Extension talk:CategoryBreadcrumb

WARNING: This doesnt work on 1.10.1

It does work on 1.11 and all other version just dont forget to put $wgUseCategoryBrowser = true; in localsettings

Shows duplicate categories
I don't know why, but for some reason this script seems to show duplicate categories. For example, if I have a mediawiki entry tagged as category "person", the breadcrumb for person will show up 2 or 3 times when I use this extension. Any ideas why?

I have also noticed this bug. I am hoping to try to debug this if no one else already has.

Version
Same here on Mediawiki 1.11. Breaks the whole point of using this extension. Very good idea otherwise. Tonticologo


 * Agree with point above. I see same problem (sometimes) with MW 1.13.2.  Is anybody working to solve?  --Robinson Weijman 15:47, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

The sources do not match
the php program sources are different. The source on this site and the one on the download site (http://www.leerwiki.nl/How_to_create_breadcrumb_with_Mediawiki) are not the same. I'm not a php expert so I don't have much of an explanation; however, the one on the leerwiki site gave me an error while the one on this site works w/o any prob.

Problem in 1.15
I have installed this and the breadcrumb appears, however all the content of the page has been shifted into the "catlinks" div. Any ideas why this might have happened?

multiple breadcrumb trails
Hey, any way to get multiple trails to appear if a page is in two categories? ideally it should look like start -> major cat1 -> sub cat2 -> currentpage start -> major cat3 -> sub cat4 -> currentpage

--My edit does that, see my user page or the link below --Cm 11:43, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Left Pane Navigation moves to the bottom of the page
We attempted to implement this extension, but it pushed the main navigation menu on the left pane all the way to the bottom left of the page. Users do not see the menu anymore unless they scroll all the way to the bottom of the page.

I get the same thing
It seems to only happen to the main page. Navigating to other pages, places the sidebar in its normal position. Anybody have an idea on how to fix this?

Hi,

Is this problem resolved? Here I'm facing the same problem. Can anyone help?

Edits to include Start Link and support for Image pages
I put these minor changes to the source code here: User:Cm --Cm 11:43, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Same here
I so want this to work...

Skin.php
// <-- !!! $msg = wfMsgExt( 'pagecategories', array( 'parsemag', 'escapenoentities' ), count( $allCats['normal'] ) );

//$s .= ' 1 '.

//	$this->link( Title::newFromText( wfMsgForContent( 'pagecategorieslink' ) ), $msg )

//	. $colon. $t. ' ';

Hi,

What does it mean? Will it fix any of the above problems?

Other defect: text size increase
In addition to the and  I saw above:

 * When viewing pages, The text in the my talk / my preferences bar gets bigger. This does not occur when viewing categories.

MW 1.16.0 bug
Using with subj version results in exception when open category or special pages, though leaf pages are displayed properly. Fix:
 * Use code from wiki page, not from 'download' URL.
 * Another way - comment string "if ($wgArticle->getTitle->mNamespace != 0) return $out;" (not sure if it's secure)
