multiple breadcrumbs – amazon style

Breadcrumb NavXT does not natively generate breadcrumbs a la Amazon product breadcrumbs. There are ways of getting it to do that, but they range from being a little hacky, to being a little involved, requiring knowledge of Breadcrumb NavXT and how to extend it gracefully. In the future I may add this as an extension plugin, but don’t count on anything until after May.

Hi John – thanks very much for the reply and an extension would be great at any time.
Do you know of any existing forum posts anywhere that may explain the hacky option ?
I have only 3 hierachies that i want to display breadcrumbs for on all posts so may not be too involved..?

The “simplest”/most hacky solution I can think of is to make multiple unique calls to the bcn_breadcrumb_trail::display() function while manipulating the order that the taxonomy terms that are returned by get_the_terms (see the Order Bender plugin for an example of how to modify this order).

Is there any update John concerning this option, John? It would be a great feature!

With Breadcrumb NavXT 5.4.0, a new filter is being introduced which will ease the implementation of this. That said, I see this feature as a candidate as an extension plugin. This is being tracked by this GitHub issue: https://github.com/mtekk/Breadcrumb-NavXT/issues/141
