Getting hierarchyPath to work

[Jim Byrne]

Bob,

I am using David Baylys 'breadcrumbs' macro along along with the
homePageLink() macro to get the Yahoo affect.

Have a look at http://www.ispn.gcal.ac.uk:81/lcil/services/training/ to see
if that's what you are after.

Here is the code I have in my template:

<P align="left"><strong>You are here:</strong> {homePageLink ("Home")} |
{manilaExtras.breadcrumbs()}</p>

Download a root with all of David's useful scripts from here:
http://www.udena.ch/dbayly/Frontier6/ Scroll to the bottom of the page and
download the 'public domain guest database'.

I have also used the hierarchyPaths macro without any problems - for what
it's worth. Do you have the syntax correct:
{hierarchyPath}
