Well, I am using a "menus" model/controller/view to generate the menu, so it is no big deal to set a viewVar to be used in the breadcrumb. I am using a Crumb Helper (http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/ breadcrumb-helper) in the view like so: echo $crumb->getHtml($menuttitle, null, 'auto' ) ; But maybe I should back up and look at the add/getCrumb in the HTML helper. I was thinking that if I stored menu links as fully-qualified paths like "/financial/budgets/index" I could then split that path and turn it in to "Financial > Budgets > Index" breadcrumb. I guess the bigger question is whether to map something like "/budgets/ action" to "/financial/budgets/action" using routes.php. Adn I guess a more general questions is what do people do if they want to create a hierarchical application view when the default organization of "model/action" is "flat" under the application root.
