Usability: Breadcrumb Navigation looses whole path when entering a course

Usability: Breadcrumb Navigation looses whole path when entering a course

Hello all,

when i walk through the course categories, the whole category path is shown at the breadcrumb navigation correctly.

But when i enter a course its underlying category path disappears so that there is only:
Courses --> xxxxxCourse

Is there a way to show the whole category path even if the user is in a course?

Thanks a lot

The reason for the reduced breadcrumbs is that you are enroled into the course. The course becomes one of your courses ("My courses"). Moodle therefore changes the breadcrumbs and uses My courses as root.

We already discussed this point here: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=168746

 

I just added a tracker issue http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-34487

I propose to add a setting that allows admins to decide which kind of breadcrumbs (full navigation trail, or reduced with My courses as root) are most suitable for his users.


Please vote! smile

I totally agree.
A setting would be very useful for that.
