Issue description

On a fresh in stall of Tripal, when following the online User's Guide it instructions the user to add a publication. After saving the publication many of the fields are not in a Tripal Pane and it looks like a mess:

If I go back to the Publication content type and re-apply the default layout and click "Save" then it fixes the problem. Those fields that are showing up without being in a Tripal Pane look like they are disabled but they still show up.

Publication is the only content type with custom handling in the tripal_ds module. It looks like a bunch of field names changed, did that happen? If it did, can we connect to go over the new preferred layout?

[spficklin]

I don't know how field names changed. Do you know the before and after names of the fields? Let's chat when I'm back in town.

Apparently, there was a problem with my local, when I delete the publication content type and rebuilt it half the fields disappeared which is why I thought fields were renamed. They are not renamed, they just disappeared.

Given that I had another look and found the problem. I pushed a fix in pull request #508.

Merged PR fixes the publication page so it's no longer a mess 👍

I wonder if we shouldn't discuss a better default though. I think it would be pretty generic to change the settings as follows and it would show a lot more information by default. Currently it's annoying for an admin to drag every single chado property into a pane ;-) (screenshot of settings)

• pull the abstract out of the summary table but within the summary pane
• show all other chado property fields in an "Metadata" pane
• also show the following fields in the "Metadata" pane: publisher, publisher location, page numbers, year, issue, series name, volume, title of the volume.
