Breadcrumb Issue

Hello all,

I have a question about the full breadcrumb path.

If you look at main gallery page on my site - http://www.liquidtravel.org/browse, you will see several galleries listed. If you then click on any of the galleries and look at the breadcrumb, you will notice there is no way to get back to a listing of all my galleries. You can only go back to the homepage. I would like the breadcrumb to allow a viewer to go back to http://www.liquidtravel.org/browse.

Any thoughts on how to make this happen?

thanks so much.

Layne

    Hi Liquidtravel

    What you want is not possible to realize via a breadcrumb - breadcrumbs don't show where you have been before but where your current page is located, and since your Animals gallery for example is not a sub-gallery of your browse-page (and your browse page is strictly spoken not a folder) you wouldn't have a chance to do that.
    Unless - trick 17c - you created a folder "Browseme" (needs to have a different name than browse / Browse or you get in trouble with the smug mug reserved words) and would recreate the original browse page on that folders page. You would then of course have to change the browse-link to your new Browseme-folder.

    So the only other way I could come up with right now would be to add a link onto the bottom of your galleries (by HTML-block adding) that would take you back to your original browse page or to go back like the back-button of your browser does, but for this you need JavaScript which you cannot use on Smugmug.

    Good luck

    OK, thank you. That was what I was afraid of.

    If the browse page is throwing things off, just don't use it. Your menu can easily take visitors straight to your folders or galleries instead of the browse page. It might be less confusing that way.

    Hi Layne,
    i decide to create a "Browse" page in my site and i put this one on my menu list ( " Home" ).
    My goal was to put inside this "Browse" page ALL important things from my site and easy for visitors to back on this one by clicking the "Home" menu .....
    look here :

    Perhaps try something like this ?
    take care

    Thank you Yan. Beautiful photos by the way. I don't think I understand however. When I view your site and go to "Home" - http://www.yannicklefevre.com, I only see a few images. If I click on "Browse" in your menu, I view the page you are talking about. Did you change it?

    I was thinking creating a custom page that show all galleries instead of the "Browse" page created by Smugmug. I will let you know if that works.

    thanks again.
