Gaining control over breadcrumbs

[chris.simons]

In our application, we are using a nested conversation model and the conversationList to provide breadcrumbs back to the user.

Our application is also...flexible; meaning there are many paths within the application that a user can take.

It would seem I need to have more control over the breadcrumbs; specifically, I wish there were a way to limit which breadcrumbs are shown by their level within the system.

Has anyone worked on taking the conversationList and making it more flexible?

I made my own breadcrumb output. Sure utilise whatever utilities SEAM provides but then do your own display/filtering mechanism.

Thanks for the reply; would you mind sharing some more specifics regarding your approach?

For example, one thought I've had is to include some additional breadcrumb information at the top of each of our pages.

The page template, which includes the breadcrumb trail, could then read this EL and alter the breadcrumb output accordingly.

I would be interested in any other approaches you might have to suggest.
