you can see it 4 00:00:15,003 --> 00:00:16,003 just says Home here for the moment. 5 00:00:16,004 --> 00:00:20,004 If I go further into the site let's say I go to the About>Company Structure page, 6 00:00:20,005 --> 00:00:24,005 that breadcrumb is now down here at the bottom and it indicates that 7 00:00:24,006 --> 00:00:25,006 I am from the home page, 8 00:00:25,007 --> 00:00:29,007 I went to the About page and into the Company Structure page. 9 00:00:29,008 --> 00:00:31,008 And it allows me to go jump up a level. 10 00:00:31,009 --> 00:00:35,009 I can click on the words About and that will send me back to the top level 11 00:00:35,010 --> 00:00:40,010 About page where I can then navigate to another page on the Web site. 12 00:00:40,011 --> 00:00:44,011 However, I think this breadcrumb is placed relatively badly, all the way 13 00:00:44,012 --> 00:00:45,012 down here at the bottom of the page. 14 00:00:45,013 --> 00:00:49,013 I would much rather see this breadcrumb up at the top of the page. 15 00:00:49,014 --> 00:00:52,014 Maybe just above where the article is starting. 16 00:00:52,015 --> 00:00:57,015 The other thing I'd like to do is, I really don't want this breadcrumb showing on the home page. 17 00:00:57,016 --> 00:01:00,016 It's kind of a waste here. I know I'm on the home page. 18 00:01:00,017 --> 00:01:03,017 The breadcrumb doesn't do anything for me. It just says Home. 19 00:01:03,018 --> 00:01:06,018 There's nothing here I can click. There's nothing here I can do. 20 00:01:06,019 --> 00:01:11,019 So what I would like to do is move this up to a module position that's 21 00:01:11,020 --> 00:01:15,020 a little bit further up on the page and I'd like to remove the breadcrumb 22 00:01:15,021 --> 00:01:18,021 from the homepage entirely. This module already exists. 23 00:01:18,022 --> 00:01:23,022 So we will edit the existing module. So if I hop into the back end of Joomla! 24 00:01:23,023 --> 00:01:27,023 and I go to Extensions>Module Manager and I go to my Breadcrumbs. 25 00:01:27,024 --> 00:01:32,024 Right now my Breadcrumbs are in position 2 which is called the Breadcrumb position, 26 00:01:32,025 --> 00:01:36,025 but as you saw it was down at the bottom of the page. 27 00:01:36,026 --> 00:01:42,026 I would really like to go someplace else and Top center is at the top 28 00:01:42,027 --> 00:01:45,027 of the content area of the Web page. 29 00:01:45,028 --> 00:01:47,028 I think the breadcrumb will be better placed there. 30 00:01:47,029 --> 00:01:51,029 So I'm going to choose Top center for the breadcrumb instead. 31 00:01:51,030 --> 00:01:54,030 I'd really like this breadcrumb not to show on the home page. 32 00:01:54,031 --> 00:01:59,031 So under Menu Assignment I'm going to choose on all pages except those selected, 33 00:01:59,032 --> 00:02:03,032 select none of these, and then select just the home page. 34 00:02:03,033 --> 00:02:08,033 So I will put the breadcrumb on every page of the Web site, but don't show it on the home page. 35 00:02:08,034 --> 00:02:14,034 Now I am going to Save & Close and when I refresh the homepage of the Web site, 36 00:02:14,035 --> 00:02:17,035 I don't see the breadcrumb anywhere now, which is great. 37 00:02:17,036 --> 00:02:19,036 That's exactly what I wanted. 38 00:02:19,037 --> 00:02:24,037 Now when I go to the About page the breadcrumb is showing up here at the top of the page. 39 00:02:24,038 --> 00:02:28,038 It also happens to be showing the title of that particular module. 40 00:02:28,039 --> 00:02:30,039 That's what that word Breadcrumbs is. 41 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:35,040 By the way, showing the word Breadcrumbs is not terribly helpful, 42 00:02:35,041 --> 00:02:39,041 because Web designers and developers tend to know the term Breadcrumb, but your average 43 00:02:39,042 --> 00:02:41,042 Web surfer certainly doesn't know the word Breadcrumb. 44 00:02:41,043 --> 00:02:44,043 So let's go back and make sure that that is turned off. 45 00:02:44,044 --> 00:02:46,044 So back into the back end of Joomla! 46 00:02:46,045 --> 00:02:51,045 we will go to Breadcrumbs one more time and here where it says Show Title, 47 00:02:51,046 --> 00:02:54,046 we will set that Hide and we will say Save & Close. 48 00:02:54,047 --> 00:02:58,047 You might be wondering why the vbreadcrumb title didn't show when it was down 49 00:02:58,048 --> 00:03:03,048 at the module position down at the bottom of the page, but it is showing here at the top. 50 00:03:03,049 --> 00:03:11,049 That has to do with the type of module chrome is being used with a particular module. 51 00:03:11,050 --> 00:03:15,050 And by module chrome this happens to be the HTML that's wrapped around a module 52 00:03:15,051 --> 00:03:17,051 before it's displayed on a Web page. 53 00:03:17,052 --> 00:03:22,052 This is configurable through the template and I'll cover how you can configure 54 00:03:22,053 --> 00:03:26,053 module chrome in my Joomla! Responsive Templates course. 55 00:03:26,054 --> 00:03:32,054 But for right now you can simply turn on and off the title and that will take 56 00:03:32,055 --> 00:03:35,055 care of any issues that you might have with the title showing when you don't 57 00:03:35,056 --> 00:03:40,056 want to have it showing rather than coding that into the template itself.
