It only requires editing two files. And the Breadcrumbs and titles will be as you want them. (The only thing that doesn't work is the ability to set the page title to whatever you want since it reads the Category Name field.)
First File to edit is on the frontend: content.php
Found at: components/com_content/content.php
goto line# 461 in the ShowCategory function and replace this:
Code: Select all
HTML_content::showContentList( $category, $items, $access, $id, $sectionid, $gid, $params, $pageNav, $other_categories, $lists );with this:
Code: Select all
$params->def( 'blog_link', 0 );
if ( $params->get( 'blog_link' ) ) {
global $pop;
showBlogCategory( $id, $gid, $access, $pop, $now );
} else {
HTML_content::showContentList( $category, $items, $access, $id, $sectionid, $gid, $params, $pageNav, $other_categories, $lists );
}next scroll down to the blank space on line# 788 (which may have changed to 794)
enter in this code between the case statements:
case 'content_blog_category':
$description = new mosCategory( $database );
$description->load( $menu->componentid );
break;
//Insert New Code HERE **************
default:
$menu->componentid = 0;
break;
Code: Select all
case 'content_section':
$description = new mosCategory( $database );
$description->load( $id );
// Dynamic Page Title
$mainframe->SetPageTitle( $description->name );
if ( $header ) { $header = $description->name; }
break;
Save the file and replace the old one.
The next file is in the backend: content_section.xml
found at: administrator/components/com_menus/content_section/content_section.xml
after line# 113 enter in this:
Code: Select all

Save and replace over the old file
Now just log into the admin backend and goto the menu item that is your Table-Content Section and edit it. you'll see the blog Category options at the bottom of the Parameters. select Link to Blog Categories: yes and you'll be set to jet!!!
This looks like a lot, but believe me, if I can do it, you can too!
Good luck!
I check the samlple link but seemed normal Joomla to me.
