Breadcrumb Navigation #FeatureRequest

Many of my clients want to display their business features via parallel tabs (I guess it’s called Breadcrumb navigation). This feature is only available to Wix eCommerce websites, but this is quite essential feature that should be made available to use in any website.

With tabs it becomes easier and professional way of showing business features of clients. Without which it creates unwanted long pages with compulsory scrolling.

Thanks for this #FeatureRequest Ashish!

You can easily make a breadcrumb navigation using a repeater! I’ve done it on some projects I’ve worked with.

Hello, Can you share the link of the website? I think we have different things in mind about breadcrumb navigation. What I mean about Breadcrumb navigation is that the tabs are visible on top and you can switch from one tab to another for information display.

@ashishmakwana Yes I understood what you are trying to make. For example underneath the header to have something like:

Home > Information > Documentation

which are clickable and take you to the specific page. Correct?

@webolut Select English as language in following URL and check “Upcoming events” and “Past events” tabs.

Let me know if that is something you have created using repeater element. I don’t think that is possible and this is what called breadcrumb navigation.

@ashishmakwana I see now, it is kinda funny because I just created one for one my side project websites. It is pretty simple just do the following:

1)Create the buttons first
2)The add a slideshow strip element underneath and set each slide to display the content you want
3) Then assign a click function on each button to display the desired slide when clicked.

$w("#myElement").onClick( (event) => {
   $w("#mySlideshow").changeSlide(0); // for slide one       
   $w("#mySlideshow").changeSlide(1); // for slide two and so on 
} );

Have requested this months ago… Thanks for bringing this up again.

This is possible to do, check my replies to Ashish Makwana.

Thank you for the heads up. I know that i can manually make one, but i was looking for something that would update automatically if my site tree changes.

@webolut Thank you very much. This will help.

You are welcome, glad I saved you countless of hours of stress and agony trying to find a solution!

YES! THIS! I have seen Konstantinos’ reply to Ashish, but my issue is the same as Roma’s - I’d like it to be responsive if my site changes.

This feature will make it simpler for users to navigate without cluttering up my main menu with tons of pages. Specifically, in one of my sites I have a gallery that opens links to pages that are hidden from my main menu when the images are clicked. I want a breadcrumb navigation trail to be available so that site users can go back to the gallery without needing to use the browser’s back button.

What would be even better is a feature that allows a #minimenu within these pages so that they can check out other image pages without even needing to go back to the main gallery.

Again, I know that I can do this manually but that would take forever and would need to be updated for EACH page every time the menu changes…which is once a month.

TL;DR: I would also like #responsive mini menus or #breadcrumb navigation in the #classic editor.

This is needed

Thank you all for your response… It is been more than a year now since I posted this and I don’t think think anyone from Wix is bothered to look into it. I mean its not that hard to create it and make it drag and drop element in Wix editor. I know it is possible with coding, but many designers are using direct Wix elements from left side panel and it would be a much less mess for millions of such people, if that is right there to pick and add in the site.

I think if anyone from Wix is serious about adding such valuable features, they must have done it by now. I have given up hope also.

Hey everyone

My name’s Alex and I’m a new product manager in the components group here at wix… it’s a pleasure to meet and join the community :slight_smile:
We’re currently starting a research effort in order to bring a breadcrumbs component to the editor :muscle:

@ashishmakwana - I’m sorry for the frustration you feel, and I don’t know what was in the past, but I would love to hear your thoughts about the breadcrumbs component in order to make sure we take your input and needs into consideration while developing it…

@webolut - I would also love to see an example of how you used a repeater to create the breadcrumbs…

Actually any examples of workarounds would be amazing to see… If anyone has an example of how you currently implemented breadcrumbs or other solutions you used instead it would be really great if you could share it… :pray:
Feel free to message me any other feedback regarding the breadcrumb component…

Thanks :slight_smile:

Hello Alex,

thank your for your response… I do not understand what you asked… The thing is that breadcrumb features are being demanded by many clients as they want to showcase their projects, events, etc. in a navigational tab (breadcrumbs)… as of now in editor, it is only available in e commerce templates and not otherwise…

Example is like switching to tabs like for events in this website…

https://konferencijos.vz.lt/

Such navigational element should be included as a drag and drop in Wix editor… Just like we can simply drag repeaters, slideshows, gallery etc.

Hey @ashishmakwana ,

I apologize it took me so long to answer, I was unavailable due to personal reasons.

It seems we are talking about two different things. One is breadcrumbs , and the other is tabs .

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems to me you are talking about tabs - the ability to have two (or more) elements (could be complex as the lists of events in your example) that you can switch between using buttons…

Unfortunately, my current task is the breadcrumbs component so I can not assist you with this. But I agree that this is indeed a very important and useful component, and I will talk with my team and see what is the status with it.

In the meantime, if you haven’t already, please vote for the tabs feature request . This helps us prioritise what to build next, and every vote counts! Also, it will allow us to notify you when it is implemented :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot :pray:
