What are some good ways to implement breadcrumbs on a Jekyll site?

Question

I\'m aware that there are single-level breadcrumbs in http://raphinou.github.com/jekyll-base/ but I\'m looking for some good ways to have breadcrumbs on a Jekyll sit

Answer 1

This is how I implemented breadcrumbs in a site I inherited, which is based off some of the other versions here. In our case, some of our folders didn't contain an index.html page. Therefore, clicking on a breadcrumb that linked to a folder with no index.html in it would cause an error. This could have been eliminated with a better file structure, but I wasn't able to change that.

Here is what I came up with.

            
Home
            {% assign crumbs = page.url | split: '/' %}
            {% assign crumbs_total = crumbs | size | minus: 1 %}
            {% for crumb in crumbs offset: 1 %}
                {% if forloop.index == crumbs_total %}
                    
{{page.title}}
                {% else %}
                    {% assign crumb_limit = forloop.index | plus: 1 %}
                    {% capture crumb_url %}{% for c in crumbs limit: crumb_limit %}{{ c | append: '/' }}{% endfor %}{% endcapture %}
                    {% capture crumb_with_index %}{{ crumb_url | append: 'index.html' }}{% endcapture %}
                    {% capture current_page %}{{ site.baseurl }}{{ page.url }}{% endcapture %}
                    {% for p in site.pages %}
                        {% if crumb_with_index != current_page and crumb_with_index == p.url %}
                            
{{ crumb | replace:'-',' ' | capitalize}}
                        {% endif %}
                    {% endfor %}
                {% endif %}
            {% endfor %}
