# Breadcrumbs – Wrapping Function Name into current breadcrumbs code

 * Hi,
 * A breadcrumbs question. I have included the code found here for the breadcrumbs
   in my function.php as instructed. [http://tri.be/using-conditionals-to-show-breadcrumbs-for-events-and-venues/](http://tri.be/using-conditionals-to-show-breadcrumbs-for-events-and-venues/).
 * I am having trouble wrapping the function statement tribe_breadcrumbs(); into
   my current breadcrumbs code which is:
 *  <div id=”page-content”>
    <?php // Breadcrumbs if ( ($udesign_options[‘show_breadcrumbs’]
   == ‘yes’) && class_exists(‘simple_breadcrumb’) ) : ?> <div class=”container_24″
   > <?php $breadcrumbs_go = new simple_breadcrumb; ?> </div> <?php else : ?> <div
   class=”no-breadcrumbs-padding”></div> <?php endif; ?> <?php endif;
 * Can someone tell me how I need to modify my statement to make it work. Currently
   the breadcrumb will pull an event when the main calendar shows.
    Home → Essential
   Oils Chemical Compounds
 *  I need to it to look like this for the main calendar with no specific event 
   listed.
    Home → Events
 * Thanks for your help in advance.

 * Hey Manning. Thanks for your note here, and for using The Events Calendar. While
   I’m not sure about this one myself (it’s a bit outside my area of expertise),
   I have asked Jonah – who wrote that tut you linked to – if he can comment here
   directly to try and point you in the right direction.
 * No guarantees, but we’ll do what we can. Stay tuned and thanks for your patience
   so far.

 * Thank you very much. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. I checked
   with a friend and they said to possibly wrap it in an include statement which
   would call an external php file. (i.e. include events.php). I would need to know
   the code to put in the events.php file if an include or require statement will
   work.
 * Let me know when you find out something. I have a little bit of time before my
   launch so I have some flexibility. Mid Feb is launch time so I will need to figure
   out a solution by then. I am interested in purchasing the pro version and facebook
   add-on but wanted to get the breadcrumbs issue sorted first.
 * Thanks again.

 * We should be able to get a response much quicker than your deadline – hoping 
   to have Jonah take a look at some point this afternoon, as this is the first 
   on his list of dot-org threads.

 * Hi Manning,
 * It looks like you are using an entirely different breadcrumb function. In which
   case you’ll need to dig into that function and add specific conditional code 
   to check for specific events pages like I used in the tribe_breadcrumbs() function.
   You should be able to use similar conditional code but you’ll likely need to 
   change some of the other code to output the breadcrumbs however the simple_breadcrumb()
   function does that.
 * Sorry I can’t offer up more here. Good luck!

 * Hi Robb and Jonah,
 * I will dig through that function in my functions.php file and see if I can include
   an “include or require” statement, within the function using the conditional 
   statements that I saw in another post. I am meeting with someone on Wednesday
   of next week who is a bit more advanced than me in php so I am hoping he and 
   I working together can get it sorted out.
 * Thanks for getting back to me. If I have more questions, I will post them here
   or if I get it figured out I will also post the solution here for others
 * Thanks,
    Manning

   here. We will get it figured out, I am sure.

 * Hi Robb and Jonah,
 * Here is the simple breadcrumb code that is called using the function listed at
   the top. Do you know just from looking at it how, what, and where I could add
   your conditional statements? No worries, if not, I am still meeting with my friend
   next week but thought this would provide some clues.
 * Let me know.

 * Hi Manning,
 * Here is generally what you’re going to want to do within the breadcrumbs function:
   [http://snippi.com/s/siesrlc](http://snippi.com/s/siesrlc)
 * I can’t spend time on the specifics of outputting the correct code for each condition
   but the conditions for the different event related pages should at least be in
   the right place in the code…
 * Hopefully that points you in the right direction.

 * Hi Jonah,
 * Thank you for this. I know you don’t have the time and I wouldn’t expect you 
   to write the code, however, can you give me a sample of a condition, say for 
   outputting the breadcrumb : Home > Events.
 * If I can get a sample condition statement I can write the others. I read code
   well but writing it from scratch is a bit challenging for me.
 * Thanks a million again!

 * Hi berestored,
 * I took a crack at it but it’s too complicated for me to be able to spend much
   time on. You should be able to use those conditional statements to detect event
   related pages and then modify the breadcrumb output, but I’m not sure why it’s
   not working. Sorry man, you’re on your own… Good luck!
