Bummer! statement from eshop author:

Posted on July 2, 2009 at 11:44 am in
Many people have been contacting me saying there may be issues with eShop and WordPress 2.8. Looking through the issues reported with WP2.8 I have decided to delay updating eShop until after WP 2.8.1 is released. As soon as I can after that I will make any necessary changes to get things working again.

looks WP 2.8 is messing up other carts too.

Any other solutions, anything that works with 2.8?

Urgh. Upgraded to 2.8, tried about 6 navigation plugins, tried a tutorial on grabbing the grandparent from page id, like that. Nothing works so I’m back to the above code.

There are only 2 issues:
– doesn’t show parent category on a post, only grandparents. I can live with this

– shows “no categories” in an area that isn’t as deep as the other areas

I’d like to either get rid of the message OR conditionally hide the category listing in the one slim area.

I’m going to change to a page for that slim area for now, until it expands to more categories. Still seems funny this functionality isn’t built into wordpress yet. someday!

this shows a link back to parent page.

<?php
   if (!empty($post->post_parent)) {
    $parentTitle = get_the_title($post->post_parent);?>
  <a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->post_parent); ?>" title="<?php echo $parentTitle; ?>">Back to <?php echo $parentTitle; ?></a>
  <?php } ?>

Unfortunately I can’t delete it from the template, since there are a lot of categories on the site.

I tried adding echo=0 like this:
orderby=id&show_count=0&echo=0&exclude=4,6,20

but it didn’t have any effect. “No categories” still displays.

You’re right — I’ve been trying so many things I forget what’s been done. This is the Breadcrumb Trail plugin by Justin Tadlock. It’s customized to show &raquo between links, and to show “home” with a lowercase h to match the rest. There isn’t an option for skipping the home page.

I tried wrapping it in variations of this:

<?php
if ( is_page('home')) {
echo '';
} else
echo '<p class="breadcrumbs">'
<?php if ( function_exists( 'breadcrumb_trail' ) ) {
breadcrumb_trail( array( 'separator' => '»' , 'before' => '','show_home' => __('home', 'breadcrumb_trail') ) );
}
?>
echo '</p>';
}
?>

But it didn’t work.

Since I’m calling a unique body id for each page, I’ll just set up css to display:none on this <p>.
Should have thought of that earlier! Silly sleepy brain.

Might what was i trying would work if I knew programming? Or because this is an “if” statement it wouldn’t combine with another “if” statement?
