Problem in creating breadcrumb particle in Twig for Gantry5 ( joomla)

[nkont]

I am trying to create a breadcrumb particle for my theme in joomla. The framework I am using is Gantry 5 with a Rocket Theme template. I found a php code to get the idea of how to create the breadcrumbs which is https://www.kittell.net/code/php-create ... readcrumb/. So I created in Custom file in the tempalte directory, my twig file with the following code:

Code: Select all

{% extends '@nucleus/partials/particle.html.twig' %}

{% macro  breadcrumb(seperator="&raquo", home="Home") %}
  {% set path = [parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH|split('/')] %}

{# build our "base URL #}
{% set base = _SERVER['HTTPS'] ? 'https' : 'http' ~ '://' ~ _SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] ~ '/' %}
{% set breadcrumbs = ["<a href="~base~">"~home~"</a>"] %} 

{#Find out the index for the last value in  path array #}
{% set last = path|last %}

{# Build the rest of the breadcrumbs #}
{% for x,crumb in path %} 
{#  "title"  will be displayed (strip out .php and turn '_' into a space #}
{% set title = ucwords(str_replace([('.php', '_'), [('', ' '), crumb]] ) %}
  {% if (x != last) %}
    {#  If we are not on the last index, then display an <a> tag #}
    {% set breadcrumbs = "<a href="~base~crumb~">"~title~"</a>" %}
    {% else %} 
    {# Otherwise, just display the title #}
    {% set breadcrumbs = title %}
  {% endif %}               
{% endfor %}
{% set final = [separator,breadcrumbs]|join %}
{% endmacro %}

{% import _self as result %}

and then I tried to import it in my block:

Code: Select all

{% block particle %}                     
 <div class="breadcrumb_particle{{ particle.css.class }}" role="navigation">    
  {{ result.breadcrumb(final) }}  
</div>
{% endblock %}

Of course I get the message Error while rendering breadcrumb_particle particle. SInce I am only 2 days old in twig and particle development, I dont know if my syntax is wrong or the whole idea, or both XD. Any help would be much appreciated.

Is there any reason why you want to use this instead of Joomla's own breadcrumb module?

@Mr. Wimpy Because my team does not like the fact that breadcrumbs get their styles from joomla itself and not from the theme as the other particles that we used. I don't really know if this makes sense but yeah, it is what it is XD
