-====== Breadcrumbs output by the taxonomy_context module ======
-  * what should their content be ?
-Nedjo: Breadcrumbs in Drupal lead up to, but do not include, the current page. Assume a taxonomy like this:
-<code>
-Food (vocabulary id 2)
-  grains (root term, id 1)
-    wheat (second-level term, id 2)
-    rice (second-level term, id 3)
-  vegetables (root term, id 4)
-    potatoes (second-level term, id 5)
-    onions (second-level term, id 6)
-</code>
-When browsing the term 'rice', I assume the breadcrumb should be:
-[[/|home]] > [[taxonomy/vocabulary/1|food]] > [[taxonomy/term/1|grains]]
-When browsing a node assigned to rice, the breadcrumb should be:
-[[/|home]] > [[taxonomy/vocabulary/1|food]] > [[taxonomy/term/1|grains]] > [[taxonomy/term/3|rice]]
-We should probably look at the [[http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_breadcrumb|taxonomy_breadcrumb module]] for comparison.
-Frederic: I'm a bit reluctant on this. One the one hand, ISTR that breadcrumbs in drupal are supposed to as you describe. OTOH, there's a [[http://drupal.org/node/64067|snippet]] to include the page title, which means it is felt as needed and, maybe more importantly, Steve Krug, in its oft-quoted "Don't make me think" book about web usability, insists on including and even boldfacing the last item in the breadcrumbs, and I think this advice is as good as most of the book (I hear even Dries has it). To illustrate this example I'd say that browsing "rice" should give
-[[/|home]] > [[taxonomy/vocabulary/1|food]] > [[taxonomy/term/1|grains]] > rice
-and show a page related to the terms rice, typically the list of nodes matching the term. while browsing a node assigned to rice, say Carnaroli, the breadcrumb should be:
-[[/|home]] > [[taxonomy/vocabulary/1|food]] > [[taxonomy/term/1|grains]] > [[taxonomy/term/3|rice]] > Carnaroli
-... which happens to be how drupal works from the home page, which by default displays a node list matching a criterium (published + promoted), from which each node is one level deeper as a detail page. Same with these taxonomy contexts: term page lists nodes, putting the node list in its parental context, and node pages show the nodes, in their parental context.
-or possibly
-[[/|home]] > [[taxonomy/vocabulary/1|food]] > [[taxonomy/term/1|grains]] > [[taxonomy/term/3|rice]] > [[http://example.com/carnaroli_permalink|Carnaroli]]
-to include automatic permalinks within the same logic
