In the Layouts editor

  1. The breadcrumb template block of Header / Footer (inside a Column with background primary) stays.

With templates

  1. Copy extension/sevenx_themes_media/design/media/templates/pagelayout/breadcrumbs.tpl to extension/mysite/design/media/templates/pagelayout/breadcrumbs.tpl.
  2. Change the markup; it reads the path from $path_array, which pagelayout.tpl builds from the page's ancestors.
  3. Clear Template & content and check a page that uses it.

Which to choose

Templates.

  • Every page shows the new breadcrumb.
