[Product-Developers] How do I change the breadcrumbs for a custom template?

Mon Dec 24 04:09:22 UTC 2007

Hi Mark,

Just a suggestion, which will *hopefully* resolve this issue for you (if
you haven't tried it already):

Ensure the page is defined as a selectable view for say 'Page' and then
you can click the display dropdown and select your defined page
template. This should ensure you don't break the breadcrumbs.

To setup your custom template as a selectable view for Page using
GenericSetup, do something like this in your product:
e.g. profile/types/Document.xml ->  <property name="view_methods"
purge="False">
<element value="my_chosable_view"/>

If you're not developing a custom product (i.e. using ZopeSkel or
DIYPloneStyle) you can go into portal_types and add your custom template
under the view_methods property. Then create a new 'page' in the root of
your site and select your template as the 'display' view.

HTH,
Tim
