Breadcrumbs on home page

[digilee]

This is crazy! I simply can't find how to include breadcrumbs on the home page.

I know technically you don't need them but the client wants (so the client gets!)
They appear (all be it in the wrong place) on product pages etc, just not on the home page.

So, my question - How do I display breadcrumbs site wide including on the home page.

Many thanks.

Add the following to the top of index.tpl in your theme's directory:

{include file=$tpl_dir./breadcrumb.tpl}

To add items to the breadcrumb, you'll need to use {capture name=path}{/capture} before this code. For example, history.tpl uses the following code to add a link to "My account", then display the navigation pipe ">", then display "Order history".

{capture name=path}{l s='My account'}{$navigationPipe}{l s='Order history'}{/capture}

You can manually add the missing breadcrumb bars this way.

Thanks for that. I understand all the above but I assumed that this was already built in and that the breadcrumbs were automatically created.
