bump!

ok, question, why, if I´m disabling automatic pathways globally, why my menu categories have categories on the breadcrumb?

Hello

item depth parameter is used of current menu item is used,
and if enough pathway depth remains, then the parent categories are appended to the pathways (see popup description of parameter when you edit an FC category menu item)

-- you can set item depth of 5 in your menu items to avoid having the categories appended

Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Any possibility of having this as a global option? :P something like "Global value/Use each menu entry"? :P

Hi!

Any news on this? :P Any chance to have a "turn off all the categories from breadcrumb" or "all menu items start adding categories to bread crumb at level..."

Hello

we have responded to this need with
- automatic pathways
(category TREE path) in category view
(category TREE path + item) in item view
- with depth limit in menu item parameters

about your suggestion of new feature,
you say to enhance automatic pathways?
(thus remove all menu items from pathway)
right?

and start displaying categories at specific level e.g. skip 1st level and display (category TREE path) at level 2

Actually, is more the contrary. Flexicontent adds categories to the path, but usually this behaviour is not very good for my cases. I normally have a menu tree structure that I want to keep on the breadcrumb because that´s the way I have it configured. The automatic pathways remove the menu items and keep the categories on the path, but I want the other way around, keep the menu items and remove the categories :)

If I add the types to the routing plugin, I get this behaviour for single items, and is something manageable (5 types, 10 types.. how big has to be the website to need more than that?) but the categories are a whole different story. I have like 100 categories and I would prefer not having to add them to the plugin :P
