Breaking: Adapted frontend editing Fluid files

Description

Version 2.4 changes Fluid templates and partials that EXT:academic_persons_edit ships for its frontend editing plugin. They are shipped files, not API, and an installation that overrides one of them keeps its own copy and therefore does not receive the change.

This page lists the changes of 2.4 to those files. Most of them have an entry of their own, which describes the change and how to apply it to a copy:

The contact record lists and Templates/Contract/Show.html show hidden records and a show and hide toggle, see Breaking: Adapted frontend editing templates for contact record visibility.
Partials/Profile/Show/Image.html reads the image metadata from the file and no longer requests WebP unconditionally, see Important: Adapted profile image partial and Important: Profile image keeps its own format where WebP is not allowed.
Partials/Profile/Properties/Profile.html, Partials/Profile/Properties/Contract.html and the contract templates start the rich text editor, see Important: The profile forms now start the rich text editor.
Templates/Profile/Edit.html loads the editor configuration from its new location, see Breaking: The editor configuration moved.
The partials below Partials/Profile/Forms/ and the templates of the six forms show the messages of a rejected form, see Important: Rejected forms show their messages.
Every template and partial translates with the extension name AcademicPersonsEdit, see Important: Label overrides are read from the documented path.

The changes without an entry of their own follow.

Profile name without empty parts

The headers of the templates and Partials/Profile/Show/Personal.html rendered the name of a profile as {profile.title} {profile.firstName} {profile.middleName} {profile.lastName}, so a profile without a title or a middle name got a leading or a double space. They now leave out an empty title and an empty middle name together with their space:

{f:if(condition: profile.title, then: '{profile.title} ')}{profile.firstName}{f:if(condition: profile.middleName, then: ' {profile.middleName}')} {profile.lastName}

The browser collapses the spaces of the old markup, so the visible name does not change.

Profile image copyright

Resources/Private/Partials/Profile/Show/Image.html

The partial rendered a copyright above the image:

<f:if condition="{image.properties.show_copyright} && {image.properties.copyright}">
    <span class="copyright">&copy; {image.properties.copyright}</span>
</f:if>

That block is removed. It has never rendered anything in any released version, for two independent reasons: the view variable image is never assigned (see Important: Adapted profile image partial), and show_copyright is not a field of TYPO3. It exists in no system extension, in no extension this package depends on or suggests, and nowhere in this extension except that condition. The copyright field itself is real, but comes with the system extension EXT:filemetadata, which is not a dependency here.

Repairing the property paths would therefore not have produced a working copyright. It would have produced a second, differently broken condition. Rendering the copyright of a profile image is a feature, not a defect fix: it needs a decision about where the value comes from, a declared dependency on whatever provides it, and test coverage proving it renders.

Impact

Installations that override one of the adapted files keep the behaviour of their own copy. For the two changes described on this page that is harmless: an overridden Profile/Show/Image.html keeps its copyright block, which renders nothing there either, and an overridden header keeps its extra spaces.

The changes listed above with an entry of their own do change what a copy misses. Their entries name the consequences.

Affected Installations

All installations using EXT:academic_persons_edit that override one of its templates or partials.

Migration
