Taxonomy breadcrumb token

About

Core and contrib tokens already do a great job in providing precious meta information on Drupal entities. However, creating a hierarchical breadcrumb from the root term down (or up) to and especially including the current term with a single token is impossible unless you wanted to create custom code snippets as a workaround.

This module is intended to fill just this gap as handy as possible and thus introduces two additional term related tokens:

• [term:breadcrumb]
• [term:breadcrumb-reverse]

Where the first one returns an array starting with the root term, the latter starting with the current term.

Requirements

All you need is:

• Enable core taxonomy module (you would not be here without that!)
• token module

Quick reference

Just enable the module and create some tokenizable content. You will find the two new tokens in the token browser, supporting all array-related options the token module offers.

Example

If you have a hierarchichal vocabulary like this one:

[Vocab]
|
+- Grocery
   |
   +- Vegetables
   |
   +- Fruits
   |  |
   |  +- Apples
   |  |
   |  +- Pears
   |
   +- Drinks

Then inserting [term:breadcrumb:join: > ] e.g. as page title in the metatag module would result in Grocery > Fruits > Apples while [term:breadcrumb-reverse:join: / ] would deliver Apples / Fruits / Grocery.
