Category Breadcrumb in Product

[lexijade]

I have searched and searched but can't find anything that tells me how to display the category breadcrumb in the product listing or how to just have the category listed in the description of the item. I am using e-shift template.

By "in the product listing", do you mean somewhere other than the actual breadcrumb bar?

If so, then we will need to make that data available to the individual templates and not just the main.php template.

I don't have a breadcrumb bar? Here's my site.

Your site is taking WAY too long to load, so something is definitely wrong with your code. If you haven't already, please enable Debugging in Store Settings, with your own IP marked to be the only one who can see the output.

[lexijade]

It loads quickly for me, not sure why it's taking so long for you. And I do have debugging on, but no idea what to do with it.

[Dirty Butter]

Try emptying your browser cache and see if it still loads quickly for you. Now that I've loaded it into my browser, it loads quickly for me, too.

Do you see any warnings or error messages in the debug entries at the bottom?

[lexijade]

I cleared my cache and it's a bit slower, but not awful. I mean it definitely isn't instant, but I think it's normal.

The only thing at the top of the debug when I am in a product listing is this:
[Notice] /home/content/88/5118188/html/ltcube/classes/gui.class.php:1124 - Undefined variable: product

Which isn't something I messed with, so not sure what the problem with that is.

Here is the relevant code from the main.php template:

                    {$CATEGORIES}
                    {$SEARCH_FORM}
*                   </div>
                    {$RANDOM_PROD}
                    {if isset($POPULAR_PRODUCTS)}{$POPULAR_PRODUCTS}{/if}
                    {if isset($SALE_ITEMS)}{$SALE_ITEMS}{/if}
                    {if $SHOW_MAIL_BOX!='no'}{$MAIL_LIST}{/if}
*               </div>
*           </div>
*           <div class="u8">
                <ul id="breadcrumb">
                    <li class="first"><a href="{$STORE_URL}">{$LANG.common.home}</a></li>
                    {foreach from=$CRUMBS item=crumb}
                    <li><a href="{$crumb.url}">{$crumb.title}</a></li>
                    {/foreach}
                </ul>
*		{include file='templates/box.errors.php'}
*		{if isset($CHECKOUT_PROGRESS)}{$CHECKOUT_PROGRESS}{/if}

Having my browser show me the source from your site, here is the matching code (presumably):

					</div>
				</div>
			</div>
			<div class="u8">
<blank line>
<blank line>
				

The asterisk'd lines are the ones showing in the browser.

So, please verify that the breadcrumb list code is still in the template.

(I see that the template code has the ($CATEGORIES} come before the {$SEARCH_FORM}. You probably switched that.)

Your product images aren't loading either:

<img alt="Kewaunee Fume Hood 6 feet" src="http://www.labtrader.com/ltcube/images/cache/_square.120.jpg">

The path is correct, but something about the image's name in the /source/ folder is not getting used when CubeCart makes the appropriately-sized images for the skin and puts them in the /images/cache/ folder.

[lexijade]

Thanks! I didn't realize that applied to all pages, and removed it because I didn't want it on the home page. Stupid me, totally obvious mistake. I am pretty new to all of this still, so this forum has been a huge help!

Do you have an idea what the problem with the images is? Also the square image is just a blank square as a filler 'default' image, in case that's what you meant by not loading too.

[bsmither]

Please look in the /images/cache/ folder. This is what CubeCart is deriving:

_square.120.jpg

There should be something in front of _square.

Technically, the skin should have its own set of 'noimage_<size>.jpg' in the skin's /images/ folder. (And the e-shift skin does have these images.)

If you haven't uploaded/assigned any product images, then something is going wrong with CubeCart - not the skin.

I tried you site again this morning with a cleared browser cache, and it loaded just fine. I must have hit your site just as a server was hiccupping.

Hm, weird. I have uploaded/assigned lots of pictures- almost all of them I have done through the product listing page.
