Description Katrin Fischer 2021-01-17 22:26:25 UTC
At the moment when you have set news to display the author's name it will display as "Mrs Katrin Fischer". This is quite unsual for how blogs or CMS display author information. I think we should remove the title here.
Comment 1 Owen Leonard 2023-09-21 17:00:28 UTC
Is this still valid?
Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2023-10-29 10:52:20 UTC
Yes, it's still the case:

* Make sure your patron has a firstname, surname and title
* Set NewsAuthorDisplay to "both OPAC and staff interface"
* Create a new news entry, remember to set publication date in the past
* Save
* Verify that the title shows in the staff interface and in the OPAC on the news entry.

I am no longer sure if this is fully unintentional. Some libraries don't use the title for Mr. Mrs. etc. but for Prof., Dr. etc. in that case the display would probably be intended.

And: the title has it's own class for easy hiding.

Closing WONTFIX.
