In the current version (v.1.5a) the trail is passed back into the template,
via the custom tag and session variables. Each level of the trail creates a
session url and session title based on it's position in the hierarchy. I
know this is not the best way of doing this for two reasons: 1) Any
favourite/saved page, once returned to, has dead session variables - the get
around for this is a default message that links the user back to the home
page with a message like this:
<a href="home variable">home</a> > <i>rest of breadcrumb trail no loaded</i>
- have used code as this email is text only...
2) session variables has to be turned on in the Application.cfm.
We are currently working on alternative methods, including a cookie version,
a JavaScript version and a databased version. Currently though this works
fine - if you don't mind turning your session variables on.

James,
In your implementation, how is the "trail" passed in to a given template?
Thanks,
Jim
