I found an old post about problems using Joomla SEF and multiple menu links... I couldn't find a date for this post and no Joomla version was mentioned. I suspect this is the problem I am experiencing. I am using J3.3.6

I have a Multimedia Gallery Menu item, with two menu items under it (Photos and Videos). each of these displays a list of categories with a different parent category.

If I go to the Multimedia>Photos the breadcrumbs show as Home\Multimedia Gallery\Photos. If I click on a category I get:
Home\Multimedia Gallery\Photos\Multimedia\Photos\Gallery. This is how the breadcrumbs are supposed to work. I need to get it to ignore everything except the Gallery name. I have set the Menu component settings to display only the Gallery name.

It gets stranger when I select the second menu (Multimedia Gallery>Videos).

Here it shows Home\Multimedia Gallery\Videos. All fine. But if I click on a category the breadcrumbs now show:
Home\Multimedia Gallery\Photos\Multimedia\Videos\Gallery!

Actually, I've just noticed the SEF URL shows as /index.php/multimedia-gallery/photos/category/gallery... so probably is the SEF thing.

How can we fix this?

Thanks,

Hi, yes, this is caused by SEF and searching for the right menu link (if there are two, this can be a problem). Unfortunately this seems to be a problem only on specific serves, I have tried to simulate it on different server but never got such output so I cannot test and do some protection against it.

Try to see e.g. categories view:
components/com_phocagallery/views/categories/view.html.php

and at the bottom, there _prepareDocument method, there you can try to modify the code of the breadcrumbs data
