How to use breadcrumbs to help users navigate your site

Documentation > Commands > BreadCrumbs

You can use the "BreadCrumbs" command embedded in your article text to create nicely formatted multiple links to other articles at the top of an article.

The simplest way to use the BreadCrumbs command is:

[BreadCrumbs:]

This will insert a sensible bread crumbs chain at the top of the article, based on the section of the site and the article title.

If you require more detailed control, the format of the BreadCrumbs command is:

[BreadCrumbs:label 1,link 1,label 2,link 2,...,label n,link n]

There is no limit to the number of labels and links and the final link is optional - if there isn't one, the last item in the list will just be the label which won't be a link.

The example shown above would display at the top of the article as:

Label 1 > Label 2 > ... > Label n

with Label 1 being a link to link 1, Label 2 being a link to link 2 etc.

For example you might insert this on the homework policy article to easily navigate a list of links to school policies on a parents page:
[BreadCrumbs:Parents,/parents,Policies,/parents/23,Homework Policy]
which would appear at the top of the homework article page like this:
Parents > Policies > Homework Policy

"Parents" would be a link to the Parents main section page (/parents), "Policies" would be a link to article number 23 with the parents section menu highlighted (/parents/23) and "Homework Policy" would not be a link but would just be an indicator that the current page was showing the homework policy.
