Description

Imported from Trac ticket #13 reported by jboggs on 2009-07-21:

Add the ability to choose what item metadata gets displayed in an exhibit layout, in addition to normaly showing the item itself (title, description, files, et cetera). This will involve not only modifying the code in each exhibit layout, but also require a way of choosing the metadata to display in the exhibit builder and saving the relationships between that data in the database.

Research direction

Start by locating the exhibit layout code, the exhibit builder, and the database relationships described in the issue. Trace how layouts currently display item data and how builder settings are saved. Done means users can choose item metadata in the builder, that choice is persisted, and each exhibit layout displays the selected metadata.
