Here's an alternative breadcrumb generator that handles object names
like this...
if len(request.args) > 0: # tune this value. grid & smartgrid use
longer arg lists
if 'name' in db[request.controller].fields:
item_name = 'editing ' + db[request.controller][args[-1]]].name
else:
item_name = 'editing item #' + request.args[-1]
bc_list.append(A(item_name, _href=URL(....))) #
