Is there a way to limit the amount of characters displayed by breadcrumb?

For instance, making breadcrumb end with (….) after x number of characters. This is useful because for long titles and smaller template width, breadcrumbs titles get cut of and this is not professional.

thanks!

Go this File pluginssystemjat3base-themesdefaulthtmlmod_breadcrumbsdefault.php

Replace the following code

$name = $title;
With

$name = substr($title,0 , 20);

you can change 20 in the above code with your needed count.

That code is different. Please see below

[PHP]<?php
/**
* @version $Id: default.php 18334 2010-08-05 14:03:31Z infograf768 $
* @package Joomla.Site
* @subpackage mod_breadcrumbs

*/

// no direct access
defined(‘_JEXEC’) or die;
?>
<span class=”breadcrumbs<?php echo $params->get(‘moduleclass_sfx’); ?> pathway”>
<?php if ($params->get(‘showHere’, 1))
{
echo ‘<strong>’.JText::_(‘MOD_BREADCRUMBS_HERE’).'</strong>’;
}
?>
<?php for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i ++) :

// If not the last item in the breadcrumbs add the separator
if ($i < $count -1) {
if (!empty($list[$i]->link)) {
echo ‘<a href=”‘.$list[$i]->link.'” class=”pathway”>’.$list[$i]->name.'</a>’;
} else {
echo $list[$i]->name ;
}
if($i < $count -2){
echo ‘ ‘.$separator.’ ‘;
}
} else if ($params->get(‘showLast’, 1)) { // when $i == $count -1 and ‘showLast’ is true
if($i > 0){
echo ‘ ‘.$separator.’ ‘;
}
echo $list[$i]->name;
}
endfor; ?>
</span>
[/PHP]

Ok then

Do the following in the source code you have attached

Replace this code on where ever you see in that file


echo $list[$i]->name


With


echo substr($list[$i]->name,0 , 20);
