Before you find out what this mod does, you need to have some knowledge of Microdata.

Now its time to take advantage of this wonderful feature; and we will label our breadcrumbs to describe it's type to Google for better understanding and to presenting your site better in Google search result.

In order add microdata tags in our breadcrumb here is what we need to do:

Step 1:

Find and Replace everything in navbar_link template with the following code:

<vb:if condition="$show['breadcrumb']">
<div itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb">
    <li class="navbit"><a href="{vb:raw nav_url}" itemprop="url"><span itemprop="title">{vb:raw nav_title}</span></a></li>
</div>
<vb:else />
<div itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb">
    <li class="navbit lastnavbit"><span><span itemprop="title">{vb:raw nav_title}</span></span></li>
</div>
</vb:if>

Step 2:

Hit Save button !!

And That's it you are done. Now you just have to wait until Google show your website in search result like this:

Nope due to some reason they are not showing up when links are indexed

Just in case that someone wants to use lower breadcrumb (mod made by Lynne), this would cause problem with this template modification, as there would be two breadcrumbs and thus double information.

So I hide lower breadcrumb from guests (and Google and other search engines). All members can see and benefit from lower breadcrumb and they use site more actively.

Anyway, if someone want to use this two together, here's the link to modified Lynne's mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=234

Not sure if one of my plugins/mods is screwing this up but when I use either the OP's code or the code that was suggested in this post

Using either code I get an error in google markup validator:


Obviously this is because the last breadcrumb is not a link. Not wanting any scary google errors I just shortened up navbar_link to make each breadcrumb a link and now no more errors.

<div itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb">
    <li class="navbit"><a href="{vb:raw nav_url}" itemprop="url"><span itemprop="title">{vb:raw nav_title}</span></a></li>
</div>

If someone thinks this is a bad idea, let me know
