Breadcrumbs missing from CTGY page

[lesliekirk]

I'm trying to figure out why the Smart Breadcrumbs are missing from the CTGY. I have checked the two obvious things:

Is the token on the template page? - Yes

Is the item assigned to the page? - Yes

The unique thing about this CTGY page is that it doesn't use the default category tree. It uses Power Search filters. The breadcrumbs do work on other pages.

I can't post a link because it's a dev site behind a password protected directory.

HI Leslie,

Is there a conditional in the global header or the breadcrumb item which is checking for the category page and not displaying them?

Conditional as in to not display it?


I discovered on another category template that the breadcrumbs are displaying and it has the category tree assigned to it.

At the same time, I also noticed that the pagination isn't working on the category template that the breadcrumbs are not working on.

Check global headers (User Interface -> Settings -> HEAD Tag Content & also User Interface -> Settings -> Breadcrumbs), some themes have quite a few checks for breadcrumbs there.

Sorry for the delay in my reply. I'm not seeing anything jump out at me. I added the code from the Smart Breadcrumbs to the CTGY Page template and it displays. It doesn't make sense as to why the token in the Global Header isn't.

I even wrapped comments around the token to make triple sure I hadn't put it inside some sort of conditional. I see the comments in the source, just no breadcrumb on the CTGY page

 <!-- BOF Breadcrumbs token -->
<!-- EOF Breadcrumbs token -->

I've even tried unassigning and reassigning the item to the page. This one has me baffled...

and if I replace the token in the Global Header with the code it works. So for now I'm going with the code and ditching the token...

Hmmmm, I tried something to see if it had an affect (based on the question asking me about conditionals)

What is this conditional supposed to do:

<mvt:if expr="NOT (l.settings:page:code CIN g.screenCheck) AND l.settings:page:code NE 'SFNT'">

Doesn't this check to see if the page code is in the screen check and makes sure it's not the SFNT?

If I add this conditional around the breadcrumbs code, the breadcrumbs stop working on the CTGY screen. I went and looked again at the screenCheck

<mvt:assign name="g.screenCheck" value="'ABAL,ACAD,ACED,AFAD,AFCL,AFED,ACLN,BASK,CTGY_FABSTORE,CEML,CPWD,FPWD,GFTL,INVC,LOGN,LOGOUT,OCST,OPAY,OPRC,ORHL,ORDH,ORDL,ORDS,OSEL,OUS1,OUSL,OUSM,PLMT,PRINTP,RGFT,SFNT,SRCH,UATM,UATR,WLAD,WLED,WISH,WLGN,WLST,WPCK'" />

CTGY is not in the list and I am very, very, very sure I am not using the CTGY_FABSTORE. But I started wondering if that underscore was the breaking point. It looks like it may have been in this instance.

Very, very odd because I have used an underscore before in my category codes, then added them to the screenCheck list without any apparent problem. Is this a bug or an expected behavior?

So if it's checking for CTGY in g.screenCheck it's going to find a match because CTGY is in there as part of CTGY_FABSTORE. Try changing the conditional to:

 
 <mvt:if expr="NOT (',' $ toupper(l.settings:page:code) $ ',' IN g.screenCheck) AND l.settings:page:code NE 'SFNT'">

Thanks, Leanne
