About Structured Data Breadcrumb View Helper
============================================

[](#about-structured-data-breadcrumb-view-helper)

This is a TYPO3 Fluid view helper extension that renders structured data for the breadcrumb.

> This TYPO3 extension is obsolete. Use [EXT:schema](https://github.com/brotkrueml/schema) instead. It provides a breadcrumb view helper with the same functionality.

Migration to the schema extension
---------------------------------

[](#migration-to-the-schema-extension)

With the [schema extension](https://github.com/brotkrueml/schema) you can't just have the breadcrumb as structured markup. You'll also get an API and many more view helpers to add, for example, organisations, persons, videos, job postings and many more types to your site in a structured way.

The migration is easy. Just replace

```

```

with

```

```

in your Fluid template. That's it.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

The extension supports TYPO3 v8 LTS, TYPO3 v9 LTS, TYPO3 v10 LTS and TYPO3 v11 LTS.

Why should you use this extension?
----------------------------------

[](#why-should-you-use-this-extension)

Structured data enriches your content for search engines. The breadcrumb shows independently of the page tree the website hierarchy and categorization. With this view helper you can render a [breadcrumb list](https://schema.org/BreadcrumbList) according to [schema.org](https://schema.org/).

You can find more information about the benefits of structured breadcrumb markup and examples in the [Google feature guide](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/breadcrumb).

> If you want more than just include the breadcrumb as structured markup in your page, use the [schema extension](https://github.com/brotkrueml/schema). With it, you can use an API or view helpers to output any content in a structured way. You can also migrate easily to the schema extension. have a look below.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Installation via Composer

[](#installation-via-composer)

The recommended way to install this extension is by using Composer. In your Composer based TYPO3 project root, just do

```
composer require brotkrueml/sdbreadcrumb

```

### Installation as extension from TYPO3 Extension Repository (TER)

[](#installation-as-extension-from-typo3-extension-repository-ter)

Download and install the extension with the extension manager module.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The view helper can be used in your Fluid template with the following syntax:

```

```

Just throw the result of the menu processor for the special property `rootline` from your TypoScript page object into the view helper, e.g.:

```
page.10 = FLUIDTEMPLATE
page.10 {
    // ... Your other configuration

    dataProcessing {
        10 = TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\DataProcessing\MenuProcessor
        10 {
            special = rootline
            as = breadcrumb
        }
    }
}

```

By default the first entry - which is the start page - is stripped off, so it won't be shown in the structured data (which is not needed). You can change this behaviour with the additional parameter `stripFirstItem':

```

```

As the result of the menu processor for the rootline is an array of an array, you can use your own generated structure, e.g. for categories:

```
$myBreadcrumb = [
    [
        'link' => '/',
        'title' => 'Start page',
    ],
    [
        'link' => '/category-1/',
        'title' => 'Category 1',
    ],
    [
        'link' => '/subcategory-1-1/',
        'title' => 'Subcategory 1-1',
    ],
];

```

The result will be in the compact JSON-LD format:

```

{
    "@context": "http://schema.org",
    "@type": "BreadcrumbList",
    "itemListElement": [
        {
            "@type": "ListItem",
            "position": 1,
            "item": {
                "@type": "WebPage",
                "@id": "https://example.org/category-1/",
                "name": "Category 1"
            }
        },
        {
            "@type": "ListItem",
            "position": 2,
            "item": {
                "@type": "WebPage",
                "@id": "https://example.org/subcategory-1-1/",
                "name": "Subcategory 1-1"
            }
        }
    ]
}

```

You can test the generated structured data in the [Structured Data Testing Tool](https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool).

Using the XML Schema (XSD) for Validation in your Template
----------------------------------------------------------

[](#using-the-xml-schema-xsd-for-validation-in-your-template)

It is possible to assist your code editor on suggesting the tag name and the possible attributes. Just add the `sdb` namespace to the root of your Fluid template:

```

```

The relevant part is the namespace declaration (`xmlns:sdb="http://typo3.org/ns/Brotkrueml/Sdbreadcrumb/ViewHelpers"`). The content of the `sdb:schemaLocation` attribute points to the recent XSD definition.

You can also import the XSD file into your favorite IDE, it is shipped with the extension. You can find the file in the folder `Resources/Private/Schemas/`.
