Drupal has auto generated breadcrumb for every
page. Customizing the breadcrumb is need at some point for our purpose

we can get the drupal breadcrumb for a page using
the function
drupal_get_breadcrumb()

and we can add layers to that or reset it

Eg A:

if the default breadcrumb is
user >> edit
and we want to set it to
user >> edit >> options

then code will be

$breadcrumbs = drupal_get_breadcrumb(); /// to get the existing breadcrumb
$breadcrumbs[] = l(t(’options’), ‘path here); /// appending new path to old
drupal_set_breadcrumb($breadcrumbs); //// assigning the new breadcrumb

Eg A:

if the default breadcrumb is
user >> edit
and we want to set it to
user >> users blog

then code will be

$breadcrumbs[] = l(t(’user’), ‘path here);
$breadcrumbs[] = l(t(’users blog’), ‘path here);
drupal_set_breadcrumb($breadcrumbs);
