How can I create a user macro that displays the breadcrumbs of the current page?

[Lavesh Budhrani]

I would like to display the pages under which the current page is nested in a breadcrumbs format along with the link.

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Can-we-link-to-a-confluence-page-using-the-path-of-that-page/qaq-p/1772485

This article was helpful to get the output but I would also need each of the pages in the breadcrumbs to have links.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

FYI, this is for Confluence Data Center version.

Hello @Lavesh Budhrani ~ if this is for DC, you could create a user macro (as opposed to a paid Marketplace app).  User macros aren't available in Cloud.  Here's an old post that may help (I haven't tested this):  https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/Add-breadcrumbs-to-a-page-with-a-user-macro/qaq-p/507751

I was able to use the following user macro code that displays the breadcrumbs in such a format:

Page Level 1 / Page Level 2 / Page Level 3 / Current Page

## @noparams

#set($breadcrumbs = "")
#set($breadcrumbSeperator = " / ")

#getBreadcrumbs($content.id)

$breadcrumbs

##recursive macro to get the path to page breadcrumbs
#macro( getBreadcrumbs $contentID )
    #set($thePage = $pageManager.getPage($contentID))
    
    #set($breadcrumbs = $thePage.getTitle() + $breadcrumbs)
    
    ## Does this iteration have a parent?
    #if($thePage.getParent())
        #set($breadcrumbs = $breadcrumbSeperator + $breadcrumbs)
        
        ## Get parent of this iteration
        #getBreadcrumbs($thePage.getParent().getContentId().asLong())
    #end
#end

I would like to enhance this code to make the breadcrumbs clickable. Any help on this is greatly appreciated!

Expanding upon Previous post to add in clickable links and dynamic toggle for long breadcrumb path. Added in Styling and JQuery to help with view and toggle functionality
