I have a page where nodes are categorized using a base taxonomy (let's say "species" -> animal -> mammal -> ape).
- I want to override taxonomy pages with panels
- I also want to make sure all nodes get a nice breadcrumb based on the default taxonomy
I have solved #1 and #2 successfully separately, but cannot get them to play together.
For #1 the best solution I have found is activating "Taxonomy term template" in /admin/build/pages). An excellent guide can be found at http://drupaleasy.com/blogs/ultimike/2010/10/taxonomy-term-pages-steroids-using-panels-views
For #2 both the Custom Breadcrumbs module (with the Custom Taxonomy Breadcrumb sub module) and the Taxonomy Breadcrumbs. Unfortunately both methods hijack the same hook used by #1 and in doing so disables #1.
How can I achieve both goals simultaniously? Thanks a lot!
For #2, you can use Custom Breadcrumbs. I'm not sure about version 6.x-1.x, but I can confirm that 6.x-2.0 works fine. What you need to do is to:
However, the custom breadcrumb is built after the panels, so you can't actually use it in the panel. But you can print it in page.tpl.php, outside the panel.
EDIT:
Seems like Custom Breadcrumbs for Panels had nothing to do with it :)
It just displayed a very misleading text on the config page ("Use taxonomy breadcrumbs for panels"). After some more research, it turned out that it works when
panels
had a smaller weight thencustom_breadcrumbs_taxonomy
(see tablesystem
in the database).If you really want to display the breadcrumbs in panels, you can do that using this (hack-ish) method:
(note: my panel is of type page, it's in the
content
section)
