Just add :
Mage::getBlockSingleton(‘catalog/breadcrumbs’)

at the top of your breadcrumbs file
\template\page\html\breadcrumbs.phtml

Now, you can call your breadcrumbs everywhere you want !

Just found another shorter variant:

if (is_null($crumbs)) {
    $headBlock = $this->getLayout()->getblock('head');
    $title = $headBlock->getTitle();
    // Build breadcrumb navigation
    $crumbs['home'] = array(
                       'label'    => $this->__('Home'),
                       'link'     => Mage::getBaseUrl(),
                       'title'    => null,
                       'first'    => true,
                       'last'     => null,
                       'readonly' => null,
                      );
    $crumbs['page'] = array(
                       'label'    => $title,
                       'link'     => null,
                       'title'    => null,
                       'first'    => null,
                       'last'     => null,
                       'readonly' => null,
                      );
}

Thanks, was exactly, what I was looking for. I changed it so that it uses the (in my case already altered) existing output loop. Also it didn't work with $urlRequest->getServer('ORIG_PATH_INFO');:


if (is_null($crumbs)) {
    $urlRequest = Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getRequest();
    $urlPart = $urlRequest->getOriginalPathInfo();

    if(is_null($urlPart))
    {
        $urlPart = $urlRequest->getPathInfo();
    }

    $urlPart = substr($urlPart, 1);
    $currentUrl = $this->getUrl($urlPart);

    $controllerName = str_replace("/", " ", $urlPart);
    $controllerName = str_replace("_", " ", $controllerName);
    $controllerName = str_replace("-", " ", $controllerName);
    $controllerName = ucfirst($controllerName);

    // Build breadcrumb navigation
    $crumbs['home'] = array(
                       'label'    => $this->__('Home'),
                       'link'     => Mage::getBaseUrl(),
                       'title'    => null,
                       'first'    => true,
                       'last'     => null,
                       'readonly' => null,
                      );
    $crumbs['page'] = array(
                       'label'    => $this->__($controllerName),
                       'link'     => null,
                       'title'    => null,
                       'first'    => null,
                       'last'     => null,
                       'readonly' => null,
                      );
}
