Breadcrumb sorting?

[entrepre7]

When a customer is in a category, goes to the product then uses the breadcrumb to get back to the category they lose the place and sorting.

I see where the smart breadcrumb stuff is. Is there a way that the breadcrumb can remember? If so is that the correct spot?

Re: Breadcrumb sorting?

Two ways to do this.

1) Make sure the sorting options are passed to product page in the link then change smart breadcrumbs to that the sorting settings is passed back. this means you will have to change the smart breadcrumbs link from the automatic setting show here and create the href yourself.

<a href="&mvt:cats:link;">

2) The simpler way would be to save the sorting value in a cookie using Toolbelt or Toolkit. the logic works like this.
If the sort value has been set when the page loads set save the cookie else read the cookie and restore the value.
