Breadcrumb Wrong

0
I have noticed that the breadcrumb for Playlists displays incorrectly (even on the MC website). The idea for the breadcrumb is to be able to go back to a previous menu item.

MC Website Example ...

Home > Playlists demo > Playlists

In the above example, when you click on the "Playlist demo" link your suppose to go to a previous menu item ... this doesn't work properly and should read as follows ....

Home > Playlists demo

On my menu, because I have named my playlist section simply called 'Playlists" it displays as follows ...

Home > Playlists > Playlists

Which makes no sense at all. Can the breadcrumb be easily fixed somewhere?

Thanks.

    /components/com_muscol/views/playlists/view.html.php on line 74 you find this:

    $pathway->addItem(JText::_('Playlists'), 'index.php?option=com_muscol&view=playlists');

    just comment it

    But after I comment it, I clicked on "on the go" then go back to playlists through the breadcrumb, the breadcrumb displays nothing. Something wrong happens when I click on playlists link that shown in the breadcrumb.

    well i updated now to v.2.1:

    The breadcrumb url is like this:

    http://www.startsing.com/index.php/musiccollection/a/akon

    The correct url is suppose to be: http://www.startsing.com/index.php/my muucol menu item name/a/akon

    for example: http://www.startsing.com/index.php/karaoke/a/akon

    the you must be sure that music collection is linked to your menu item.. for that, you must use the DEFAULT ITEMID parameter... are you using it?

    yes i am using it, it's 89

    I am also using this tutorial http://www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/en/forum/general/prevent-modules-to-appear-in-the-inner-pages-2.html#7480 to make muscol inner pages has modules different than it’s home page: I have two muscol menu item the first one is the fake one that I don’t use it’s itemid (21) in the global parameter it’s only purpose is to display more modules on the right position that I don’t need them in the inner pages, and the real one that I use it’s item id (89) in global parameter and all modules but of course it’s a hidden menu item.

    i guess it's something in sh404sef as i disabled it form it's global setting here is the url for akon from breadcrumb http://localhost/final/index.php?option=com_muscol&view=artist&id=18&Itemid=89
    the other url is for akon to but not from the breadcrumb
    http://localhost/final/index.php?option=com_muscol&view=artist&id=18&Itemid=89
    both are the same, i guess that the sh404sef is doing this, i am using version 2.1.4.734

    but when i only skip handling muscol form sh404sef (by component)options it gives me this urls
    from breadcrumb : http://localhost/final/index.php?option=com_muscol&view=artist&id=18
    not form breadcrumb: http://localhost/final/index.php?option=com_muscol&view=artist&id=18&Itemid=89

    i am using sh404sef V.2 and i have an issue with breadcrumb links as it types musiccollection instead of the musiccollection homepage menuitem name which is (karaoke). after disallowing sh404sef i notice that breadcrumb non sef urls don't have the item id for musiccollection which is in my case 89. despite the correct url from a-z bar it generates non sef urls that has the item id at the end.

    how to make breadcrumb generate a non sef url with default item id so that sh404sef can convert it to the word karaoke instead of musiccollection.
