[$40] Breadcrumb when navigating from a challenge page

[sushilshinde]

@atelomycterus - Can we fix the breadcrumb below please? It only gets messed up when navigating from a challenge page. Here's an active challenge for testing:

https://www.topcoder-dev.com/challenges/84999c47-6f76-4706-8f49-9ea79e3f344d

You can login with jmgasper / Appirio123, as jmgasper is already registered.

Breadcrumb

When user registers for the challenge and navigates to the challenge forum, the breadcrumb shows roundtables.
That is confusing because we already have Challenge Discussions as the discussion category. I’m assuming these ( Challenge Discussions and Roundtables ) are conceptually two different things, so two different mental models. There will be confusion between Challenge Discussions and Roundtables > Challenge Forums

@jmgasper A few questions about a category tree before any code changes.

There will be confusion between Challenge Discussions and Roundtables > Challenge Forums

Yes, agree

1. I've renamed 'Challenges Forum' to 'Challenge Discussions' in Settings. Need to remove 'Roundtable' from the breadcrumbs in the code.
   

2. Is the tree structure expected to be approximately the same as in Jive?
   It'd better to create 'Roundtable' category. If the structure is as it is now, then to distinguish the category is Roundtable or not, only the 'hard-coded' category-url in the code, which will not allow the system to be configured flexibly.

Vanilla support moving categories. This screen from my local env:

1. Ok
2. I think what we have is fine for now. Topcoder seems to want what's current in dev, thanks.

@jmgasper If we remove 'Roundtable' it will also confuse users because

• track names in breadcrumbs
• 'Challenge Discussions' (root category) vs 'Challenge Discussions' (menu in the left nav). The links with the same name but they navigates to different pages.
  'Challenge Discussions' (root category) - https://discussions.topcoder.com/categories/challenges-forums that display 'Design', 'Development' and so on. Now this link is used in the breadcrumb. The breadcrumb is built from the current category and its ancestors by default.

'Challenge Discussions' (menu item in the left) - List of challenges in which the user participates.

Maybe a breadcrumb like this would be clearer for regular groups and challenge groups. What do you think? I am open to your suggestions.

[jmgasper]

@atelomycterus - I'm fine with that suggestion, thanks.

@jmgasper Please apply PR-#442. Thanks!
I hope this breadcrumbs will be more user-friendly.
