breadcrumb trail is reset across controller boundaries

[weppos]

I'm sorry, but I didn't understand the issue.

Sorry.
PagesController excerpt:

class PagesController < ApplicationController

add_breadcrumb "home", :root_path

def aboutus
@title = 'About Us'
@wire_frames = %w(08)
add_breadcrumb bc_title, page_url
end

def contactus
@title = 'Contact Us'
@wire_frames = %w(07)
add_breadcrumb bc_title, page_url
end
..........

Case #1
Navigating from page to page will always render the breadcrumb trail as "Home > [current page]"; not "Home > page >next page > next page". You could say that is reasonable behaviour.

Case #2
If I navigate to another controller, say, "JobsController" all I get is the first add_breadcrumb from the jobs controller action and no prior breadcrumb history from the pages controller.

Clearly I am doing something wrong else I wouldn't have confused you. Is that how it is supposed to work, maybe? Or have I misunderstood something.

And I appreciate your help.

Breadcrumb navigation is intended to display current navigation status, not hold user navigation history. If the user requested JobsController#index, why would you display the breadcrumb navigation for PagesController#contact?

[roscom]

Yes, perhaps a bad example.
I think I may have the wrong understanding of the gem's purpose.
Can you point to an example where it is deployed as you intended?

[weppos]

I don't have any public example.
However, if you search for breadcrumbs_on_rails, there should be a few examples.
