Sharepoint 2007 breadcrumb includes default.aspx

13 Oct, 2008  2 Comments

Are you seeing default.aspx after Pages in your SharePoint breadcrumb navigation?

I found a simple fix for this problem in MOSS, modify the master page.

Open the master page and look for PlaceHolderTitleBreadcrumb

Change SiteMapProvider="SPContentMapProvider" to

SiteMapProvider="CurrentNavSiteMapProviderNoEncode"

To quote from my reference

When you’re creating a new Page Layout, make sure you override the Title Breadcrumb with something that uses the CurrentNavSiteMapProviderNoEncode provider.

Heather Solomon has written a great post detailing the behaviour of out of the box page layouts breadcrumbs. She has also linked to other resources for how to modify and use the breadcrumb.

  1. On the SharePoint server go to the Themes folder e.g. c:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft Sharedweb server extensions12TEMPLATEThemes
  2. Make a copy one of the existing theme folders and its contents rename it e.g. MyTheme.
  3. Rename the .INF file within the MyTheme folder to MyTheme.INF
  4. Edit MyTheme.INF.
    1. At the info section change the title to MyTheme. Change codepage, e.g 22200, replacing the code page will fixing error. A theme with the name MyTheme 1011 and version already exists on the server.
