Need bread crumb schema for our site

[wajake41]

Does Miva have a module that will create a bread crumb schema for our PROD page or do I need to create it using template code?
We have bread curmbs on the PROD page I just need a way to create a schema from it.
Cheers, Larry

Update: Asked ChatGPT about this and got a solution?
The result validates at https://schemavalidator.org/validate...schema?tab=url so I presume it is valid?

Chat's answer:
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "BreadcrumbList",
"itemListElement": [
{
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 1,
"name": "Home",
"item": "https://www.orange-traffic-cones.com/SFNT.html"
},
{
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 2,
"name": "&mvte:category:name;",
"item": "&mvte:category:url;"
},
{
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 3,
"name": "&mvte:product:name;"
}
]
}
</script>

Opinions anyone.
Cheers, Larry

Oops, fpund an issue. The Miva generated breadcrumb is truncating the product name.
Example from page source: Lakeside Plastics 1850-00 18 inch O...

<div id="page-header"> <div id="breadcrumbs"><ul>

<li><a href="https://www.orange-traffic-cones.com/SFNT.html" class="breadcrumb-home">Home</a><span class="breadcrumb-border">&raquo;</span></li>

<li><a href="https://www.orange-traffic-cones.com...fficcones.html">Cones</a><span class="breadcrumb-border">&raquo;</span></li>

<li><span class="current-item">Lakeside Plastics 1850-00 18 inch O...</span></li>

</ul>

I need to use the abbreviated name in my breadcrumb schema as the schema must match the breadcrumb path exactly. So I need to find and modify the Miva breadcrumb template code for the Miva breadcrumb or somehow create the same abbreviated product name Miva variable for my schema.
Looking for help on doing this.
Thanks, Larry

Found the solution. In Miva breadcrumb creation the product name length can be limited. I removed the limiting length and now my breadcrumb product name is the same as the pages breadcrumb product name.

Larry, FWIW, ChatGPT and I don't do "Miva" very well at all. But I have had successes with it and JavaScript. I guess we need to keep feeding the beast...

I''m using Chat with everything I code. Principally PHP and JS. Even with Miva template code as seen above. BTW I got the breadcrumb schema working on 2 of our sites (with help from Miva support) and Google has rewarded us with an additional Rich Reward. It's been a good day!

A bit more on Chat. Ran our Prod page through the Googhle Rich Rewards validator and Google said there was an error in our breadcrumb schema. Copied the generated schema code from PROD page source, opened the Chat side bar in Edge and copied the code into Chat asking what was wrong. Chat took a second and pointed out the error. Missing " in my JSON. Gotta love that Chat ;)

Final solution:
<mvt:comment> added bread crumbs 8/30/26 </mvt:comment>
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "BreadcrumbList",
"@id": "https://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/PROD/&mvt:product:code;.html#breadcrumb",
"itemListElement": [
{
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 1,
"name": "Home",
"item": "&mvt:breadcrumbs:homelink;"
},
{
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 2,
"name": "&mvte:category:name;",
"item": "&mvt:breadcrumbs:links[1]:link;"
},
{
"@type": "ListItem",
"position": 3,
"name": "&mvt:breadcrumbs:links[2]:name;",
"item": "&mvt:breadcrumbs:links[2]:link;"
}
]
}
</script>

Google gave us a Rich Reward, for whatever that's worth, after adding this breadcrumb schema to our site.
We also added an Organization schema to our site and scored another Rich Reward.

IMHO the breadcrumb schema should be created by Miva as a service to all it's clients. Would be easy for them to do.

This is actually built into the Shadows Framework. Shadows is shipped with a JavaScript Resource called "json-ld". The resource is added to the "footer_js" Resource Group and rendered in the Global Footer of the Shadows Framework.

Here is the breadcrumb section of the file: https://github.com/mivaecommerce/sha...ld.mvt#L37-L55

It is possible so add the "json-ld" to any framework as it is not specific to the Shadows Framework.

Thanks for the reply on this Nick, I wanted a Miva generated breadcrumb schema instead of building it myself.

I tried the Miva breadcode script. It has an error detected by both Google Rich Result and ChatGPT.
Chat found this error:
Invalid JSON — there is a stray comma before the BreadcrumbList object
code line 38 has the ,
I removed the comma and the result was accepted by Google and Chat
