Is this only working within a blog context?

[marnen]

Can you give more detail to your question?

Hiya

So I have a blog with links as such - and the category also being a collection. blog.permalink = "{category}/{title}.html"

When using your breadcrumbs I get -

BLOGTITLE

What I expected was

Crumbs = Link to Cat || BLOGTITLE

Hmm. Are you using middleman-blog? I've never used that extension and know nothing about it, but it's possible that some of the comments on #7 might be relevant.

In particular, note @Jeeppler's statement in https://github.com/marnen/middleman-breadcrumbs/issues/7#issuecomment-200426254:

First the problem is that middleman-blog tag pages don't have parent elements.

There is a workaround offered in that comment, for whatever it's worth. :)

If it is true that middleman-blog tag pages don't have parent elements, then the breadcrumbs plugin will not work out of the box, because it uses the parent element to build the breadcrumbs hierarchy.

I would be happy to make middleman-breadcrumbs work with middleman-blog if we could figure out a logical way of doing so. How would you like it to behave?

Hiya

Yeah just coming to this conclusion now - that there are no parent resource defined, probably because they are proxied after the sitemap creation perhaps?

Noticed this with blog collections also, and then referencing a collection in the url, gonna get messy.

My older attempt was simply to parse the URL string: but has issues with directory indexes on and off that I need to fix - maybe the best solution in this case though

Will play some more and look at his link you sent

OK. If there are modifications you'd like in the breadcrumbs gem to make this work better, please tell me what they are (or make a pull request).
