title: Making consistent breadcrumbs on individual product pages in Magento?
body: <p>In Magento, what we have now is that the breadcrumbs on individual product pages are always changing according to how the user has arrived at the page. For example, if user clicked all the way from top category to sub category and then to the product, the breadcrumbs would be something like "<strong>Home >> Top category >> Sub category >> Product</strong>".</p>
  
  <p>However if the user arrives at the product page directly, such as from Google queries, the breadcrumbs would simply be "<strong>Home >> Product</strong>". And it is uncool to be like this.</p>
  
  <p>It would definitely be a user experience improvement by adding categories in the breadcrumbs even when the user arrives at the page from Google. And it would definitely increase PV per visit because users will likely to click on parent categories in the breadcrumbs.</p>
  
  <p>So is there any way to make it consistent and always show the categories path on product pages?</p>
  
  <p>My idea is to edit page/html/breadcrumbs.phtml but I don't know how to add categories to the breadcrumbs only on product pages.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated!</p>
  
  <p>======================================</p>
  
  <p>Edit: In a word, I just want categories to appear in the breadcrumbs on product pages no matter how the user arrives on the product page. Doesn't matter which categories, as long as the categories are there.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone got any idea? Is this that hard?</p>
  
  <p>Off the top of my head, I will need to edit the breadcrumbs template and inject the categories in it if there aren't any and it's the product page....but I don't know how and I can't seem to find any relevant solutions to this anywhere...</p>
