How can I remove the Site Path under the Menu?

Is it possible to turn the site path off in any settings or do I need to disable it manually? Example underneath the site menu it displays "Home > Groups" for Groups "Home > Blogs" for Blogs, etc. Thanks for your help guys.

are you using custom template?
share link so we can have a look at what you mean.

I think the OP is talking about the breadcrumb menu.  There are a few ways of removing it.  I simply removed it by adding display:none (not hidden) to the CSS to hide the breadcrumb menu.

As solusoft pointed out. We will need to see a screen shot.

I believe you are referring to the bread crumb menu, however, you posted in the dolphin 7.1 forum but in dolphin 7.1 stock the breadcrumbs do not appear under the top menu as you described. They appear at the bottom of the page. So if you have a custom template that is changing the location then we may not be able to help you.

Thanks guys, sorry for the delay. Yeah it was the breadcrumb menu, Deano, sorry didn't know the terminology for it. I am using a custom template but geek_girl's tip did work by adding "display: none;" to the general.css. Apologies again if I posted in the wrong place Deano, I was really wondering if there was a setting to simply disable it in 7.1 as that's what I am using that would work for all themes but your replies confirm not. Problem solved, thanks for all your input.

You could also make changes to the template files that includes the breadcrumb menu.

Here is what you need to know about templates on Dolphin.  Each template can override the base template.  So if a custom template includes the general.css file, they may have a different setting for the breadcrumb menu.  So keep that in mind when adding custom templates.

Yes, switches on some of these things would be nice and the breadcrumb menu is one that I agree should be able to be switched on and off in the admin.

Thanks @geek_girl. Yeah, I don't like making changes to the core & always prefer not to for obvious reasons but there was no general.css in their template files. Thanks again for your help.

Interesting, ProfessorSr because there is a custom one already but no mention in it of the breadcrumb menu which I was surprised as they did move it to the top from the bottom as discussed in this thread. So I could have just added a few lines in there. Thanks for the info.

They may have made the changes in the general.css file in your template.

The old school way of doing templates was this:

You would have to find out what page the css styling is that you want to change. so, using your situation as an example, you would find the breadcrumb styling - which is on general.css. Then, you would create your own general.css in your template with the following at the top:

@import url(../../base/css/general.css);

This will use the default general.css style sheet for anything that you have not added to your new general.css file. I found that this was not necessary, so I only have 1 css file called custom.css, in which I put every css style that I need to override from the original.

The position of the breadcrumb has nothing to do with the CSS.

Normally there is a tag in the templates _sub_footer.html that determines where to put it.

That must have been moved to _sub_header.html

And that BTW is another way to remove it without having to modify the base css files. Just take the tag out of the templates header file.

thank you for the correction, deano.

Thanks for the tip ProfessorSr. Yeah, why make things more complicated? Your method keeps it simple :)

Yep, just checked that Deano. Reference was indeed in _sub_header.html. Sorted that now, thanks for the help! :)

I don't think the breakcrumb menu really serves that much purpose in a website.  They can be useful in forums.  The idea is that you navigate deeper into a site, you can quickly back out the way you came in.

As for the @import, that is now being discouraged.  Why even use it?  Just copy the stylesheet you want to import into your template and make the changes on the classes that you wish to change. Importing the stylesheet and then adding classes at the bottom only increases the size of the sheet that is loaded.  Dolphin loads a lot of stuff as it is, if we can reduce that load we should.

I wanted it removed completely because it looked ridiculous on my site. It's a closed site except for members only so I have no menu anywhere on the splash page displayed to visitors not logged in. Just the Join or Login. That made this little 'Home' link look silly & no way of hiding it in settings. That was my reason for wanting it removed. Thanks for your help.

I can see using the @import. It makes it a heck of a lot easier to find your new changes. (I have a hard time keeping notes on what I do)

I suppose that is true; however, if you are using @import and adding after the @import, then you could just copy the stylesheet, and put this where you add new things

It is all good though, we all work in different ways.
