Breadcrumbs Incorrect URL Path

Question

Using Joomla 3.9.12 and SP Portfolio v1.7

I have a menu item called Locations, this is a menu item type SP Simple Portfolio » Items

Whenever I visit example.com/locations I can see all my portfolio items, great. If I select one of the portfolio items, e.g. Paris, I am taken to example.com/locations/paris, works as expected.

I have enabled the Joomla breadcrumbs module on this page and it displays;

You are here: Home / Locations / Paris

• Selecting Home successfully takes me to the home page example.com
• Selecting Locations takes me to example.com/locations/items - this page doesn't exist so I get a 404 error.

When I select Locations in the breadcrumbs I want to go to example.com/locations.

No idea where the additional /items URL parameter is coming from, I can't see it configured anywhere in my menu setup.

What do I need to do in order to get this working how I want?

Answer 1

I managed to get this working by editing the (already existing Helix / Joomshaper) override.

After spending a (very!) long time trying to figure out where the /items url parameter was coming from, I gave up and modified the override.

I know this isn't a solution but it solves my problem, and possibly someone else that uses the Helix framework or a Joomshaper template.

Add this code to your-template\html\mod_breadcrumbs\default.php, before the foreach block.

array_walk($list, function (&$v) { 
    if ($v->name == 'Items') $v->link = dirname($v->link); 
});

The breadcrumbs code returns an array with name and link keys. This checks the link and if it contains Items, it will be removed.

Working so far..

That make me crazy and took long time to solve.

Add rtrim($item->link,"items") before class="pathway".

Detail is as follows:

echo '<a href="' . rtrim($item->link,"items") . '" class="pathway">' . $item->name . '</a>';
