Breadcrumb using Schema
Hi,
I've implemented the breadcrumb using the schema tags listed here: https://schema.org/BreadcrumbList
The only thing I can't work out to do is the increasing count of each item in the crumb trail:
<meta itemprop="position" content="1" />
How do I increase the number each time eg. content="1", content="2" etc
Full code here:
<perch:before>
<ol itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/BreadcrumbList" class="breadcrumbs">
<li><a href="/">Home</a> <span class="trail">></span></li>
</perch:before>
<li itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope
itemtype="https://schema.org/ListItem">
<perch:if exists="perch_item_last">
<perch:pages id="pageNavText" />
<perch:else />
<a itemprop="item" href="<perch:pages id="pagePath" />"><span itemprop="name"><perch:pages id="pageNavText" /></span></a> <span class="trail">></span>
</perch:if>
<meta itemprop="position" content="1" /><!-- This number should increase for each item -->
</li>
<perch:after>
</ol>
</perch:after>
Would
perch_item_indexwork here?I tried that but nothing is outputted:
You're not in the Content app, so a
perch:contenttag won't have any value. Try:Perfect that did the trick! Thanks :o) Can't see for looking sometimes. Almost there… So now it outputs:
But the Home link is outside of the count as it's within a perch:before tag, anyway to take it out of the before tag and then it would output content="1","2", "3"
I don't see anything in the spec that indicates that the numbers have to be consecutive, just that that should be integers, start at 1 and that they're used to reconstruct order. Therefore, I'd do this for the home page:
and this for the others:
You'll then get a sequence of
1, 10, 20, 30, 40and so on.OK brilliant thanks for your help, all working now. Here's the final code:
