[Bug 784960] Re: when a page is displayed, the navigation menu doesn't show where you are

 

What is really needed is a proper 'breadcrumb' option that displays the
full navigational path depending where you are.

I've attached some examples of breadcrumbs a mahara client uses to show
what could be done to have the better navigation.

They achieve this by having a breadcrumb.tpl called by header.tpl and it
uses the same variables as header.tpl but has a bunch of special logic
to display the breadcrumbs.

If breadcrumbs were to be added to core it might be better to work out
the crumb path logic on  lib/web.php side then have the breadcrumb.tpl
display the generated crumb (separate the function logic from the
presentation logic).

Title:
  when a page is displayed, the navigation menu doesn't show where you
  are

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  See attached screenshots.

  I would expect that when I am in a page or collection view, then I get in the menu bar the following selected
  "Portfolio" and either "Pages" or "Collections"
  this makes it easier to click and go back

  This would only be present if I was the owner of the page or
  collection. I don't know what to suggest for visitors to that
  page/collection

  Cheers,

  Hugh
