View Full Version : No breadcrumbs normally, but yet some at keyword search result page

Hi Smugs, I'm intending to change the existing Smugmug breadcrumbs with my own. To get rid of the existing breadcrumbs you can add this to the CSS customizing field:
#breadcrumb { display: none; }
The problem is that when you do a keyword search, the breadcrumbs have gone there as well. And that means that a visitor doesn't know anymore where he is (that he is on a search result page).

So far about what I wish to do. Here about the why. My site has its own navigation all over the site. The Smugmug breadcrumbs create another, a parallel navigation and that is confusing. By creating my own breadcrumbs I solve that problem. Here you can see my own solution:
http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/gallery/890212/2/40341292
I didn't hide the Smugmug breadcrumbs yet, that's why you still see them on top. That's also why you see the title twice. With the breadcrumbs not displayed the first title is gone as well and the lay-out is perfect. I am in fact happy with this solution.

But as you can see here:
http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/keyword/burmafaces
(a keyword search) it is the Smugmug breadcrumbs that show my website visitor where he is (the result page for a search for the keyword burmafaces). When I do not display Smugmug breadcrumbs anymore, that is gone.

Now this is my question:
After adding #breadcrumb { display: none; } to the CSS, so after getting rid of the Smugmug breadcrumbs, is there a way to put back the breadcrumbs "keywords > burmafaces" at the search result pages. I want only the last two breadcrumbs, showing which keyword was searched for (burmafaces in this case) and that this is a keyword search result page. I don't want to show the first breadcrumb, because that directs the visitor to the Smugmug navigation, which I want to avoid, because I have my own navigation.

To be shorter: I want to get rid of the breadcrumbs, and then put back two of them only on keyword search result pages.

Anyone has an idea how to do that? Thanks, Paul

Bonjour mon ami Paul!

#breadcrumb {display: none;}

.keywordPage #breadcrumb {display: block;}

Andy, what should I do without you!? This is it!:barb
This is why I like so much to be part of Smugmug. I work on my own, create things on my own, but when I walk against a wall I don't feel all alone.

The funny thing is that with what I/we created now, I have arrived as well at the solution for the 'invisible' galleries. You remember? I wanted to be able to have galleries 'that do not show' but whoes photos can be searched by keyword. Well, since the breadcrumbs are gone and replaced by my own, there are no links anywhere to be found anymore to galleries I want to be invisible. I realize I have implemented, in a way, what you had suggested, without knowing it.

As always I have a last question - that's the perfectionist in me - but if there is no answer I'm already perfectly happy with what we achieved until now.

Here you see how my search result page looks now:
http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/keyword/burmafaces

Is there a way I could not show the "Smit & Palarczyk"-part? So it would just show "keywords > burmafaces". The solution may be one where Smit & Palarczyk really isn't shown. Or a dirty trick where they do show up but not in black but in white, making them invisible.

Anyway, here is how the non-search-pages look now.

With my own, new 'breadcrumbs' above them. Do you like it?

If you click on FEATURE in those breadcrumbs or on "Features" in the navigation on top of each page you'll arrive at what has become the Central Station of my new navigation.

Bye, Paul

Hi Andy,

Ah, yes better!

Is there a way that the "keyword >" part is shown as well? The page which all my keywords is not confusing and visitors even use that page sometimes, not for serious searching but for ad hoc surfing.

But if that's not possible, what we have reached now already is really good.

Paul

P.S. Congratulations with the vote, yesterday. :thumb The Senate and the House, that could turn the tide!
