INFO: A MediaWiki can be created and structured many ways. This extension creates breadcrumbs automatically if you use a given structure as defined below.
The structure is as follows, as an example: -Starting with the Main Page, you create 3 additional pages (Page A, Page B, & Page C) using the [[New Page]] format on the Main Page. -On Page A, you create 3 new pages: Page 1, Page 2, & Page 3
Breadcrumbs will automatically be created on Page 2 as such: Main Page > Page A > Page 2
It's certainly possible you may link from Page C to Page 2. This will show up as an additional breadcrumb. There is a setting to limit how many breadcrumbs get generated for a page.
Breadcrumbs will NOT show up for a page with any action (edit, creating new, etc), or for the Main page.
There are numerous settings.
IMPLEMENTATION: -Copy BreadCrumbsAuto.php into extensions folder -Add this line to LocalSettings.php: require_once('extensions/BreadCrumbsAuto.php');
OPTIONAL SETTINGS: (Add to LocalSettings.php) $breadcrumbsAuto_DL = " > "; // Character to delimit the links in the breadcrumb $breadcrumbsAuto_maxBreadcrumbs = 5; // Maximum number of links in breadcrumb (Main Page & Current page dont count) $breadcrumbsAuto_maxBreadcrumbGroups = 5; // Maximum number of breadcrumb groups (entire line of breadcrumbs is 1 group) $breadcrumbsAuto_maxPrefix = "[...]"; // Prefix if breadcrumb is longer than maxBreadcrumbs $breadcrumbsAuto_prefix = ""; // Text to put before breadcrumb $breadcrumbsAuto_currentPageLink = false; // Show current page as a link
