Hello all! I’m using a pretty good breadcrumb snippet, it works great for me, but there is one small annoying thing. When some products belong to more than one collection, the collection displayed in the breadcrumb is one I’d rather not show.
For example: if a necklace is in both “Necklaces” and “Mens/Unisex”, instead of “Necklaces” appearing in the breadcrumb (which I would prefer) on the product page, “Mens/Unisex” always does (I assume because it’s alphabetical: M comes before N).
I’m using the Studio theme, 15.0. Is there a way I can somehow choose a “default” collection for products that are in multiple collections? Or perhaps rank collections somehow, in order of priority? Or add tag to the product that can be referenced, to make sure it defaults to a matching category name? Or some other way? I’m only kind of intermediate at stuff like this, and this is definitely over my head.
I’m hoping someone could take a look at the code I’m using, and maybe see if there’s something that could be changed there to help… thank you in advance for any advice you may offer!
