@Duke Leto III - Diid you enter the actual link into the code after homeLink=?

As far as i can tell, no one ever said what to put after "&homeLink="

Can you fill me in? 

Also, I can't find where to tell the breadcrumb to use a different image. I tracked down the 'right arrow' image, but then it occurred to me if i change that, it'll change the image where the right arrow is also being used outside of the breadcrumb. Where's the code which points to what image file is used for this breadcrumb?

you put in the url where you want the home link to go...  its up to you if you dont want the default...

to change the icon, just pass it along in the template function with

&icon=xxxx

where x is the file you want to use which you have located in the theme styles/images folder...

Thanks for the quick reply! You guys are on it! 

I got the above &homeLink= thing to work, but it didn't accomplish what i thought it was going to do, which is to remove the unnecessary Home link at the beginning. 

I thought the orignial homeLink suggestion was in response to:

Re Breadcrumbs....

 

The single line fix worked fine, as above, but I didn't want the Home link to show at the start of the Breadcrumbs...

 

Changing  spBreadCrumbs&tree=0', __sp('Home')); to spBreadCrumbs&tree=0'); in the sphead.php file worked fine, but I'm left with two arrow icons next to the forum name instead of one.....

I'm trying to do the same thing. now that i've got it in a line, i'd like it to start with the name of my forum, hopefully without an icon.  Is this beyond the scope of possible customization? 

Cheers!

Sorry, misunderstood you - and didnt reread the topic... if you want to remove the home link, just leave it blank...

&homeLink and it will not be shown...

I can't seem to get this to work. I've tried:

&homeLink (links to my website's main page)

&homeLink= (links to http:///)

&homeLink='' (breaks the site)

&homeLink=none (links to http://none/)

Thanks again.

@Matthew Bonner - Let us know if you need any help but the code and images are really in a beta mode step. What Mr. Papa posted works but there is a small syntax error in the breadcrumbs function and the images need to be combined for better user interaction.

 

I can't find the 3rd image file, I have Arr and ArrH but I don't know what the third image is I'm looking for.
Secondly, I understand what Papa posted but I just don't know am I adding to that code and where?

I really like that look of the breadcrumbs, it looks more tasteful and flows better. I want that look for my forum, can you possibly simplify what I need to do to achieve this?
