Attached are two files, who have the same records, but different results once live. Essentially, I'm trying to develop an automated breadcrumb using this tab navigation that I have set up.

The code in question is line 140 in about1.php and line 131 in program1.php, both in the "<div id="breadcrumb">"

To see the different numeric results with the database, go to: emeritihealth.org/about1.php and emeritihealth.org/program1.php

Note that the "about" page lists the numbers properly, while the "program" page doesn't. I added entries to the "program" page later and changed the order, unlike the "about" page, so that's why I'm thinking the numeric order has to do with creation date or date modified, rather than sequential order in the CMS.

Hi Meg,

I've been taking a look into this issue. If I look at about1.php for example, I can see where you're outputting a link manually that links to about.php. On about.php, I see the "tabbed" breadcrumb that uses javascript.
How is that being created? What is different between about.php and about1.php? Could you attach a copy of about.php so I can compare?

If you could help to clarify the issue you're experiencing, I can look into this further.

Thanks

Oh right now, in about.php, I'm manually updating the breadcrumbs in a WYSIWYG within the CMS form. I just started development to automate the breadcrumb in the about1.php but I got stumped when I wasn't able to generate a correct numeric value for the sequential order of the multi-listings that make up the accordion menu and tab navigation. When I used the <?php echo $record['num'] ?> in about1.php, it did properly generate the sequential numbers I was looking for, but when I tried implementing it on the other tabbed pages on the website, like the program1.php (a test URL), I did not get the same results. (You can also see it within the individuals1.php and the institutions1.php) The only reason I can gather this is occurring is because it's using the creation date to generate this numeric values, rather than the sequential order as it appears in the multi-listing within the CMS. Do I need to modify the Order By value to get this to work properly or do you have another solution or suggestion?

I will try this and let you know shortly.

Yes, these entries have the potential to move around all the time, so I need them to correlate with the sequential order as seen in the multi-listing view of the CMS. The Javascript that creates the tab navigation uses the sequential order of the multi-listings to generate the direct tab links.

Ok, I'm a little confused on how to integrate this option you're providing. So this just generates a string of sequential numbers that aren't associated with the records? Please explain.
