Web app (items), Site map & Bread crumbs: How to combine them

[Carla@home]

How can you make those three modules work together?

In the URL field of the web app item it’s only possible to add a page name i.g. this-is-my-page-name

You can’t prepend a sub-folder name to it.

For my listing web site I would like to be able to add different url’s in the web app item like so

<hostURL/attribute/area/attribute-address>

i.g.:

example.com/sale/belnem/condo-kaya-saturnus-12-4   OR

example.com/rent/belnem/condo-kaya-saturnus-12-4

For the Site Map I would like to create a folder structure like this:

Root

—property-directory

——sale (or for rent)

———area name (like belnem)

—————object address (like kaya-saturnus-12-4)

The Bread Crumbs  should look like this:

home > area name (like belnem) > object address (like kaya-saturnus-12-4)

where the site visitor follows the trail back and sees the results of the crumbs when clicking/tapping on it.

The only workaround I can think off right know is to manually construct the Site Map and the Bread Crumbs as a normal web page and using liquid filtering/sorting.

There’s a big chance I’m overlooking something but I hope that some one else has a better idea.

Thanks for any help.

Kind regards,

For a web app - You can not Carla, so you need to explore other options.

What other options could be possible Liam, because I ran out of ideas.

Have a shorter closer to root URL structure because that is what they do things with pages.

Hi Liam, what do you mean "with closer to root URL structure"? Is it for the site-map structure or for the Breadcrumbs? For the web-app it seams difficult because you're depending on the web-app name.

On this blog Creating better breadcrumbs in Business Catalyst with Liquid  I've found an example on using breadcrumbs with structured data.

Happy reading.

WOW! How to make something straight forward the most complicated thing in the world. I honestly do not know what to say to all the code... My mind is blown at how OTT that is!

Perhaps a new challenge for you to make it simple?
