MENU BREADCRUMBS ================ Introduction ------------ The Drupal 7 version of this module implemented the Drupal 6 behaviour of using the menu position of the current page for the breadcrumb. It also added an option to append the page title to the breadcrumb (either as a clickable url or not), saving the trouble of doing this in the theme, and hiding the breadcrumb if it only contained the link to the front page. The Drupal 8 version also supports "Taxonomy Attachment" for each menu, which provides the same breadcrumb trail to the current page as to a taxonomy of which it is a member: effectively giving menu based breadcrumbs to items that aren't on a menu (e.g., blog entries). Effectively these are "attached" to the breadcrumb trail by taxonomy membership, inheriting the breadcrumbs of their taxonomy. Options in the Drupal 8 version therefore also include the ability to add the current page title, linked or not, as an additional breadcrumb when a taxonomy attachment has taken place. More detailed options are given for dealing with the front page, allowing it to be added or removed. Installation & Upgrading - RECOMMENDED -------------------------------------- Follow current instructions on this Drupal documentation page to install Menu Breadcrumb as a site dependency and upgrade it along with other site dependencies (as well as Drupal Core itself): https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/using-composer/using-composer-to-manage-drupal-site-dependencies IF YOU SEE AN ERROR PAGE similar to the following after up- or down-grading the module: TypeError: Argument passed to Drupal\menu_breadcrumb\MenuBasedBreadcrumbBuilder::__construct() ... ... you probably just need to rebuild the cache between two versions that use different argument lists (i.e. system services). See here for how to rebuild cache: https://www.drupal.org/docs/user_guide/en/prevent-cache-clear.html Installation & Upgrading - without Composer ------------------------------------------- Installation, on older Drupal versions & sites: 1. Copy the menu_breadcrumb folder to your modules/contrib directory. 2. At Administer -> Extend (admin/modules) enable the module. 3. Configure the module settings at Administer -> Configuration -> User Interface (admin/config/user-interface/menu-breadcrumb). Upgrading on older Drupal versions & sites: Recommended: install drush and run "drush up" Manually: replace the older menu_breadcrumb folder with the newer version; then run "update.php" if present (to install any configuration changes). Since different versions of the module may use different services, if you see errors: - Try clearing the cache, which fixes breacrumb on taxonomy pages (since this module's breadcrumb builder needs to be acknolwedged as higher priority). - Clearing the cache (at least the router cache) should clear up messages about any services missing (known issue upgrading beta1 to beta2). - If all else fails, try uninstalling & reinstalling the module. Features -------- - For a high-level description, see the Drupal 8 Help screen for this module. - All other features are described by each checkbox on the Configuration page, and in the notes on the re-orderable menu list below.
