A good breadcrumb does not wrap a link about the currently active item.
Is there any way to unlink the news index breadcrumb? Any other function I can use for that instead of printNewsIndexURL()

Index[link] » News [link] » My second page [no-link]

Index[link] » News [no-link]

`

"> »

[b]


[/b]

Uhm? how about gettext('news')????

I'm not sure what the issue is, the default breadcrumb from zenpage theme does just that. What theme are you using?

Here's the default zenpage breadcrumb for the image page:

If you refer to the default zenpage theme it does exactly what you're asking for.

@ sbillard when I use gettext('news') it's what I want on the [i]News[/i] index page, but there is no link wrapped around it when I go one level deeper.

@ micheall it does that for the [i]Image[/i] pages yes but not for [i]News[/i]. I checked all other themes that ship with ZP and all of them wrap a link on around the [i]News[/i] index.
The printParentBreadcrumb() function says:

Quote:Prints the breadcrumb navigation for album, gallery and image view
So not for News..

The gallery index url link is added statically before it. If you don't want it you can add an if/else to disable the link to just print "news". The link generally servers as the "news index" link (news page 1 link) so you can easily jump to the first page for futher ones.

Ah it's not easy to explain but I think you got me acrylian.
An if/else statement is exactly my thought.. but how?
How can I state we are on the index page?

if (this_page_is_the_news_index) { echo "[b]" . gettext('News') . "[/b]"; } else { printNewsIndexURL(gettext('News')); }

Try
if(is_NewsPage() && !is_NewsArticle() && !is_NewsCategory()) { ... ) else { ... }

Aha! That will work.
Great. Thanks acrylian!
