Bug Description

Mahara 15.04

- Create a couple of institutions one without a space in the name, one with.
- Create a user and determine the username and id
- Use (e.g.) the mahara_institution_add_members function to add the member to each institution

(the test client will do but the result is the same - using REST encoding with JSON at least)

It works with the Institution with no space. The institution with the space in the name throws...

'No such institution'

Ahh.... I've just realised that I'm trying to use the 'Display name' for the Institution.

The problem, though, is that once set the 'Institution name' is no longer shown anywhere that I can see. Finding it again, may mean some digging around. It's counter-intuitive at best.
