Hi!

The EPiServer Site Map Provider class is added to web.config and there is a parameter for the startpage that you can hard code to a page id. If it is not set it will use the start page as defined in siteSettings in web.config.

Enter the following section directly below (inside) the configuration/system.web node in Web.config. 

    <siteMap enabled="true">
      <providers>
        <add name="KnowledgeSiteMap" type="EPiServer.PageSiteMapProvider, EPiServer" startPageLink="3" />
      </providers>
    </siteMap>

This is an example of how you can create a breadcrumb:

<div id="BreadCrumbsMenu">
    <asp:SiteMapPath SiteMapProvider="KnowledgeSiteMap" SkipLinkText="" ID="SiteMapPathCtrl" runat="server">
        <RootNodeTemplate>
            <a href='<%# ((EPiServer.PageSiteMapNode)Container.SiteMapNode).CurrentPage["PageLinkURL"] %>'>Start</a>
        </RootNodeTemplate>
        <PathSeparatorTemplate>
            /
        </PathSeparatorTemplate>
    </asp:SiteMapPath>
</div>

Another way to consume it is the SitemapDataSource.

Hi and thank you for your reply, but it's not exactly what i was looking for, what I wanted to do is to set the "root node" with a dynamic property so the breadcrumb can have different root nodes depending on where on the site the user is at the moment...

For example if the user is under the product branch the breadcrumb starts at the product root node and if the user is under the news branch the breadcrub starts there.

In my project it worked well inheriting the asp:SiteMapPath control and add a "SkipLevels" parameter and skip the x first levels.
