1 - I decided I was smart and changed the http://data-vocabulary.org references to use my domain url. Wrong, dont do it, leave it as is, it works and is not just someone elses domain.

2 - a href="{vb:raw nav_url}" does not work as described, the microdata url only appends the actual page spidered url to the url also in the address bar.

IE: your threads and catagory links will look like this in microdata,...
/threads/thread....
/forum/forums....

Dead 404's, not good.

instead use this,... href="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/{vb:raw nav_url}"

To make this mod work out of the box, use this code replacement which requires no editing to work on your forum no matter the url or sub directory location...

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['breadcrumb']">

<span itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb">

    <li class="navbit"><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/{vb:raw nav_url}" itemprop="url"><span itemprop="title">{vb:raw nav_title}</span></a></li>

</span>

<vb:else />

<span itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb">

    <li class="navbit lastnavbit"><span><span itemprop="title">{vb:raw nav_title}</span></span></li>

</span>

</vb:if>

This is tested on my site and Google microdata test site.
Includes any necessary changes needed through this thread.

So should id use this code or the code from the op?

Any idea for stars in serps with vbulletin?

possible but it has some errors
Example link
Here

I think for 3.8 it will be

Code:

<if condition="$show['breadcrumb']">

<div itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb">

        <span class="navbar" itemprop="title">&gt; <a href="$nav_url" itemprop="url">$nav_title</a></span></div>

<else />

        $nav_title

</if>

This works great with @Smirkley's code. Many thanks!

I tried it on my vb4, but it didn't work even with the test tool by google. I guess we need a fix for this. Thanks

does this work in vB 4.2?

Testing on our site - looks good so far - thanks.

For reference, the original code that belongs in -> Navbar_Link is as follows (in case anyone needs to revert back) - for vB4.2.2 pl.1

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['breadcrumb']">

        <li class="navbit"><a href="{vb:raw nav_url}">{vb:raw nav_title}</a></li>

<vb:else />

        <li class="navbit lastnavbit"><span>{vb:raw nav_title}</span></li>

</vb:if>
