I've created a plugin for a client that has two methods, the first of which is called from within the home template:

{exp:kapitex:get_products_carousel products="111, 113, 38"}

... which creates a carousel based on 3 entries, one of Google's structured data types, which you'll see if you visit the website, view source, and do a search for: "ItemList".

while the second should create a breadcrumb element, and is placed in the products template:

{exp:kapitex:get_products_breadcrumb product="{entry_id}"}

During testing, the {entry_id} sent the correct value, as did sending a raw value (which is to be expected). However, because I'm having problems with the ".htaccess" file with the local development machine, I wasn't able to test the method within the products template, and instead had to use the home template.

We've published the plugin on the client website and the get_products_breadcrumb appears not to get called.

I replaced the code with:

public function get_products_breadcrumb () {
    echo "XXXXXXXX";
}

... cleared the caches and still nothing, so it's not the code in the method.

Any ideas what I've done wrong?

Have you tried return "XXXXXXX"; Instead of "echo"?

  • When I tried echo before it spat out at the top of the page. However, I gave return a go and it made no difference. Aug 9, 2017 at 12:15
  • echo will always add content to your page at the point at which the echo occurs. It won't inject that content into your template.
