I have developed the breadcrumb plugin for q2a which helps in Better SEO and easy navigation . That supports all q2a pages and can be translated into all supported languages . 

It is available for free now . Download it here

What is a breadcrumb in websites ?

A “breadcrumb” is a type of secondary navigation scheme that reveals the user’s location in a website or Web application.

Why We Need a Breadcrumb Plugin for a QA WebSite - 

The most improtant thing is Better SEO

According to SEO Experts , if you are maintainning a huge website then you should take care of making it better organized and Easy navigation .

No doubt the QA sites are really big having 500+ pages of questions (usually almost all) and well structured with Categories and Tags . And This breadcrumb plugin will give you better accessibility and Navigation for your website . 

From a search engine point of view; Google actually displays the breadcrumbs in the search results giving you more links in each search listing, which is a positive thing. It Provides another mechanism to highlight important keywords for the search engines to note in your navigation.

Also it adds content relevancy to your pages and adds on-page SEO emphasis that highlights specific anchor text rich linking to internal pages.

Click here to download all screenshots . 

To sum up, these are the features of the breadcrumb plugin :

  • Supports all q2a pages , plugin pages and also all costum pages with beatiful icons 
  • Option to choose weather to display the home link or not 
  • Option to truncate the Question title 
  • Option to enable / disable the last elemet link 
  • Option to enable / disable the icons 
  • CSS customization
  • Very simple installation:
  1. Copy the plugin folder in the qa-plugin folder
  2. Go to Admin -> Plugins section -> Choose required options and click save 
  3. Go to Admin -> Layout -> Breadcrumbs - add widget -> then add the widget to a proper position 
  • Full internationalization support: Every piece of text the plugin uses can be translated to other language . 

How much it costs you ??

IT IS FREE and OPENSOURCE now . 

You can download the full version from the store - http://q2astore.com/product/breadcrumbs/

Thankyou foir the fixes

I wonder what this option does as the description seems to be missing msomething.

I mean what are we supposed to put in that textbox?

 

 

also in mobile view turns to bullet points

by
the text box is the truncate length buddy . Suppose your Question title is too long .
Eg : "How to push code to GitHub and How do I merge them using Command Line tool blah blah" . And it will break the layout if it is too large . If you make the truncate length is 30(suppose) then the title will come like this .
Result title - "How to push code to GitHub..."

Hope this helps
by
I think I need to make the leble bit more descriptive . :P
by
For the mobile view , some resets might be there in the CSS . I did the CSS file to match the default Snow theme . You can edit the CSS file inside the plugin code to match you needs .
I will do for this new theme after its release (Noted).
Thanks for the help in finding bugs .

After decent success of this plugin , I am now developing a new version with more improvements . 

Here are the latest updates 

  1. Completely rewritten for better code and performance 
  2. CSS improvements with responsiveness
  3. Different css files for different themes 
  4. compatible with q2a 1.7 
  5. removed the icons hence much faster loading 

I need few volunteers who can help me in testing . 

 

It is being developed here - https://github.com/amiyasahu/q2a-breadcrumbs/tree/dev

 

Please test it in your dev site and let me know if you are facing any issues here
