I’m having a strange problem in customising the JAt3 blank template.

I want to use the “breadcrumbs” module position towards the bottom of the page to hold a custom HTML module.
(I’ve placed my breadcrumbs in the top panel module position)

I create the module, I select the position as “breadcrumbs” — nothing shows up.

Also I want to get rid of the existing breadcrumbs from the breadcrumbs module position and I can’t find the module that controls them.

All of the other positions on the template work ie I can add custom modules in the positions I want.

Any ideas?

You replace the code from /plugins/system/jat3/jat3/base-themes/default/blocks/navhelper.php

<div class="ja-breadcrums">
<jdoc:include type="module" name="breadcrumbs" />
</div>

with


<?php if($this->countModules('breadcrumbs')) : ?>
<div class="ja-breadcrums">
<jdoc:include type="module" name="breadcrumbs" />
</div><?php endif; ?>

Thank you. Your solution half worked. It takes away the breadcrumbs, but when I create a custom HTML module and give it the position of “breadcrumbs” it does not display.

Any ideas?

It’s strange. Could you give me username+password of your backend? I will check it

Unfortunately I can’t, it is on a staging server and I’m not permitted to allow access.

Does your solution work at your end? Maybe I’ve altered something in the template files previously that would prevent it displaying a custom module in the “breadcrumbs” position. Can’t think what though.

Thanks for your assistance.

I’ve worked it out. I changed Khoand’s code from:

<blockquote><?php if($this->countModules(‘breadcrumbs’)) : ?>
<div class=”ja-breadcrums”>
<jdoc:include type=”module” name=”breadcrumbs” />
</div><?php endif; ?></blockquote>

To:
<blockquote><?php if($this->countModules(‘breadcrumbs’)) : ?>
<div class=”ja-breadcrums”>
<jdoc:include type=”module” name=”custom” />
</div><?php endif; ?></blockquote>

Which I guess means the PHP code is calling for a “custom html” module not the “breadcrumbs” module. Which I’m sure is what you meant Khoand – thanks again.:)
