Q: remove category link in breadcrumb

I've seen only a couple heavily moderated forums that do this.
I'd like to remove the link to a category forum, on the breadcrumb
Been searching for a while can't find an a way to do this.

Replace entire content of navbar_link
with:

Code:

<if condition="$show['breadcrumb']">
      <span class="navbar">&gt;
        <if condition="!in_array($nav_title, array('Category Name', 'Another Category Name', 'Yet Another One', 'Etc Etc', 'And this one too'))">
          <a href="$nav_url">$nav_title</a>
        <else />
           $nav_title
        </if>
      </span>
    <else />
      $nav_title
  </if>

Replace code in red with the actual name of your categories:


Note: Your Categories and Forums can't have the same name otherwise your forum will unlink in breadcrumb as well.

do you have an example of what this looks like?

I would like to remove not just the hyperlink from the category name, but I'd like to remove the category name itself, too. I modified the above code as follows:

Code:

<if condition="$show['breadcrumb']">
    <span class="navbar">&gt;
    <if condition="!in_array($nav_title, array('General', 'Software Brands', 'Private Area'))">
        <a href="$nav_url">$nav_title</a>
    </if>
    </span>
<else />
    $nav_title
</if>

This accomplishes the removal of the category name in the breadcrumbs, however it leaves an extra character (>) behind, so there are two (>>) characters there. It looks something like this:

* Site Name > > Forum Name

* Thread Title

How can I remove one of the (>) characters? Or is there a better way to accomplish this?

My version: vbulletin 3.8.4

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I solved my issue with just moving the "> " (including one space)

Code:

<if condition="$show['breadcrumb']">
    <span class="navbar">
    <if condition="!in_array($nav_title, array('General', 'Software Brands', 'Private Area'))">
        &gt; <a href="$nav_url">$nav_title</a>
    </if>
    </span>
<else />
    $nav_title
</if>
