Pages Crumbs and Pages Nested Menu
Development and Programming
I’ve been trying out the Pages Crumbs plugin, but I’m having some strange results. It seems to be ‘forgetting’ about some of my page crumb segments. It seems to happen if current page doesn’t have any other pages at that level, or the current page doesn’t have any childen (is an end node). Results seem inconsistent, often times if I create a structure like: about/food/tacos/ …the ‘tacos’ page breadcrumb will show ‘about’, but forget about the ‘food’ (yes, I have created pages for each segment). But then if I create say: about/food/burgers, the tacos breadcrumb will be fixed, but then the burgers breadcrumb will just show ‘about’ or nothing at all. Seems to also fix breadcrumbs for pages if I create a child page (about/food/burgers/toppings) would fix the burgers breadcrumb. Has anyone had any similar issues, or know what could be causing this?I’m having exactly the same problems (v 1.6.6). I think it might be related to the more recent versions of EE, as I could have sworn I’ve used this plugin in the past without this problem at all. I’m not smart enough to work out what the problem is, but it would be interesting to hear if anyone is using this plugin with earlier versions of EE to see if this is happening, as it might help work out where the problem is…
I’m having the same problem in 1.6.7. I heard Mark wasn’t planning to update his plugins for v2.0, but it looks like he’s already stopped updating them altogether.
I suppose we should try another solution.
I tried Iain’s plugin, Crumbee, and it works great. It took a little tweaking of the PHP to make it do what I wanted, but I’m happy.
Thanks Iain!
I was running into problems with Pages Nested – Firefox kept throwing ‘Content Encoding’ errors when GZIP was enabled.
The problem was an extra space before the opening ‘<?php’ tag. Deleting the space fixed everything.
Thanks Alex! I was having exactly the same problem and removing that space has fixed the issue for me.
Got to love them there forums.

does anyone have a solution for multiple fields in the order=”” parameter for the nested menu? eg order=”2|3”
I’ve built a module that allows page ordering in the cp that I hope to release soon, it has preferences so you can assign a weight field per field group, and is multiple site manager enabled…
I’ve also made an extension for selecting a page parent when publishing, publishers can see the page tree on the publish page, click a title and it completes the uri field up to the last segement for the publisher to complete.
Finally, I’ve also tweaked the pages nested menu plugin to be msm friendly, so you can output nested menus from each of your msm sites into a single template with a site=”” parameter
The multiple order parameter is the last job now to move forward… can anyone help?…
Hey peeps,
Using EE 1.6.8 I’m having big problems getting both Pages Crumbs and Pages Nested Menu to work properly. Does anyone know of either a fix for this or perhaps an alternative plugin (at least for the Pages Nested Menu)?
Cheers
Jim PS I realise that using Structure would probably solve all my problems, but I haven’t set the site up using it and the thought of redoing the whole thing isn’t a good one 😉
I know the Pages Crumbs plugin has had an issue for a while, what specific problems are you having with the nested menu plugin?
It’s been working fine for me on 1.6.8…
Just that it doesn’t produce any output most of the time and then random stuff when it does work (on certain pages only). I’m going to investigate Structure instead as a possible solution.

I haven’t experienced that myself. Can you post some code?
The only real bug I’ve come across is the breadcrumbs output omitting one level on a very few select pages within the site tree, and it seems to be totally random as far as I can see.

The bug happens when you’re visiting a page at the end of a branch, last <li> item from a nested <ul>
You’re right iain! I never noticed that before because I re-order my pages in the site tree using the REeorder module.
You wouldn’t happen to have a fix for the bug would you? 😊 (sorry if it’s already been posted, I haven’t looked at these threads in a while)
I wrote Crumbee which builds a breadcrumb from the url, you can download it from from here.
Receiving following PHP error:
Warning: natcasesort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in C:\wamp\www\current\ee\plugins\pi.pages_nested_menu.php on line 70The markup is:
{exp:pages_nested_menu root="/{segment_1}/{segment_2}/" include_ul="no" include_root="no" depth="5" parse="inward"}

{/exp:pages_nested_menu}This is from a site I just duplicated from live to localhost install (needing to remodel). Everything on the duplicated site is working, except for the sub-menus. ‘Pages’ module installed as is the plugin. EEv1.6.9
Any ideas what I am missing?
I found the problem.
{whew… now THAT took some digging….}
v1.1.9 of the plugin is not compatible with EE v1.6.9. The array used to store pages data changed. See here.
I made the modifications and this solved the problem I reported above. Am attaching the updated plugin.
Thank you carvingCode! Was updating an older EE site (v1.6.4) today and this saved the day!
