My hidden menus don't do anything and breadcrumb problem - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

i have 2 catalogue pages e.g. http://www.quivis.co.uk/lallans/index.php/lallans which, because of number of items listed [over 80] preclude use of menu link individual pages each item. have links hyperlinks on catalogue page. drawback is, when linking individual pages, breadcrumbs insert category in path undesirable , confusing! e.g. ... catalogue page > category > individual page

i have tried listing individual items on hidden menu makes no difference , breadcrumbs continue misbehave.

if have 'hidden' menu showing on page , click menu item, resulting breadcrumbs correct i.e. catalogue page > individual page.

if copy , paste links created in visible menu use hyperlinks makes no difference; once menu hidden breadcrumbs revert including category. (it in case pointless copying , pasting discovered, same links in fact joomla creates using 'article' button below editing window.)

which rather leaves me wondering point of hidden menu @ all?

thanks hints; big kiss or marriage proposal solution!

i have solution if comfortable making small change core code.

this solution worked me, , given user bebeuh:

hi,

i looking same.
i have found solution, have modify code of file
components/com_content/views/article/view.html.php

and comment or delete section:
code:
$category = jcategories::getinstance('content')->get($this->item->catid);
while ($category && ($menu->query['option'] != 'com_content' || $menu->query['view'] == 'article' || $id != $category->id) && $category->id > 1)
{
$path[] = array('title' => $category->title, 'link' => contenthelperroute::getcategoryroute($category->id));
$category = $category->getparent();
}


it works me, joomla 2.5.
hope can

the other thing should do, make change permanent via template override. keep losing core change when update joomla next time. can learn how here: http://docs.joomla.org/how_to_override_the_output_from_the_joomla!_core
