Installation
Installation follows the usual process:
 * 1) Get the files by the instructions above, be sure they're in your $IP/extensions/BreadCrumbs/ directory.
 * 2) Modify your LocalSettings.php file.  To do so, add   into your wiki's LocalSettings.php
 * 3) (Optional) Set any Configuration defaults in the LocalSettings file.  For example, if I wanted to show Breadcrumbs to All users (not just logged-in users), I would add   below the line we added in Step 2.

Options
By default the following options are set by this extension:

You may change each one of these parameters by including it with your specified value into your LocalSettings.php below the initialisation of this extension.

You can also configure the styling of the breadcrumbs by editing your MediaWiki:Common.css page. For example, if you wanted to shrink the size of the breadcrumbs text from the default 0.8em to 0.5em, you should add this to MediaWiki:Common.css: As the Common.css page warns, you should perform a browser cache-clearing refresh in order to see the changes!

Future

 * 1) Store Breadcrumbs in Database?
 * 2) Possible: Create a hierarchy-based breadcrumb traversal?
