Hi.

I’ve a page tree to handle a multilingual site:

/  
/it/etc.  
/en/etc.

How can I limit the breadcrumb tag so that it shows the language root  
rather than the whole site root?

(I.e., instead of “My site \> Italian home page \> Altra pagina” or "“My  
site \> English home page \> Other page”, it shows only "“English home  
page \> Other page”).

Thanks in advance.

Luigi

I wrote an extension with some custom tags, including this custom  
breadcrumbs tag. It’s similar to the default one but I added 2  
possible attribute: exclude and rename…and I use it in this way:

\<r:bc:breadcrumbs separator=" \> " exclude=“1” rename=“12=Home” /\>

It excludes the real homepage and rename my “Home ITA” to  
“Home”…this is the code:

tag ‘bc:breadcrumbs’ do |tag|  
pages\_to\_exclude = tag.attr[‘exclude’] ? tag.attr  
[‘exclude’].split(‘,’).collect{|id| id.strip.to\_i} : []  
renames = tag.attr[‘rename’] ? Hash[\*tag.attr[‘rename’].split  
(‘,’).collect{|s| s.split(‘=’).collect{|x| x.strip} }.flatten] : {}  
page = tag.locals.page  
breadcrumbs = renames[page.id.to\_s] ? [renames[page.id.to\_s]] :  
[page.breadcrumb]  
page.ancestors.each do |ancestor|  
label = renames[ancestor.id.to\_s] ? renames  
[ancestor.id.to\_s] : ancestor.breadcrumb  
breadcrumbs.unshift %{#{label}}  
unless pages\_to\_exclude.include?(ancestor.id)  
end  
separator = tag.attr[‘separator’] || ’ \> ’  
breadcrumbs.join(separator)  
end
