Breadcrumb issue with popups in RH8

[Flaven]

Here's the short story: I have some 2,500 auto-sizing popups located in a separate folder in my project. When I compile the project with breadcrumbs, the popups display the breadcrumb and truncate the last line of text in the popup. The inelegant solution to the truncation is to go through the 2,500 popups and insert a blank line at the end (I can figure a batch process for that); however, breadcrumbs on a popup make no sense: the path is always "Home".

Does anyone have an idea on how to kill off breadcrumbs appearing on popups while leaving breadcrumbs alone on the regular topics? I could probably figure out how to cleanse them in the compiled project, but that is also inelegant...and a chore that would have to be repeated every time the project is output.

Any direction would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi there

You could define two Master Pages. One would have a Breadcrumb placeholder just before the Body placeholder. Use that for topics where you want Breadcrumbs.

For the popup topics, use the other Master Page that has no Breadcrumb placeholder.

Thanks, Rick -- I'll look into that. Currently, there are no placeholders and I'm relying on the breadcrumb function via the layout properties dialog. Looking over the scant help on placeholders, it would seem that I would then turn off breadcrumbs in the layout properties and let the placeholders handle it?

The breadcrumb issue works perfectly. Now, that's elegant...

But, the auto-sizing popups are still truncating the last line, so I assume that's a bug that crept in from the RH7 upgrade (there had been several issues in that process). I'll insert the extra lines to take care of that issue. Thanks, Rick.
