The breadcrumb navigation is built to display titles of sections on certain pages - Ross helped me code this - but because these are not part of the HTML and are generated by the CMSB, I'm not sure how to get what I need.
The code I'm using is like this:
<?php foreach ($naptonRecords as $naptonRecord): ?>
<?php echo $naptonRecord['_listItemStart'] ?>
<?php ?>
<?php if ($naptonRecord['linkOverride']): ?>
<a href="<?php echo $naptonRecord['linkOverride'] ?>">
<?php else: ?>
<a href="<?php echo $naptonRecord['_link'] ?>">
<?php endif ?>
<?php ?>
<?php echo $naptonRecord['title'] ?></a>
<?php echo $naptonRecord['_listItemEnd'] ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
Anyone know of an If statement or something I can add so that the current page displays in a colour?
Any help/ideas/suggestions would be brilliant!

I think what you are going to be looking for here is the _isSelected option. You can do tests on it like this:
<?php if ($naptonRecord['_isSelected']): ?>
<b>
<?php endif; ?>You might need to play with that a bit to get the right effect.
Let me know what you think.

Where would this sort of thing need to go? I've tried putting it at difference places within the breadcrumb code but get different errors everytime like undefined variables etc! Should it specifically go within a part of the code that is working?

That code would need to go right before where you display the category name.
<?php if ($naptonRecord['_isSelected']): ?>
<b>
<?php endif; ?>
CATEGORY NAME
</b>Make sure to put in that </b> after your category name or everything will go bold :).

I have been using the code to style the 'current' page and it is all working well except for (again) when you get to those difficult team list pages and the detail page. Is there something I will need to tweak here?
This is the code to style the menu:
<div id="menu"><ul>
<li>
<?php foreach ($church_endRecords as $church_endRecord): ?>
<?php echo $church_endRecord['_listItemStart'] ?>
<?php ?>
<?php if ($church_endRecord['linkOverride']): ?>
<a href="<?php echo $church_endRecord['linkOverride'] ?>">
<?php else: ?>
<a href="<?php echo $church_endRecord['_link'] ?>">
<?php endif ?>
<?php if ($church_endRecord['_isSelected']): ?>
<span class="current">
<?php endif; ?>
<?php ?>
<?php echo $church_endRecord['title'] ?></a></span>
<?php echo $church_endRecord['_listItemEnd'] ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
</li> </div>
I will attach the page it's not working on, would be really really helpful if someone could have a look for me! This is what it is supposed to be doing:

Thanks in advance!

I didn't actually notice your last post was a question. I thought you had it all figured out and were just curious if there might be another way to do it.
What I am thinking is that the name up in your URL is probably going to be the same as this variable on your page: $church_endRecord['title']
So we could just do something like,
if name from url = the name we are showing in the navigation, change its style
Does that sound like it would work? Let me know what you think :).

The url's for the pages end in:
/napton.php?1, napton.php?2 etc (so numbered depending where the put the pages in the CMSB list)
Until you get to the teamList/teamDetail page where it is: napton_teamList.php/napton_teamDetail.php?Head-Teacher-5.
Would this have any effect?

The number at the end there is always a record number. I think your nation.php pages are category menus right? So the the number at the end is the category record number.
On your detail page, it has Head-Teacher-5 at the end so the record is number 5.
It should still work. Technically, on that last link, the text you see there is just to help make the URL more readable. You could actually do something like
napton_teamDetail.php?I-AM-ROSS-5 and the same article would show up because you still have that 5 at the end.
Let me know if this helps. Thanks!
