I wrote a custom tag that asks for breadcrumbtitle, breadcrumblink, and a
level. The level is actually the position in the trail.
This custom tag creates the breadcrumbs trail for each page that calls it.
Breadcrumbs are stored in a session scoped structure.
A couple examples of calling it are below. Everything after "level" is
optional for displaying the breadcrumbs. The first call can also display a
little home icon and link it.
<cf_breadcrumbs
homelink="/agent/index.cfm"
homeicon="/images/home_icon.gif"
level="1"
breadcrumbtitle="join agency"
breadcrumblink="#REReplace(CGI.SCRIPT_NAME,
"[^/]+\.cfm.*", "")#index.cfm?fuseaction=agyattach"
tabledisplay = "0"
cellcolor="black"
linkclass="breadcrumb"
linkcolor="white"
nonlinkclass="smalltext"
nonlinkcolor="white">
<cf_breadcrumbs
breadcrumbtitle="my links"
breadcrumblink="#REReplace(CGI.SCRIPT_NAME, "[^/]+\.cfm.*",
"")#index.cfm"
level="2">
tabledisplay = "1"
cellcolor="black"
linkclass="breadcrumb"
linkcolor="white"
nonlinkclass="smalltext"
nonlinkcolor="white">

Subject: OT: 2 questions - Breadcrum nav and hosting
Two ?'s for everyone:
1) Has anyone implemented 'breadcrumb' navigation using CF, particularly
FuseBox? How did you do it? I am looking to use it and am currently using
cgi vars to find out where you are and display the correct path, but am
figuring there is probably a better way. I don't want to use a session
system that breaks if the user uses the 'back' button however! (If you don't
know what breadcrumb navigation is go look at
<http://www.builder.com/Programming/Dhtml/?tag=st.bl.3881.dir1.bl_Dhtml>.
See the nav in the green box telling you where you are?)
2) I know this topic has come up numerous times, but I am looking for a CF
host that offers SQL Server 7. I need to start out on a shared box because
of price constraints (looking to stay under $100/month), but I want the host
to offer dedicated servers and co-location so when I make that move it will
be easier.
TIA - Nate
