Breadcrumbs

[peterdesmet]

The current website uses breadcrumbs on every page:

The Jekyll website does not.

Reimplementing breadcrumbs is possible, but would require some development work. I would first like to see if they are missed. ☺️

That manual menu system might make up for the lack of breadcrumbs, but I don't know yet how menus are managed and what options we have. What would be frustrating is to be a few levels deep somewhere (e.g., info about a conference, and have no way to back up one or two levels to get to sibling or "cousin" pages except going all the way to the top. But I think we don't need huge depth, and the menus at the top of deeper pages can be customized to provide easy navigation to related pages.

@stanblum this is how menus are managed (example with annotation) https://github.com/peterdesmet/petridish/blob/main/_data/navigation.yml I hope it is rather self explanatory.

Here's the current menu for the Jekyll site: https://github.com/tdwg/website-jekyll/blob/main/_data/navigation.yaml

I will have to pick this up AFTER the filings are done.

@peterdesmet I use the breadcrumbs to go back to the main page. That said, I think the menus can work, mostly, except that we're missing a layer in the menus for the context (e.g., https://tdwg.github.io/website-jekyll/conferences/2022/ has no way to get back to TDWG 2021 or any other year w/o going through the root of tdwg.org

has no way to get back to TDWG 2021 or any other year w/o going through the root of tdwg.org

@gkampmeier that is indeed correct, but that's maybe not too problematic?

[stanblum]

I think Gail might be the only one who routinely does comparisons between conference years; i.e., when building this year's conference, she looks at the past year a lot. One way to get around the loss of breadcrumbs would be to have two tabs/windows open; one to previous year, one to this year. Would that work?

@stanblum and @peterdesmet yeah, that's OK.
