Adding Breadcrumb in PrestaShop 1.7 Module Front Controller

Add Breadcrumb in PrestaShop 1.7 Module Front Controller By a function :

PrestaShop 1.7 has been released early and there are many changes from code end like Symfony introduced and the default theme is updated to a new classic theme.

If you are developing Module for PrestaShop 1.7. This version introduced a new way of managing the Breadcrumbs on every page. In V1.6, we were managing breadcrumbs on tpl page but now we can manage this by a php function.

You are just needed to add this PHP function in your module front controller, You can see then the breadcrumbs in your front page.

public function getBreadcrumbLinks()
{
    $breadcrumb = parent::getBreadcrumbLinks();

    $breadcrumb['links'][] = [
        'title' => $this->getTranslator()->trans('Women', [], 'Breadcrumb'),
        'url' => $this->context->link->getModuleLink('module_name', 'controller_name')
     ];

    $breadcrumb['links'][] = [
        'title' => $this->getTranslator()->trans('T-shirts', [], 'Breadcrumb'),
        'url' => ''
     ];

     return $breadcrumb;
 }

Initial Prestashop versions is not translating the string written in trans() function for non-native modules. You can use

$this->module->l(‘Women’, ‘controller_name’)

instead of this.

Finally, Breadcrumb will look like this,

Hi Dheeraj,

I was looking for changing the breadcrumb in my module. I followed your tip but it didn’t work on PS 1.7.2.0:
I pasted your code into
class MyModuleManageModuleFrontController extends ModuleFrontController
{
…
#yourcode

}
But on Front end I cannot see the default breadcrumb. Perhaps I missed something …

However I’ve tried out with success this method:
class MyModuleManageModuleFrontController extends ModuleFrontController
{
public function initContent()
{
parent::initContent();
$this->assign();
}

/**
* Assign manage list template
*/
public function assign()
{
…
$links[] = array(
‘title’ => ‘ex1’,
‘url’ => $link->getPageLink(‘my-account’, true)
);
$links[] = array(
‘title’ => ‘ex2’,
‘url’ => ‘another url’
);
$links[] = array(
‘title’ => ‘ex3’,
‘url’ => ”
);

$context->smarty->assign(‘breadcrumb’, array(‘count’ => count($links), ‘links’ => $links));
}
}

getBreadcrumbLinks() this is not my function, this prestashop default function. I have overrided this and add my own breadcrumb.

Do not use your own assign() function just override getBreadcrumbLinks() function and write your code in this function.

Correct code;
public function getBreadcrumbLinks()
{
$breadcrumb = parent::getBreadcrumbLinks();

$breadcrumb[‘links’][] = [
‘title’ => $this->getTranslator()->trans(‘ex1’, [], ‘Breadcrumb’),
‘url’ => $this->context->link->getPageLink(‘my-account’, true)
];

$breadcrumb[‘links’][] = [
‘title’ => $this->getTranslator()->trans(‘ex2’, [], ‘Breadcrumb’),
‘url’ => ‘another url’
];

$breadcrumb[‘links’][] = [
‘title’ => $this->getTranslator()->trans(‘ex3’, [], ‘Breadcrumb’),
‘url’ => ”
];

return $breadcrumb;
}

Remove $this->assign(); from initContent();
