Bread Crumbs For Upload / Edit Pages

[TJoomla]

The breadcrumbs for the upload and edit pages are just:
Home / {all cats menu item name} / {all cats menu item page title}

It would be nice if the regular Category breadcrumb was displayed for an upload, and the regular Download breadcrumb was displayed for an edit, so the user could see directly where they were.

Thank you,
Tim

Hi Colin,

I guess the term "breadcrumb" comes from the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel. They dropped breadcrumbs in the forest so they could find their way back out. (Did not work out for them. Birds ate the breadcrumbs, they got lost in the forest, and the wicked witch used them for her stew. EDIT: the witch was going to bake them, not stew them. And, Gretel pushed the witch in the oven. 4th grade was a while ago.)

In any case, the line in the Joomla frontend, that by default is above the central component area and says "You are here: Home / menu-item1-name / menu-item2-name" is called breadcrumbs. I guess it is called this since you can click on higher level menu-items, or home, and find your way out.

Breadcrumbs work great with jDownloads for normal category and download views. They list the current items in the category tree down to the active category, and the current download at the end. Thank you Arno for the integration!

I am requesting an enhancement. When using Add from a category, or Edit (pencil) in a download, the enhancement is that the same integration already in use for category and download views, would also be used to set the breadcrumbs for the add or edit form. Then the user can directly tell where in the categories they are adding a new download into, or where in the categories and which download they are editing.

Thank you,
Tim
