XMLUI itemSummaryList-DIM only matches first possible author metadata field
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DS-411
                 URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-411
             Project: DSpace 1.x
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: XMLUI
            Reporter: Kim Shepherd
            Assignee: Kim Shepherd
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.6.0


itemSimmaryList-DIM template uses choose/when/otherwise logic to test for valid 
author metadata fields, eg. dc.contributor.author, dc.creator, dc.contributor.* 
-- because of the logic used, any match on a test will cause subsequent tests 
to skip.

The attached patch replaces this logic with a series of <xsl:if> tests nested 
in a <xsl:choose> which tests for the existence of *any* of the possible fields 
(dc.contributor.author, dc.creator, dc.contributor.*)

Please give feedback as to whether this is useful.. it fixes some annoying bugs 
experienced when a combination of dc.contributor.author and dc.creator is used 
(or if one has an empty string for a value), but I am concerned my fix could 
affect repositories using dc.contributor.supervisor or dc.contributor.advisor, 
if they don't wish that field to be displayed with authors.
