folder_contents view of registrants under Plone 2.1

[Rhonda]

I've been running EventRegistration 0.5 with Plone 2.1 on two different
systems. One fedora 8.4 and the other solaris 8. After following the
recommendation made by afd in the posting
"http://groups.google.com/group/Plone-EventRegistration/msg/b83fb6ca481a32bc"
everything went fine provided metadata was entered the catalog.

There is however one thing that seems odd. Logged in as a manager, when
viewing a contents listing for a particular event the title field
displays [...] for the Registrant. It would seem that this field would
display a registrants first and last name or the objects id. Also, for
an anonymous user the registrant displays as [...] in the navigation
bar.

Am I correct in assuming that the listing is not displaying correctly?
i.e., there should be something displaying other than [...] in the
title field?

Being very new to Plone I am not quite sure how to go about tracing
down why this is displaying the way it is.

Thanks for a great product.

fyi, zope, and therefore plone, perform horribly on solaris, a
situation that is not likely to change.

I would say this is definitely a bug, and that EventRegistration
should look to the Samplex tutorial for an example of how to construct
a field / value on the fly from multiple fields - Samplex extends the
Member class from CMFMember to use separate first and last names.

in any case, this should feed into title_or_id somehow..

EventRegistration is somewhat lacking in full plone integration and
content-type-ness.

Cheers!
