Breadcrumbs not working (for Detail item)

SELECT * FROM perch2_pages WHERE pagePath='/admin/templates/pages/products-detail.php' LIMIT 1
SELECT DISTINCT settingID, settingValue FROM perch2_settings WHERE userID=0
Using template: \templates\search\search_product_form.html
Using template: \templates\search\search_product_mobile_form.html
SELECT pageTreePosition FROM perch2_pages WHERE pagePath='/admin/templates/pages/products-detail.php' OR pageSortPath='/admin/templates/pages/products-detail.php' LIMIT 1

Am using the same method as the Portfolio with Categories set-up ( https://docs.grabaperch.com/video/v/portfolio-with-categories/ ). i.e. Slug and redirection.

Is there a way the page hierarchy can be saved?

i.e. Pages:

Products
 - Chairs
    - - Lounge

The Perch Content item exists on the 'Lounge' page.

The breadcrumb should be:

Products > Chairs > Lounge

Not sure how to get the ideal outcome with that?

The problem is that the detail page is not actually a page, it's just perch content, and it's not a sub-page of the page (i.e. Lounge) that the content exists.

Would like the Perch Content items to be simulated as an actual page, a sub-page of where the Perch Content is saved.

Current: Products > Chairs > Lounge (Perch Content)

Would like: Products > Chairs > Lounge > Lounge-Name (i.e. Perch Content item). At least just for using Perch Breadcrumbs.

The problem with using a slug, even on the back of the Lounge page, is that the Lounge text is not linked within the breadcrumbs.

I.e. Products (linked) > Chairs (linked) > Lounge (not linked, because active page)

Am currently passing HTML breadcrumbs via the template however it's inefficient and repetitive for 100's of products.

Nope, there are 4 primary categories, and around 10 sub-categories under each primary. So there are basically around 40 variants. Hence the Breadcrumbs would be perfect for automation.

Next best thing I can think of (if the sub-page simulation can't be done for perch breadcrumbs), is to create categories/sub-categories along with a breadcrumb HTML textarea. Then display the breadcrumb HTML in page via custom template if the sub-category is selected in item content. It just means the category/sub-category needs to be selected for every product, no huge biggie, better than the general textarea HTML method per item at least.

One master page for summary and detail.

Same as the Portfolio with Categories set-up ( https://docs.grabaperch.com/video/v/portfolio-with-categories/ ). i.e. Slug and redirection.

Perch CMS pages as follows:

Products
 - Chairs
 - - Dining
 - - Lounge
 - - Dining
 - - Office
 - Tables
 - - Bar
 - - Bistro
 - - Dining
(etc.)

All the above are using the products-summary.php page

At the third level i.e.

 - - Bar
 - - Bistro
 - - Dining

Perch content exists as product-item. product-item may be 1 to 100+ products/items.

The product-item is displayed through the master page product-detail.php via slug.

Yep, except can't get breadcrumbs working for the product detail page, because the item is from perch content, it's not an actual page, would need the item detail simulated as a page. I don't know how to get working.

<?php

    /* Breadcrumbs doesn't work */
    perch_pages_breadcrumbs();


    /* Works */
    perch_content_custom('Product-Items', array(
    'page'              =>      '/products/*',
    'template'          =>      'product_item_detail.html',
    'filter'            =>      'slug',
    'match'             =>      'eq',
    'value'             =>      perch_get('s'),
    'count'             =>      1,          
    )); 

?>

How can I get the page hierarchy with links automatically into the content then? It needs to work like breadcrumbs.

Content exists on perch page Lounge: Products > Chairs > Lounge

Products
 - Chairs
    - - Lounge

Nothing, as per start of thread.
