I am trying to integrate [breadcrumbs](https://onehippo-forge.github.io/breadcrumb/configuration.html). Here the configuration of our project is different from the one we currently have. The whole section listed under “HST Configurations” is differently implemented for us. Any other way of integrating it? ---

What do you mean by “different”? ---

There are no folders - “templates”/ “Components” inside our bootstrap\>configuration? I am using Hippo 10.2.11. ---

just put it in whatever folder your templates and components are. You are using unsupported CMS version BTW, but I guess you know that. ---

I was pointing to: [https://www.onehippo.org/about/release-notes/release-notes-overview.html](https://www.onehippo.org/about/release-notes/release-notes-overview.html) but 10.2.11 is still supported (in case you have premium support) ---

for documentation part, your best bet is to clone the project and generate documentation for your specific version locally, see: > **[bloomreach-forge/breadcrumb](https://github.com/bloomreach-forge/breadcrumb)** > > An HST component providing a site breadcrumb. Contribute to bloomreach-forge/breadcrumb development by creating an account on GitHub. ---

BTW, I just noticed there is no maintenance branch for 10.x version so you will need to do following: ``` git clone git@github.com:onehippo-forge/breadcrumb.git git checkout 27ff71ef26457590330d49fcc97604ae005289a2 mvn site:site ``` Then open target/site/configuration.html HTML file. ---

Thanks Machak. I will try this as well.

If you did you should have config page showing this: Component Parameters Name Description **breadcrumb-separator** A separator for the links that are displayed. **breadcrumb-menus** The first part of the breadcrumb is generated from the expanded sitemenu items of the menu named ‘main’ or from multiple menu’s as configured by this parameter. The last (“trailing”) part of the breadcrumb is generated from the resolved sitemap item belonging to the current request. The trailing items are based on the current resolved sitemap item and then moving upwards, until the deepest menu item is encountered. /m ---

I realized that something like is not required after all. Got breadcrumbs with only few lines of code. Thanks for your help. ---

Hi all, I am using version 4.12 with version 14.5 of bloomreach. I have installed it and configured it all based on these instructions: [https://bloomreach-forge.github.io/breadcrumb/install.html](https://bloomreach-forge.github.io/breadcrumb/install.html) [https://bloomreach-forge.github.io/breadcrumb/configuration.html](https://bloomreach-forge.github.io/breadcrumb/configuration.html) rebuilt using mvn clean verify then run the site locally with cargo, however When I reference the FTL I get thise error? > WARN http-nio-8080-exec-3 [DefaultPageErrorHandler.logWarningsForEachComponentExceptions:51] Component exception on org.bloomreach.forge.breadcrumb.components.BreadcrumbComponent : org.hippoecm.hst.core.component.HstComponentException: The component is not available. Not sure where to look to resolve this, is there another dependancy that is required?? Any help would be appreciated Thanks John ---

Anyone got breadcrumbs working using this component on Bloomreach or is there another way to achieve it? Thanks John ---

Hi, It’s probably better to start a new topic rather than asking your question in an old topic. The error you posted only tells me that the component was null. Are there any previous errors, possibly on startup? Obviously something is missing, but I can’t tell enough by the error you posted to know what is going on.
