The basis for creating the breadcrumbs is to mimic the vm home page and then add additional strings. The code for extracting the home page just extracts all vm menu items and uses the first one. Most of the time this will be the 'home' page but if the 'home' page is deleted and re-created, a different menu item will be selected as the basis for the breadcrumbs. The query needs to be more specific and select the menu item that drives the home page.
ps_session (line 463 in build 1760) should be changed from:
$db->query( "SELECT id FROM #__menu WHERE link='index.php?option=com_virtuemart'
AND published=1");
to:
$db->query( "SELECT id FROM #__menu WHERE link='index.php?option=com_virtuemart'
AND published=1 AND params LIKE '%page=shop.index\\n%'");

Phil,
I suffer from duplicate breadcrumbs here www.getupandgrow.com i'm going though your various posts in an attempt to fix it, from what i'm reading im optomistic, however i cant see the replacement code in the post above?
Thanks
Chris
Chris,
It was possible to see the revised code by clicking on the code and using the right arrow on the keyboard but to make it more obvious, I edited the code and put in line breaks
Phil
In VM 1.1.3 you won't find those lines in ps_session that need to be replaced. I didn't find them, so I guess it is only in 1.1.4.
As I said in my post, I'm using build 1760.

I found these lines in my vm 1.1.3 and this fix totally worked!!
I had all my breadcrumbs and my URL's for that matter starting with towels (the first product on my menu list)
Now everything is starting with the correct category.
you rock!!!
