Wrong breadcrumb on tag-sites was created by burnyourears

Hi,

I noticed something strange concerning the breadcrumbs on my tag-sites. The category / origin of the crumb is sometimes right, often wrong … it seems like random. But the thing ist – I don't want to show the category anyway.

On tag-sites I just want to show a breadcrumb category "Tags" instead. Like this: Home > Tags > ...

How could I do that? (I mean I cannot build a new category site for every tag in a hidden menue ... ;-) )

Or ... a good alternative would be to switch off breadcrumbs on tag-sites completely. But how could I do that? (I cannot address something like a "tag-site" in the modul-settings to switch it off there because there simply isn't any ...)

Thank you for any help :-)

Create a menu item in K2 pointing to all categories. Give it a generic name, e.g. "Content" and alias (content).

Clean your site's cache and check again.

Ok, i did that – now the breadcrumbs are fully shown but the problem stays the same: On the tag-sites there's some kind of random categories in the breadcrumb ... ? Here an example: www.burnyourears.de/tag/metallica.html

Why is it the category "news"? Why can't it be the category "tags"? (Or no breadcrumb at all ...?)
> Adding another point: There is no headline on these sites. And the title tag is not "Tags for Metallica" or something that would make sense here, but "Rock and Metal News" = the (wrong) category from the breadcrumb.

Strange... ;-)

Why not try the K2 breadcrumbs feature in the K2 Tools module?

The path you see there is basically the path you followed to get to that page. That's one of the visual/structural bugs that K2 has solved ages ago over standard Joomla content (in Joomla, if you navigate e.g. from the frontpage to an article which has no direct menu item, the menu item ID remains the same - that of the frontpage).

Well, I actually tried that .. with an even worse result (the tag is not mentioned anymore) :-(
See in the screenshot both modules activated – the first one is the k2 tool, the second is joomla.

Hmmm.

It seems to show the site name there when it should be showing the tag name.

What K2 version are you using?

There is no change that could affect breadcrumbs in that version. My guess is that it all boils down to your menu setup. Otherwise my suggestion to "Create a menu item in K2 pointing to all categories. Give it a generic name, e.g. "Content" and alias (content)." would show a different path in the breadcrumbs function of the K2 Tools module.

Ok, I did the simplest thing possible – I took the tag.php to edit the title tag and the h1. All I need is some help to fetch the related tag on the site. Here's the code for the title tag:

<?php
$safe 		= array("'");
$nonsafe 	= array("&#039;");
$safemeta 	= str_replace( $nonsafe, $safe, $this->item->title);
$newtitle   = ($safemeta . 'Artikel&uuml;bersicht');
$document   = JFactory::getDocument();
$document->setTitle($newtitle);
?>

Which code do I need to readout the related tag?

It should look like this:

$newtitle = ($safemeta . 'Artikelübersicht zu TAG');

And I want to modify the headline also:

<h1>Artikelübersicht zu TAG</h1>

Thanks for help :-)

First, see how K2 MVC overrides are done: getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates

The file you want to edit is "tag.php".

Yes I know - and I already did that the way it is described :-)

I just want to know how to get the "tag" into the site, for example into the h1. Something like

<?php if($this->params->get('show_tag')): ?>

???

Ok, I try to explain it in other words – I'm struggling with the TAG page (the page that shows all the posts with the selected tag):

I want to display the name of the active tag (on this site -> tag.php) but couldn't do that, i was trying to fetch it with:

<?php echo $this->escape($this->params->get('page_title')); ?>

This didn't work, it just shows the name of the site ... and not the name of the tag.

How can I display the active tag as part of my h1?

Try this:

<?php echo $this->params->get('page_title_clean'); ?>

Worse case scenario:

<?php echo JRequest::getString('tag'); ?>

Thank you so much – that did the job for me! :-)

Can I place it as the title-tag, too? Can you tell me what to do here with it?

$newtitle   = ($safemeta . 'Artikel&uuml;bersicht');

(The complete code I use to set the title tag:)

<?php
$safe 		= array("'");
$nonsafe 	= array("&#039;");
$safemeta 	= str_replace( $nonsafe, $safe, $this->item->title);
$newtitle   = ($safemeta . 'Artikel&uuml;bersicht');
$document   = JFactory::getDocument();
$document->setTitle($newtitle);
?>

Ok, I figured it out by myself – here's the code to set the title tag of the tag.php:

<?php
$safe 		= array("'");
$nonsafe 	= array("&#039;");
$safemeta 	= str_replace( $nonsafe, $safe, $this->item->title);
$newtitle   = ($this->params->get('page_title_clean') .  ' | My Site Name');
$document   = JFactory::getDocument();
$document->setTitle($newtitle);
?>

Please correct me if I am wrong, but it works on my site.
Thank you for your kind help!

"$this->params->get('page_title_clean')" will return a filtered title either way, so you probably don't need the first 3 lines of code (unless you use it elsewhere in the code and you didn't include it in your snippet).

Other than that, it looks fine.
