Provides two template tags to use in your HTML templates: breadcrumb and breadcrumb_url. The first allows creating of simple url, with the text portion and url portion. Or only unlinked text (as the last item in breadcrumb trail for example). The second, can actually take the named url with arguments! Additionally it takes a title as the first argument.

This is a templatetag file that should go into your /templatetags directory.

Just change the path of the image in the method create_crumb and you are good to go!

Don't forget to {% load breadcrumbs %} at the top of your html template!
