How to add a breadcrumb to any Magento page.

>> Here's a easy solution to add breadcrumb to any page. In core block page find _prepareLayout() method.

    <?php
        public function _prepareLayout()
        {
            $breadcrumbs = $this->getLayout()->getBlock('breadcrumbs');
            $breadcrumbs->addCrumb('home', array('label'=>Mage::helper('vendor')->__('GEAR WAREHOUSE'),
                                            'title'=>Mage::helper('vendor')->__('Home Page'), 'link'=>Mage::getBaseUrl()));
            $breadcrumbs->addCrumb('my_account', array('label'=>Mage::helper('vendor')->__('My Account'),
                                            'title'=>Mage::helper('vendor')->__('My Account'), 'link'=>Mage::getBaseUrl().'customer/account'));
                                           
            $breadcrumbs->addCrumb('my_classified', array('label'=>Mage::helper('vendor')->__('Classified'),
                                            'title'=>Mage::helper('vendor')->__('My Classified'), 'link'=>Mage::getBaseUrl().'vendor'));
                                           
            $breadcrumbs->addCrumb('an_alias', array('label'=>'Edit',
                                            'title'=>'Edit Classified', 'link'=>''));
        }
    ?>
   
    By using addCrumb() method you can set your breadcrumb to any page. In your phtml page you've to write the following code :
   
    <?php echo $this->getLayout()->getBlock('breadcrumbs')->toHtml(); ?>
   
    By default this code is written in layout page. (e.g. 1column.phtml)
