+=head1 NAME
+
+SL::DB::Helper::DisplayableNamePreferences - Mixin for managing displayable
+names configured via user preferences
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ # DB object
+ package SL::DB::SomeObject;
+ use SL::DB::Helper::DisplayableNamePreferences(
+ title => t8('Some Object'),
+ options => [ {name => 'some_attribute_1', title => t8('Some Attribute One') },
+ {name => 'some_attribute_2, title => t8('Some Attribute Two') },
+
+ );
+
+ # Controller using displayable_name
+ package SL::Controller::SomeController;
+ $obj = SL::DB::SomeObject->get_first;
+ my $output = $obj->displayable_name;
+
+ # Controller configuring a displayable name
+ # can get specs to display title and options
+ # and the user prefs to read and set them
+ my specs => SL::DB::SomeObject->displayable_name_specs;
+ my prefs => SL::DB::SomeObject->displayable_name_prefs;
+
+
+This mixin provides a method C<displayable_name> for the calling module
+which returns the a string depending on the settings of the
+C<UserPreferences> (see also L<SL::Helper::UserPrefernces::DisplayableName>.
+The value in the user preferences is scanned for a pattern like E<lt>%name%E<gt>, which
+will be replaced by the value of C<$object-E<gt>name>.
+
+=head1 CONFIGURATION
+
+The mixin must be configured on import giving a hash with the following keys
+in the C<use> statement. This is stored in the specs an can be used
+in a controller setting the preferences to display them.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item C<title>
+
+The (translated) title of the object.
+
+=item C<options>
+
+The C<options> are an array ref of hash refs with the keys C<name> and C<title>.
+The C<name> is the method called to get the needed information from the object
+for which the displayable name is configured. The C<title> can be used to
+display a (translated) text in a controller setting the preferences.

+=item C<displayable_name_specs>
+
+Returns the specification given on importing this helper. This can be used

+
+This returns an instance of the L<SL::Helper::UserPrefernces::DisplayableName>
+(see there) for the calling class. This can be used to read and set the
+preferences.
