Is it possible to use the Sitefinity breadcrumb in a widget - Sitefinity - Front- & Back-End Development

I created a module where I want to have the full detail page view show up dynamically versus selecting another existing page. I would like to add an easy way for users to get back to the list view page so have been trying to get a breadcrumb to work, but I am not seeing anything output.

In my widget template for the full details I have added:

<sf:RadBreadCrumb id="RadBreadCrumb" runat="server" />

There are no errors and the details view pages comes up fine, but I do not get a bread crumb trail. Is this possible to use in widgets? Do I need to add a sitemap source to the widget too?

If I have to I can just create a child page under the listing page and drop a breadcrumb widget onto the page and then have the details view target this page versus the dynamically generated one, but I am trying to avoid this.

Did you ever get this figured out? I am trying to do something similar and am not able to get the breadcrumbs working in my widget template.

Just wondering if anyone else has gotten this to work?

Hi,

RadBreadCrumb is used inside Sitefinity, it is not used for the front end. You are not able to use the control in a template.

What we could suggest you is to inherit from Breadcrumb and override the LayoutTemplatePath. For instance:

namespace SitefinityWebApp

public partial class WebUserControl : Breadcrumb

public override string LayoutTemplatePath

get

return WebUserControl.layoutTemplatePath;

set

base.LayoutTemplatePath = value;

public static readonly string layoutTemplatePath = "~/SitefinityWebApp.Breadcrumb.ascx";

Please note that your custom template should contains these elements:

<%@ Register Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Sitefinity" Namespace="Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI" TagPrefix="sf" %>

<div class="sfBreadcrumbWrp">

<sf:SitefinityLabel id="BreadcrumbLabel" runat="server" WrapperTagName="span" HideIfNoText="true" CssClass="sfBreadcrumbLabel" />

<telerik:RadSiteMap runat="server" ID="Breadcrumb" Skin="Sitefinity">

<DefaultLevelSettings ListLayout-RepeatDirection="Horizontal" Layout="Flow"/>

</telerik:RadSiteMap>

</div>

Then implement your logic in the code behind and the template.
