Hi,

I’m trying to include the “tag-prefix” and “author-prefix” in my breadcrumbs menu but couldn’t find the appropriate tag to use.

For example, URL for “widget1” is “domain/products/widget1”.

On the tag.hbs page,  {{name}} returns “widget1” but how does one get “products”?

Thanks.

widget1 is a tag or a post name?

Hi Bob,

In my example, widget1 is a tag.

So, on the tag page for widget1, the desired breadcrumbs would be

Home > Products > Widget1

And if Post1 had widget1 as its main tag, the breadcrumbs would be

Home > Products > Widget1 > Post1_title

Thanks.

Yes, I was following the method in that post and that worked well for the post pages.
I also wanted to implement similar breadcrumbs for the tag pages, for example, https://example.com/TAG_PREFIX/tag-slug1, I would have liked the breadcrumbs to look like:
Home > TAG_PREFIX > tag_name1

Then on the tags page,
Home > TAG_PREFIX

However, there’s no tag like {{tag_prefix}} where the TAG_PREFIX can be retrieved.

Likewise, for author pages, for example,  https://example.com/AUTHOR_PREFIX/author-slug
there’s no tag like {{author_prefix}} where the AUTHOR_PREFIX can be retrieved.

Publii does not generate a tag prefix, so your breadcrumb can look like: https://example.com/tag_name1

However,  including the current page in the breadcrumbs is not required by Google:

If the breadcrumb is the last item in the breadcrumb trail, item is not required. If item isn’t included for the last item, Google uses the URL of the containing page.

Look at the breadcrumb used on the google page: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/structured-data/breadcrumb

So personally, I would only use one element on tags page – a link to the home page and on tag pages, I would use an additional element with a link to tags pages e.g.  Home – Tags

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your feedback.

I have “products” for my “Tag prefix” in the URLs setting instead of the default “tags”.

On the tag pages, the URLs I’m getting are like:

• example.com/products/plastic-cards/
• example.com/products/accessories/
• example.com/products/lanyards/

Using your same example, I would like to show “Home – Products” instead of “Home – Tags”. 

I was hoping not to hardcode “Products” in my breadcrumb trail for my tag.hbs file but use a {{tagsPrefix}} 

How can I make a helper to return {{tagsPrefix}} (urlsConfig.tagsPrefix found in Publii source code file, \app\back-end\modules\render-html\helpers\url.js)?

Thanks.

[Bob]

Tags page URL:  {{@website.tagsUrl}}

Tags page title:  https://getpublii.com/dev/tags-page-tags/

So, assuming you customized the tags prefix names in your lang.json file (which is what I would recommend)…

 

Try this for the products breadcrumb link:

{{ translate 'tags.tagsPageTitle' }}

Thanks Bob and Candide!

Your suggestions worked great.  Shows I still have a lot to learn about Publii.

Cheers!

I’m so happy to hear that!! 🥳

I just found out about the lang.json stuff this past week while editing my portfolio site and changing the name of my tags as well. There’s always something new to learn about Publii. 😊
