Double breadcrumbs - how to remove?

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

I've attached a PDF showing 2 sets of breadcrumbs on our site - the top red rectangle sits in the breadcrumb position. The second rectangle sits above Joomla articles.

When I switch the breadcrumb module off, they both disappear.

My question, How can I just have the one in the breadcrumb position?

Many thanks

Do you have a link for the site?

Are you using the latest version of the template?

Have you customised any of the blocks in the template?

I've not seen this before with this template howeve

Hi Paul,

We've not customised any of the blocks. It appears to me to be set-up in the layout of the page as I can't find the 'breadcrumb' position actually shown in any of the layouts for the template.

We used one of the module positions and assigned it the 'breadcrumbs' position through the template manager.

The default location appears to be above the category/article item.

Thanks for your help
Stuart

Hi Stuart,

Certainly odd I'll get back to you shortly when we've released the update version

Not sure if it will fix the issue but the template version on the site does need to be updated anyway

Hi Paul

Updated to the latest version and no change in the double breadcrumb issue.

This must be coded into the layout somewhere/somehow as I can't find anywhere in the default layouts for the template the position defined.

We defined it in a template layout to use in the top under the logo. The coded version then also appears above articles - which we don't want.

A bit crazy to define a position in the XML and then have no control on where it appears :angry:

Whats the next step - already had to remove one JB module because of issues with Zen tools and IE8 - really don't want to scrap this template because of this!

OK - found the answer

Blocks - main-content.php

Coded into lines 16-22

<!-- MAIN CONTENT -->

<?php if ($this->countModules('breadcrumb')) : ?>
<!-- Banner-slogan -->
<div id="breadcrumb">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="breadcrumb" style="zendefault" />
</div>
<!-- //banner-slogan -->
<?php endif ?>


Removed and all is well in the world again

Hi Stuart,

Are you happy with your solution?

We think you have used a spotlight position which would mean its published twice - once in its proper position which you've removed and the other via spotlight

If you check out the demo site you can see where the breadcrumb position is positioned
