CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I am currently building a new Drupal 7 site to replace our current Joomla site, and I imagined that I could do something, but either I'm missing something or it's not possible in Drupal+CiviCRM (shocking    ) It's entirely possible that it's the former, because I'm still a bit of a Drupal and CiviCRM newbie.

One of my main menu items is "Support", which currently has child items like "Volunteer", "Bequests/Planned Giving", etc., all of which are ordinary Drupal nodes. I have a menu block (http://drupal.org/project/menu_block/) set up in a side bar to show all of the child links of the current main menu item.

I was hoping (perhaps unreasonably) that I could add a child item "Donate now", that would link to a CiviContribute contribution page and behave like any other Drupal node. I created a contribution page and an alias (civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=4 to support/donate-now). The alias works fine, and I can create a menu item and assign the path. It works, but behaves as if it were not part of the menu, i.e. the breadcrumbs are "Home > [contribute page title]" instead of "Home > Support > Donate now", and the menu block of child items does not appear in the side bar.

Is there any way to get the desired breadcrumb, and, more importantly, get the side bar "Support" menu to show up? Am I asking for too much?

I have a sneaky feeling there's some Drupal trick that could make this work (maybe involving Panels or Views?), and I'm sure I'll come up with an idea right after I hit "Post", but I'd be extremely grateful for any ideas you folks may have.

Not crazy at all, apparently. The iframe idea works fine so far.

You could look at http://drupal.org/project/custom_breadcrumbs as it should be able to help with this, without requiring an iframe.

You can also set the active menu item (which determines the breadcrumbs) via PHP code.
