Breadcrumb Question - Hack??
 

I'm wondering If I need a hack in order to make the category links in the breadcrumb disappear or to be an inactive link? Here is what I mean:

My users are getting confused when they click on the category link and end up on a page with just the links that are sub forums of the category. I have a lot of users that are very new to computers and anything I can do to make it less confusing is a good thing. Thanks in advance.

I think you may need to edit one of these in your templates.....i am not sure though.

navbar [change original]
nav_joiner [change original]
nav_linkoff [change original]
nav_linkon [change original]

I was looking at those and it seems like I can't modify those without disabling the whole breadcrumb. Is there a way to modify them without disabling them all?

Not sure bro, just recently got vB.....

Umm, try this site: http://www.vbulletintemplates.com/mods/

I'm 99.9% sure they'd be able to help you out ;)

This is easy :)

In your 'nav_linkon' template replace the whole of it with this:

That almost did it, but it actually disabled all of the bread crumb except the main page. Here is a picture of what I am shooting for. I suspect that it may have to be done as a hack instead of a template mod. Hmm...I really need to lear PHP. I bought a book, I just havn't read it yet :paranoid:. Thanks in advance

It's not in the template, it's in the relevant PHP files eg. showthread.php or forumdisplay.php (and other ones with the same). You need to find this code in these files:

And remove the URL at the end of that line. That should do it.

This is in the forumdisplay.php. Which part should I delete. will this make only the first level forums (ie categories) become a non-link but leave the deeper levels intact? Thanks for helping, I appreciate it.
