Breadcrumb widget

Overview

You use the Breadcrumb widget to display the path to the current page. This helps your users to navigate the website and to understand where the page they are looking at is located.

Configure the breadcrumb view

To configure the Breadcrumb widget:

  1. Click the Edit button in the upper-right corner of the widget.
    The Edit window is displayed.

  2. Under What to include in the breadcrumb, choose one of the following radio buttons:
    • Full path to the current page
      The system displays the full path to the current page, starting from the homepage.
    • Path starting from a specific page...
      The system displays the path from a selected page to the current page.
      • Click the Select a page button.
      • Select a page from the selector and click Done selecting.
        You must select a page that is a parent of the current page.
  3. Choose whether you want to:
    • Show Home page link
      Displays the home page at the beginning of the breadcrumb.
    • Show Current page in the end of the breadcrumb
      This displays the current page as a link at the end of the breadcrumb.
    • Show Group pages in the breadcrumb
      A group page is a container for pages and does not have its own content. It redirects to its first child page.

Advanced settings

In the Advanced settings, you specify individual properties of the widget, that is, the TemplateName. The template name gets the template you chose in the Breadcrumb template dropdown menu.
