How to remove product name from breadcrumbs / nav trail?

[noesac]

I find it a little redundant, e.g.

 

 

Home > Category > Product Name

 

Product Name

 

 

Since the name is already displayed it's not needed. Anyone know how to remove this?

Hm.. Did not really get what you wanted to say. But breadcrumbs (Home > Category > Product Name) are supposed to work like that and it is a good practice for SEO. I would suggest not to change this.

Hi Richard,

 

This is what I mean:

Since you're displaying the product name under the breadcrumbs anyway, it's redundant and I can't imagine it adding anything to SEO to have it twice (if anything, it might even detract from SEO to be duplicating it)

[Richard S]

In my opinion, you should not change anything and this will definitely be better with SEO and it will not be held as duplicating.

regardless of a discussion of this being good or bad, if you want to change it...

 

ProductController.php adds the path variable to smarty

'path' => Tools::getPath((int)$category->id, $this->product->name, true),

 

But it is the Tools class (Tools::getPath) that creates it. So you can override the Tools class. You just need to confirm what else might use the getPath function, it may be best to create a custom "myGetPath" function, and alter it to your liking.
