Hi,

I have created two forum groups one for discussion and one for support/troubleshooting which both have forums with similar names in them.

Is there a way of append the forum group name to appear before the forum name in the breadcrumbs?

Cheers

not to worry Found what I was looking for in the sp-common-view-functions.php 

file and just changed line 1171 from  ‘groupLink’ => 0, to  ‘groupLink’ => 1,

not sure if thats quite the right way of doing it but it had the desired result.

It would be interesting to know if its possible to make a change to the theme file rather than the core files as obviously if I update SP then I will loose any changes I have made.


Cheers

ALL of the arguments you have discovered in the core function can be applied to the functiion call in the theme and yes – this is the best way to do things. So – using standard WP argument calling syntax – you can add the groupLink=1 to the argument list of the theme call. All arguments need to be separated by an ampersand.

So just add &groupLink=1 to the first parameter of the function call.

As always we recommend that you create your own SP theme so that any customisation is not lost during a future update. (http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/themes/theme-basics/creating-a-theme/)
