Generating Breadcrumbs

The page hierarchy information can be used for generating dynamic breadcrumbs. You can use the following code for displaying the UL element with links to the parent pages of a current page.

<?
	$parents = $this->page->navigation_parents();
	foreach ($parents as $parent):
?>
	<li><a href="<?= $parent->url ?>"><?= $parent->navigation_label() ?></a></li>
<? endforeach ?>

{% set parents = this.page.navigation_parents() %}
{% for parent in parents %}
	<li><a href="{{ parent.url }}">{{ parent.navigation_label() }}</a></li>
{% endfor %}

The code calls the navigation_parents() method of the current page. This method returns a list of the page parents in reversed order. Then the code iterates through the list of the page parents and outputs a link and a page label for each parent. You can place this code into a template in order to have automatically generated breadcrumbs on each page of your website.
