Recently I setup a Forums site with only a single forum to start out with. Now that I have added an additional forum I have a slight bread crumb navigation problem.

When navigating down to Thread level in the new forum (and only in the new forum the first behaves as expected) created part of the bread crumb navigation is missing, let me illustrate:

Normally it would look like below:

Site > Forums > Forum > Thread

But when nagivation to thread level in the new forum it looks like below:

Site > Forums > > Thread

As you can see it doesn’t show the respective Forum name.

How can I fix this rather annoying issue?

Did you add the new forum information to your forum/forum_names.php file?

Yes like below but maybe I did it the wrong way?

function get_forum_name($which = “”){

if ($which != “”)
{
switch ($which)
{

case “mainforum” : return “Exchange 2000/2003”;
break;

case “feedback” : return “Feedback”;
break;

// case “private_name” : return “Public Name”;
// break;

}
}
}

That appears correct.  Can you share a link to your forums so we can see this in action?

Of course the forum can be found at:

http://www.exchange-faq.dk/forum/index.php

It the forum called Feedback that experiences the problem and Exchange 2000/2003 which works as expected.

Thanks.

Hmm… I wonder if this is caused because your forum name starts with an “F”.  There is code in the “threads.php” page which checks for this because of the way additional page results are handled in pMachine.

Try this to make sure pM is trying to get the right information:

1. Open up your threads.php file for editing

2. Look around line 23 and you’ll see this:

3. Echo the variable right after that:

Now, go to an entry in the “feedback” forum (such as this one and you should see some text at the very top of the page.  What text do you see?

I get: The ‘which’ variable—>Feedback<—

So I guess the reason is that the forum starts with F?

If this is the case would I be able to solve this problem without renaming the Forum or would you suggest I simply rename it?

So your forum is actually named “Feedback” and not “feedback”; i.e. with the capital “F”?  In your exceprt from the forum_names.php file above you’re using a lowercase “F”, so you might try changing that to uppercase.

You’re the man Chris that minor change actually did it. I wasn’t aware the forum names was case sensitive.

Thanks for your help
