[WM] sitemaps, breadcrumbs and isroot

[Kevin O'Rourke]

I'll try to patch it myself, should be good practice for me :-)  How would you prefer me to send you the patch information once I've done it?  The whole changed file or just diff output?

Thanks for the quick reply, enjoy your holidays!

Kevin.

Hi Kevin --

this unfortunately sounds like a bug -- sorry about that.  I'd suggest 
seeing if you
can patch that yourself, as I'm not currently able to fix this from where
I am, and I'm about to disappear off on holidays for 3-4 weeks ;)

If you can wait, though, I'll fix it at that stage ;)

Another quick hack fix would be to add a chunk of perl code which
gets the content object you want to be the root (using get_content_object()
API), and then sets the internal variable itself!  As long as this code
is run before the <sitemap> tag, it'll work OK.
