Symfony 2 breadcrumbs based on KnpMenuBundle (KnpMenu 2.1)

README.md

If you are using KnpMenu > 2.1, you can directly use this feature:

• PR: KnpLabs/KnpMenu#228
• Doc: https://github.com/KnpLabs/KnpMenu/blob/master/doc/02-Twig-Integration.markdown#functions

You can use it like this:

<ol class="breadcrumb">
{% for breadcrumb_item in knp_menu_get_breadcrumbs_array(knp_menu_get_current_item('main')) %}
    {% if not loop.last %}
    <li><a href="{{ breadcrumb_item.uri }}">{{ breadcrumb_item.label }}</a></li>
    {% else %}
    <li class="active">{{ breadcrumb_item.label }}</li>
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ol>

base.html.twig

{{ knp_menu_render('main', {'template': ':Menu:breadcrumb.html.twig'}) }}

breadcrumb.html.twig

<ol class="breadcrumb">
{% for breadcrumb_item in knp_menu_get_breadcrumbs_array(knp_menu_get_current_item(item)) %}
    {% if not loop.last %}
    <li><a href="{{ breadcrumb_item.uri }}">{{ breadcrumb_item.label }}</a></li>
    {% else %}
    <li class="active">{{ breadcrumb_item.label }}</li>
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ol>

services.yml

services:
    app.menu.builder:
        class: AppBundle\Menu\Builder
        arguments:
            - '@knp_menu.factory'
        tags:
            - { name: knp_menu.menu_builder, method: createMainMenu, alias: main }

    app.twig.menu_extension:
        class: AppBundle\Twig\MenuExtension
        arguments:
            - '@knp_menu.helper'
            - '@knp_menu.matcher'
        tags:
            - { name: twig.extension }

@leperse I don't think there is an issue with the code since I don't implement the way of checking if the item is the current one but use the knp_menu.matcher service provided by KnpMenu. You should implement your own matcher if the default one don't work as you expected.
