douglaswalker Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Hi there hoping to pick the brains of SEO interested people here. Breadcrumbs currently show as Home > Page you came from > page you are on Or something similar. The schema picks all this up and it passes the schema test at Google. However the page you are on is shown as a link in the breadcrumb.. so in effect it is just linking to it's self. Is this ok for SEO... many things I have read say a page linking to itself is not such a good idea. So my question is if I don't want it to be a link and just plain text how can i do this and still have it pass the schema test. I know I can just change the breadcrumb link in the code and remove the tep_href part but then the schema doesn't pass as the breadcrumb relies on a function to produce the correctly formatted schema and that relies on the link anyway any thoughts? schema function <?php /* $Id$ osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions http://www.oscommerce.com Copyright (c) 2003 osCommerce Released under the GNU General Public License */ class breadcrumb { var $_trail; function breadcrumb() { $this->reset(); } function reset() { $this->_trail = array(); } function add($title, $link = '') { $this->_trail[] = array('title' => $title, 'link' => $link); } function trail($separator = NULL) { $pos = 1; $trail_string = '<ol itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/BreadcrumbList" class="breadcrumb">'; for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($this->_trail); $i<$n; $i++) { if (isset($this->_trail[$i]['link']) && tep_not_null($this->_trail[$i]['link'])) { $trail_string .= '<li itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ListItem"><a href="' . $this->_trail[$i]['link'] . '" itemprop="item"><span itemprop="name">' . $this->_trail[$i]['title'] . '</span></a>'; } else { $trail_string .= '<li itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ListItem"><span itemprop="name">' . $this->_trail[$i]['title'] . '</span>'; } $trail_string .= '<meta itemprop="position" content="' . (int)$pos . '" /></li>' . PHP_EOL; $pos++; } $trail_string .= '</ol>'; return $trail_string; } } ?> code on page to call function $breadcrumb->add('Policies', tep_href_link('policies.php')); $breadcrumb->add('AfterPay', tep_href_link('afterpay.php')); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
