inconsistant breadcrumb

    i have a site that has a lot of use of wp-types ie; custom post types ( “Attorney”) and taxonomies StatesCounty. The idea is to drill down states thru counties and find attorneys in that county.
    the breadcrumbs for a county page as in this url http://highersourcesites.com/prototype/california-counties/ shows the breadcrumb “USA-Probate > California Counties” with a following list of counties in california ( all counties listed). CLicking on a county takes you to the list of attorneys ( if any) and so for example for Alameda County url is http://highersourcesites.com/prototype/statecounty/california/alameda/
    with the breadcrumb

    USA-Probate > Attorneys > California > Alameda
    so two things here need attention –
    1. the second breadcrumb Attorneys should be removed, as it links to a random set of attorneys.
    2. more important, it lost the link to “California Counties” which would be their backup to where they were. Instead it has “California” which is not working right anyway.
    Please email me at [email protected] for a peek inside the site, if you can ($).

    From what I can tell in the linked page, the first issue appears to be resolved (let me know if this is not the case).

    The second issue is due to the fact that there isn’t a way to map the counties back to the page where you have the list of counties (since one is a taxonomy/set of terms, the other is a page post type instance). This is more of a WordPress problem than anything. There are ways of working around it (the best being using the taxonomy archive theme file, letting WordPress do the heavy lifting, rather than using a page for the taxonomy archive).

    i’m a bit dazed and confused over this one. between builder ( ithemes ) having the ability to create a layout only used for archives for example, and wp-views having an assortment of features , and the breadcrumb plugin there are dazzling array of things to operate from.
    yes the first problem i think is resolved, but the second one, the link that leads to a state as in this url http://highersourcesites.com/prototype/statecounty/california/alameda/ with breadcrumb USA-Probate > California > Alameda
    where the “California” link returns a page with not all attorneys in California, ( perhaps its missing pagination, dunno, maybe i can fix that).
    i put the breadcrumb code in archive.php, but perhaps that is not the taxonomy archive theme file, ( which one would that be?). using this method ( taxonomy archive theme file) i would have to create fifty such files, with appropriate code?. Lot of work for a breadcrumb if that were the case. I would have to throw out the concept of getting a breadcrumb altogether, or just remove the link to the states section. Just to simplify things. How would i do the simple thing – remove the “California” altogether, for all the states?

    For what you had earlier, you should have been able to create a taxonomy archive template file for your statecounty taxonomy type that would list the child terms for the current term rather than the normal loop. At least, that is how I would have approached this problem.
