Question

If I have a subweb, e.g. Projects/Ruby/Code what is the best practice recommended way to get the name of the subweb?

%WEB% returns the entire path. Not what I want.

I'd love a %WEBPATH% variable that returns the path and %WEB% to return only the current web (subweb) name, but until that exists,... is %CALC... the best bet?

Subweb is %CALC{"$SUBSTITUTE(%WEB%,^.*/,,,r)"}%

And while I'm at it, is there something I can do to fix the breadcrumbs to show the path elements separately? Short of editing the code?

Try %FLEXWEBLIST{webs="%WEB%" format="$name"}% using FlexWebListPlugin. There's probably a similar approach using the BreadCrumbsPlugin

And while I'm at it, is there something I can do to fix the breadcrumbs to show the path elements separately? for now your only solution is to use the BreadCrumbsPlugin. But this is on my TODO list at ExplodeHierarchalWebsInBreadcrumbs so it may happen in the core someday

To take Michael's suggestion one step further, you could also set a site-wide preference variable in TWikiPreferences like "Set SHORTWEB = %FLEXWEBLIST...", which would allow you to quickly substitute in the shorter web name. I'm using this in the left bar and it seems to work well.
