Adding a parent crumb? about breadcrumbs_on_rails HOT 2 CLOSED

I've solved this by using an abstract parent class controller that sets the parent link. The controller for the page is a subclass of that abstract parent class controller. The abstract parent controller sets the parent breadcrumb using before_action: { add_crumbs :section_parent_path, t('breadcrumbs.parent_section_crumb') } and then the child controller sets its own crumb : before_action: { add_crumbs :this_page_path, t('breadcrumbs.this_page_crumb') }
The before_action in the abstract parent class controller is called first, so that breadcrumb is added before the child controller ("this page").

Your example could be set up like this:

class AboutUsSectionController < ApplicationController
     before_action: { add_crumbs :about_path, t('breadcrumbs.about_us) }
    ...
  end

class LeadershipPagesController < AboutUsSectionController 
   before_action: { add_crumbs :about_leadership_path, t('breadcrumbs.leadership) }
  ...
end

Then the result would be:
Home / About Us / Leadership

(assuming, of course, those are the entries in your I18n .yml file)

Just one way to do it. (Perhaps concerns would also work.) I have other reasons to also have a parent controller class, so was a reasonable approach for me.
