I was integrating breadcrumbs into a site I am currently building and figured I would share the code I used to make it possible.
This project uses a MODULAR layout, so theres no solutions out there that helped me out. I wanted it to display cleanly, without displaying things like ‘default’ as the module name, and not to display a breadcrumb if it was the home page (ie. default module, index controller, index action).
Basically it is a view helper that you call, and it fetches everything for you.
Some things to know. It pulls ’siteurl’ from the Zend_Registry, you can change this if you want, well you can change anything you want, it’s nothing special, but it may help someone out there.
Just add this viewhelper
<?php

class ViewHelpers_BreadCrumb {
public function breadCrumb() {
$module = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRequest()->getModuleName();
$l_m = strtolower($module);
$controller = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRequest()->getControllerName();
$l_c = strtolower($controller);
$action = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRequest()->getActionName();
$l_a = strtolower($action);
// HomePage = No Breadcrumb
if($l_m == 'default' && $l_c == 'index' && $l_a == 'index'){
return;
}
// Get our url and create a home crumb
$url = Zend_Registry::get('siteurl');
$homeLink = "<a href='{$url}/'>Home</a>";
// Start crumbs
$crumbs = $homeLink . " > ";
// If our module is default
if($l_m == 'default') {
if($l_a == 'index'){
$crumbs .= $controller;
} else {
$crumbs .= "<a href='{$url}/{$controller}/'>$controller</a> > $action";
}
} else {
// Non Default Module
if($l_c == 'index' && $l_a == 'index') {
$crumbs .= $module;
} else {
$crumbs .= "<a href='{$url}/{$module}/'>$module</a> > ";
if($l_a == 'index') {
$crumbs .= $controller;
} else {
$crumbs .= "<a href='{$url}/{$module}/{$controller}/'>$controller</a> > $action";
}
}
}
return $crumbs;
}
}
