We will be changing the way our buttons work (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=106335) shortly, and one of the hacks that some people use to change the breadcrumb will likely not work after we go live with the new stuff.
Good news, however! It's a quick fix to your current javascript to take care of the problem, and you can make the change now (and be that much further ahead of the game when the new buttons come out!).
If you are using any of the various breadcrumb hacks found on DGrin, look for it in your header or footer javascript box in your customization. This one, in particular, changes the breadcrumb to say "Home" instead of your nickname (display name). If you are using this, where it says "nickname" in the below, it will have your own nickname.
For example:
/*============================*/
/*== Change Breadcrumb ==*/
/*============================*/
var objElement = document.getElementById("breadCrumb")
if (objElement != null) {
var str = new String(objElement.innerHTML);
str = str.replace('>nickname<', '>Home<');
objElement.innerHTML = str;
}
The small change that needs to be made is in the first line, the word "breadCrumb". That needs to be changed to "breadCrumbTrail" and all should be well.
So, it would end up like this:
/*============================*/
/*== Change Breadcrumb ==*/
/*============================*/
var objElement = document.getElementById("breadCrumbTrail")
if (objElement != null) {
var str = new String(objElement.innerHTML);
str = str.replace('>nickname<', '>Home<');
objElement.innerHTML = str;
}
If you are using a breadcrumb hack that doesn't look exactly like the above, please check the one you are using to see if you need to change out the word "breadCrumb" for "breadCrumbTrail." There are a lot of variations on the code, so yours may look different.
If you have any questions at all, let us know!
