Double entry in Joomla Breadcrumbs with VirtueMart 1.1

Joomla 1.5
VirtueMart 1.1

When you make a normal VirtueMart category menu a double entry (iteration) appears in the Joomla breadcrumbs.
I found this solution in the VirtueMart forums.

If you make a VirtueMart Category menu item via the standard Joomla menu dialogue the breadcrumbs will display a double entry (iteration) for that page.
Thanks to yzedesign for this solution.
It will only work if the menu item name is the same as the category name. It detects the double and drops one of them.

Go to administrator\components\com_virtuemart\classes\mainframe.class.php and find the function "function vmAppendPathway( $pathway )" around line 707 -

 
  function vmAppendPathway( $pathway ) {
 
    global $mainframe;
 
 
 
    // Remove the link on the last pathway item
 
    $pathway[ count($pathway) - 1 ]->link = '';
 
 
 
    if( vmIsJoomla('1.5') ) {
 
      $cmsPathway =& $mainframe->getPathway();
/***** YZEDESIGN HACK ******/
      $whatinpath=',';
      foreach( $cmsPathway->_pathway as $tabpath ) {
        $whatinpath.=','.$tabpath->name.',';
      }
/***** YZEDESIGN HACK ******/
 
      foreach( $pathway AS $item) {
        if (!stripos($whatinpath,','.$item->name.',')){ //********* YZEDESIGN HACK
 
        $cmsPathway->addItem( $item->name, str_replace('&amp;', '&', $item->link) );
 
      }
  }//********* YZEDESIGN HACK
 
    } else {
