How to enable hierarcical breadcrumb in Dokuwiki

Hierarchical breadcrumb is useful if your DokuWiki site's content is well organized into strict hierarchical namespaces. It will tell you where you are, and you can track your location back to the main page.

This is good for user experience, and useful for SEO as well, as it distributes link juice/PageRank between other pages in the site.

Use the following URL if the link is not available in your template.

http://www.yourwiki.com/doku.php?do=admin&page=config

You will need to log in if you're not already are.

Find the option in the Display Settings→Hierarchical breadcrumbs section.

Make sure the option is ticked.

If your template don't already have tpl_youarehere() function called where you expect the hierarcical breadcrumb to appear, add this line to the template's main.php file.

    <?php if($conf['youarehere']){?>
    <div class="breadcrumbs">
      <?php tpl_youarehere() ?>
    </div>
    <?php }?>
