Aapo, would you be so kind as to explain how to implement this for us new to SharePoint development? Specifically, where does the first block of code you provide? And what about the second? I think others have posted similar comments asking for this, would appreciate your guidance.

Hi There,

This article doesn’t provide enough guidance on how to implement these changes. Please provide more information on how to create the user control. where the code goes. Is VS required? What needs to be in SPD?

Thank you,

One solution is to use jQuery and move/copy the 2010 default breadcrumb from dropdown menu and the fly-out -menu from titlearea to somewhere else. This is the easiest solution, if the only access is Sharepoint Designer and browser… Of course the solution from Aapo is more customizable and better for developers, who are familiar with Visual Studio and have access with Sharepoint hive.

Sorry one more, I have tried this.. this breadcrumb is really the trail that I want.

How can I get the document fly out menu to work with this breadcrumb?

Thanks

Hi..the sharepoint 2010 breadcrumb is killing me. I can't get the masterpage to display the full breadcrumb AND with the flyout menu (like in document library).. I am having trouble find some good example for this. Do you have any ideas? I have used this, I think I copied it out from the original and edited it, but it rendered out duplicates of links its weird.. I need it to be like this: Home > current site collection > subsite > document library > all documents (fly out menu) Home Please help! ;-(

Kalle and Janey,

I have to re-try this with 2010, maybe things have changed a little bit. Kalle when I said it doesn’t work, I meant that it doesn’t render correct breadcrumb items. It renders breadcrumb, but not the breadcrumb that it should. I will come back to this after I have tested the different options in SP2010. This article was originally written for 2007.

In 2010 they have this PopoutMenu breadcrumb with SharePoint:ListSiteMapPath that has by default these providers: SiteMapProviders=”SPSiteMapProvider,SPContentMapProvider”.

Well… they gave us new top navigation and quick launch data providers, maybe they did something to breadcrumb too in 2010.

Kalle,

I am using SharePoint 2010 with the publishing feature activated. The code you list is exactly the code I am using after trying many other things. It works better than most, but it still does not cover all the 3 different items that Aapo lists.

Example: I have a left nav set up for Discussion Boards as one of the items. When the user clicks on Discussion Boards, the breadcrumb just shows to the site name, and does not include Discussion Boards. If I drill down further to a particular discussion, then that particular discussion name will appear in the breadcrumb.

And I’d love to get rid of the aggravating “Home” that appears in the breadcrumb for any site or subsite home. WTF were they thinking when they put that in there?

Well, as I have tested, it works on all those three pagetypes. This is the situation in SharePoint 2010 with publishing feature activated. I’m not saying your coding is wrong, I’m just pointing that “a single breadcrumb for all SharePoint pages” can be accomplished a little bit easier way.
