Are breadcrumbs in masterpages ignored?

It seems that breadcrumbs in masterpages are simply ignored. Is this behavior intended or did I screw up something? I can generate breadcrumbs using the setting in the SSL but as masterpages provide dedicated buttons in the editor to insert these placeholders, I would assume they should be used this way?

Hi there

I just tested and the Breadcrumbs feature works in Master Pages here in my RoboHelp 8.

Where exactly did you add them in the page? Insert a Screen Capture here for us to see?

What are you seeing that is telling you they aren't working?

Cheers... Rick

Sorry for beeing so unprecise. I inserted the breadcrumbs placeholder above the body paceholder in the masterpage (which I then assigned to all topics). The breadcrumbs placeholder and any settings I adjusted where ignored in the output (WebHelp and MS HTML), I simply got no breadcrumbs at all until I repeated the settings in the breadcrumbs options of the SSL.

I likely screwed up something, thanks for the info that it should basically work that way. I will go at it next week again.

Hi again

Ahhh, methinks I see the issue.

I'm not sure you will be able to apply Breadcrumbs that way. I'll have to test and see.

Master Pages (formerly known as Templates) may be used in two ways.

To apply Headers and Footers across several or all topics
To serve as a foundation from which new topics are created

I tested using the second method. Created a Master Page with Breadcrumbs, then created a topic using the Master Page.

I'll try a brief test and report back with findings... Rick
