# Important: The profile item is built from small partials {#important-profile-item-partials-are-overridable}

## Description {#description}

The contacts of a page are rendered through the `Profile/Item` partial of
`EXT:academic_persons`. That partial no longer holds the detail link, the name,
the contracts and the image in one file: each of them is a partial of its own
now, so a project changes one of them without copying the item. The partials and
their arguments are described in the **Templates** chapter of
`EXT:academic_persons`.

Two consequences reach this extension.

### The academic title is part of the name {#the-academic-title-is-part-of-the-name}

A contact whose profile carries a **Title** shows it in front of the
name - `Prof. Dr. Anna Beispiel` rather than `Anna Beispiel`. It is the same
change every persons element shows.

The name is also joined differently: it used to be written with literal spaces,
so a contact whose profile has no middle name carried two of them in the markup.
An empty part is now left out with its separator.

### An override has to be registered here as well {#an-override-has-to-be-registered-here-as-well}

This plugin resolves the persons partials through partial root paths of its own
(`plugin.tx_academiccontacts4pages.view.partialRootPath`, key `10`), so an
override registered for `plugin.tx_academicpersons` alone does not reach it.
Register the same directory twice:

**TypoScript constants**

```typoscript
plugin.tx_academicpersons.view.partialRootPath = EXT:my_sitepackage/Resources/Private/Extensions/academic_persons/Partials/
plugin.tx_academiccontacts4pages.view.partialRootPath = EXT:my_sitepackage/Resources/Private/Extensions/academic_persons/Partials/
```

That has always applied to a copy of `Profile/Item.html`. It is repeated
here because a small override makes it easy to forget the second line.

## Impact {#impact}

The heading of every contact carries the class
`academic-persons-item__name` next to the `card-title` it had, and the image
carries `academic-persons-item__image` next to its existing classes. No class
was removed.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Every installation that shows contacts, through the content element or through
the data processor. An installation that copied `Profile/Item.html` into
its own partial root path renders exactly what it rendered before, the academic
title included - and should drop the copy in favour of the small partial it
actually wanted to change.
