How do I exclude the root folder "/" from showing up on the breadcrumbs velocity format?

   Here is the .txt version of the format.

   Hi,

   Perhaps you can surround the contents of the #foreach with an #if statement that checks to make sure the current crumb's path is not /. Something like the following:

   #foreach ($crumb in $trail)
     #if ($crumb.getChild("path").value != '/')
       ...
     #end
   #end
   

   Please let me know how this works out, or if you have any questions.

   Thanks!

   Hi Ryan,

   I've tried wrapping it right after the #foreach and no luck. Can't figure out why it isn't complying.

   Thank you for following up. Perhaps try outputting the value of $crumb.getChild("path").value just to check and see what the path value is for the root folder. I believe it should be /, but could be wrong.

   Thanks!

   Ryan,

   In my case it output // rather than /. Strange, but that worked on the conditional statement you provided.

   Thank you for your help!

   Ah, thank you for testing, and I am glad to hear you were able to get things working. I have seen that as well for the root folder, so I would go with that conditional for the time being.

   I'm going to go ahead and close this discussion, please feel free to comment or reply to re-open if you have any additional questions.

   Have a great day!
