Hello All,

I need help trying to customize the Breadcrumb navigation displayed by SharePoint. I have created two .aspx pages in the Pages Library named search.aspx and products.aspx. A link from search.aspx leads to the page products.aspx, and I want the breadcrumb navigation to reflect this structure so that the breadcrumb looks as follows: Home > Search > Products

and where "Search" links to search.aspx.

However, when I navigate to the products.aspx page, the breadcrumb instead looks like: Home > Products.

I’d think this would be something easy to do within SharePoint by configuring the site navigation structure, but from my research on the Internet people suggested disabling SharePoint breadcrumbs and creating a custom web part that creates these links and simulates the functionality. If not, others recommend creating a custom sitemap provider. These seem to be a lot of work just to achieve the functionality I described.

Looking in the masterpage, there is a breadcrumb placeholder with the following content, with which my pages inherit from:

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Ben

You can customize the asp:SiteMapPath control in the MasterPage, this other question has info on it
