Change Breadcrumb --> my name to "Home"

Buttermaker · June 2, 2008

I'd like to change my breadcrumb so that the index doesn't say "Rob Spence" but rather "Home"

Any way to do that?

Change your first or last name to "Home" and then display that.. it's in control panel, settings tab

Thanks again Andy.
So is the Name in the Account Settings used for anything else?
Am I going to get emails addressed to "Home Spence" now?

Cheers.

No, your emails will go to the email address we've got on file for you

I think the name is also used for credit card processing. When I signed up I had to change my name back to my name so it would take my credit card. Maybe there should be another field called "Name on Credit Card".

I do exactly what Andy suggests... changed my first name to Home. I still haven't figured out why my name would indicate my homepage in the breadcrumb. Makes sense on flickr, but not on my site with my custom domain name.

It works, but it looks retarded in a few places... like "search in: Home's photos." Separate topic, but I would also like to be able to remove "all smugmug photos" from the search results on my site.

I've also changed my first name to 'home' which is fine except for when you use your 'share' link to send an email to people from one of your galleries it says the email is coming from "home johnson" for example -

Hopefully this is one of minor tweaks you make to the site in the coming months - being able to replace your first name with another name, such as home, for your breadcrumbs without affecting other things.

Take a look at this post. It seems to be possible with a little Javascript...

If you are modifying your Breadcrumb, you may want to take a look at this post:

You may need to change your Javascript to act on 'breadCrumbTrail' instead of 'breadcrumb'.
