Hello Mark,

You will need to create a menu item for each of the category in your EasyDiscuss and put them as a child menu items of your 'forum'

+ forum
+ + category one
+ + category two

Hope this help and have a nice day

It does help, thanks!

What menu types should these be? EasyDiscuss categories, or Joomla categories?

Hemmo Mark H,

You can use Easydiscuss categories to create this breadcrumbs.
May I know are you using Joomla breadcrump or mod_easydiscuss_navigation.zip?

Hope this will help.
Thanks.

I've used both and that helps a lot.

I must be honest though, you guys really need to look at the out of the box navigation in EasyDiscuss. I know it isn't officially promoted as a forum, but it seems to me that is how the majority of us, including you yourselves are using it!

I've seen many posts from users asking questions about navigation and I see on the new site that you have gone down the custom route. Maybe this is something you, Mark and the team can look at? Perhaps make a 'Traditional Forum' theme?

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your feedback and your suggestion. I will definitely pass your message to the team
As for the traditional forum theme, i not sure if this is possible or not because EasyDiscuss wasn't designed to be a 'forum' platform. Of course you can customise EasyDiscuss to look like one ( just like us ) but the engine is still a QuestionAndAnswer platform

Hope this help and have a nice day

EasyBlog and EasyDiscuss have the same problem - no route back to the parent category - unless backspace or the Joomla Breadcrumbs module is used, the latter being the only real option to cover all components in case EasySocial or others have the same issue.

It works very well if you place the module in a position just below the main menu (navhelper for the T3 Framework is the one I use).

You may also need to adjust the default background colour of the breadcrumbs as well as the framework/template to make it blend in correctly by adjusting in the custom.css file.

It will be different colours for people using different templates, but for Purity 3 on T3 Framework this is the adjustment to blend in with the white background:

.breadcrumb {

background-color: #fff;

}



.t3-navhelper {

background: #fff;

padding: 0;

}

Note: The t3-navhelper padding is also changed, from 5px to 0, to remove a gap (between blocks) that would appear on any pages the module is not used - for example, the home page.

The image below shows the result (apply to any menu and remove 'Home' if you wish):

Hello Richard,

Thanks for sharing.
