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:

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
