VIVO-1807: i18n : Preferred titles have disappeared from People overview page

When looking at the i18n reference VIVO ([http://vivo-i18n.dev.uqam.ca:8080/vivo_i18n_M2/people),] one can see that the preferred titles where diplayed underneath the names of the individuals in the People overview page. In the current i18n sprint branch, those titles have disappeared.

This occurs regardless of the selected language.

I believe the issue here is that there may be no French titles for the listed individuals. If, however, you switch to the French context and add/update the individual's title... it should show up on the overview page.

You're right – but that's not obvious, since there is a preferred title showing up (albeit in small letters). Is that some default value?

Ok, I get it : if no Preferred title is specified, then VIVO defaults to the type of individual – in this case, a Faculty member.

But if I add a Preferred title, the individual's type doesn't change: she's still a Faculty member. And there's no mention of this type left anywhere – so there's no way to 1) modify it or 2) make it public. That can be problematic if someone goes through a status change (from postdoc to faculty member) or has a double status (both faculty member and head of faculty).

I understand that's the way VIVO has been structured, and that probably won't change, but that will be an important thing to factor in when gatewaying our sources of data into VIVO.

For the time being, I guess we can close this ticket.

Will do. It should be filed under "Improvement" ?

"Improvement" type sounds right. Thanks.
