BreadCrumbTrail

This is an implementation of a bread crumb trail navigation at the articles’ header. By Roland Unger.

We do not use WvBreadcrumbs.php anymore. The main cause was that this extension did not produced cached messages. It was important in the beginning of the Wikivoyage project to have a bread-crumbs trail.

Instead of this we use now the Breadcrumbs extension.

Therefore, this documentation is for historical reasons only. The extension was tested with MediaWiki software 1.8, but not with later versions.

Installing BreadCrumbTrail
Download the WvBreadcrumbs extension from the SVN repository.

Copy WvBreadcrumbs.php into the WvBreadcrumbs folder in the extensions folder of your MediaWiki installation. Then add the following line to your LocalSettings.php file (near the end):

You must additionally modify the Skin.php file in the includes directory. Please find the subPageSubtitle function and add an additional line in the following manner:

Finally create an empty IsIn template (or similiar templates with the names given by the $isInArray). The extension is looking for the (last) IsIn template in an article and creates a bread-crumb trail with the article name given.

Customization
The extension defeines several global variables which can be modified in your LocalSettings.php file after the require_once statement.
