breadcrumb navigation would be awesome from a usability standpoint. i keep getting confused how i get places, and there isn't always a quick way back :)

The client area already has this. As far as the admin area, well, I dont see the need. Maybe im missing something.

My client area doesn't..but it hasn't bothered me enough to find out why...maybe I'll check now. :)

Are you running 2.5.5? It has breadcrumbs, just check the demos

Yeah, 2.5.5, I've seen it in the demo, so I know it has it...probably something to do with my modified header template.

** EDIT:

Yep, that's what it was. I had accidentally removed the following line from my header:


{$LANG.globalyouarehere}: {$breadcrumbnav}</p>

Yeah, I was talkin about in the admin area. I keep getting lost several levels deep.

Hmm, i dont really see multiple levels when it comes to the admin area. Breadcrumbs none the less can be great. To bad we cant make our own admin themes.

Hi,

It would be quite difficult to add this but if people would find it useful I can certainly add it.

Regards,

Matt

It's not a huge deal, but from a usability perspective it would help me remember where I'm at. There is so much going on in the admin area I get lost. Granted I've only been messing with the system for a few days.

It could just go under (or above) the blue page title goes now...

it could be something like:

Home » Configuration » Email Templates » Edit: Hosting Account Welcome Email

w/links back. Although if the framework you have in place doesn't allow for this to happen easily, it may not be worth it. Thanks for taking it into consideration, at least.
