Breadcrumb when navigating folders in a Sharepoint 2010 Document Library WebPart. (Pure JS, No jQuery, IE8+) Can be inserted via a "HTML Form Web Part" or referenced in a custom masterpage.

breadcrumbs.css

.ms-WPHeader .breadcrumbs{
	display:block;
	font-style:italic;
}
.ms-WPHeader .breadcrumbs,.ms-WPHeader .breadcrumbs a{
	font-size: 0.8em;
	color:#D1D1D1;
}

	// Get 'RootFolder' value in URL
	var rootStr = getUrlParam('RootFolder');    
	if (rootStr != '') {
		// Get all links in WebParts titles (IE8+)
		var webpartHeaders = document.querySelectorAll('.ms-WPTitle a');
		// For each link

    name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\\]");

I am having a few issues with this script. My document library is "Documents" and here is what displays on the page.

DocumentsHome

I would like it to either hide "Documents" or read "Documents | Home", etc

The further I go in, it changes to DocumentsHome > Folder(1) > SubFolder(2) > SubFolder(3)

The problem when going more than a few folders deep, when you click the breadcrumb to go back, it doesn't navigate back. So if I am at "SubFolder(3)" and click "Folder(1)" to go back, it doesn't go back, it just stays on the current folder/page.

Any suggestions? Thanks in Advance!

I am sorry, but I am new to SharePoint customization. Can you tell me where I can find specific instructions on how to implement these like your breadcrumb post? I'd really like to implement this but am not sure how to do that.

Thanks!

I made a small change to the code to get it to work in our environment... not sure if it's because I'm on SP2016 or because I'm on a wiki style page but this worked great:

			if(rootStr.indexOf(link) != -1){
				var path = rootStr.replace(link, ''); // Folder path, relative to Doc Lib
				var basepath = rootStr.replace(path, ''); // Doc Lib path
				
                                //2020-10-12 @mikezimm:  Added padding-left in span style to get some spacing
				var breadcrumb = '<span style="padding-left: 30px" class="breadcrumb">';

                                //2020-10-12 @mikezimm:  Change "Home" to "Top (to make less confusing to me)
				breadcrumb += '<a href="' + location.pathname + '">Top</a>'; // link to base page
				
				// Create link for each sub-folder
				var folders = path.split('/');
				for(var i = 1; i < folders.length; i++){
