[SOLVED] Count breadcrumbs in navbar_link

[hilaryl]

I am adding schema.org markup to the breadcrumbs in the 'navbar_link' template, and one attribute it requires is the breadcrumb position. So each breadcrumb will have:

<meta itemprop="position" content="X" />

Where X is equal to the breadcrumb count.

The count needs to increment with each new breadcrumb.

The navbar_link template doesn't use a foreach statement, instead it's done through the functions.php file, so I can't seem to increment the number in the navbar_link template.

How can I increment a variable across the breadcrumbs?

SOLVED

Turns out I'm a vBulletin master and solved this with logic!

There was already a $counter variable in the functions.php code, so I just created a plugin that hooked into the function, and then registered the $counter as a new variable.

Hook Location: navbits
Plugin PHP Code:

$breadcounter = $counter;
vB_Template::preRegister('navbar_link', array('breadcounter' => $breadcounter));

Then add {vb:raw breadcounter} into the navbar_link template.
