Although it is not possible to have custom statuses, however, you can do the following:

Accept the abstract like you normally do and change their submission type as per whether you're accepting as oral or poster submission type. Then, in the email notification that is sent for accepted abstracts' notification, use the "submission type" shortcode to display the abstract's type. Something like this:

Accepted as {abstract_type}

Hi. I'm sorry but it is not possible to add in data from any custom field in between the first and last name. You need to put in the middle name within the last name field to display them anywhere on the website.

Hi Freyni,

It is not possible to hide them as of now. But we will add this to our roadmap and implement it soon.

Thank you! BTW the report for the email campaigns is really good, easy to see at a glance what is happening! Great job :)

Yes, Dryfta does handle parallel sessions. And can be up to 25 parallel sessions. however, there's an additional fee for parallel sessions based on the type of the session eg., livestream session or Zoom session etc.

The banner image does not display on the Sponsorship package page.

Thanks - then at least I know I am not doing something wrong!!

Hi. We've replied to your colleague in email.

Hi Freyni,

The issue has been fixed and the same has been replied to Erica over the mail.

The blue text issue has been resolved, not sure because I changed to the Artemis theme.

The table is still an issue.

Thanks!

1. Yes. that is still there as the other themes can not be updated.

2. A banner with a size of 1024px * 512px would be optimum.

3. Go to 'Sponsor's listing' under 'Website & Apps'. Then go to any sponsor and scroll down, in the end of the page you will find 'Banner Slots'

Thank you - so the banner position "homepage" refers to the sponsor homepage and not the event homepage?

When I change the position to "end of the home page" it does not move . . . this is confusing! Could you explain why there are Banners 1 thru 4 and where they are going to appear?

The "end of the homepage" and other such positions are supposed to work in the mobile app only. Those banners are not going to display on the website's homepage. They'll display in two places: Sponsor lounge and the Mobile app homepage.

Thank you Sarah - I like that "lounge"!!

Next question: Zaid said that in the Ariadne theme that the order of the widgets was set and could not be changed, now I have changed to Artemis theme as my banners are ready BUT it moved the Sponsors above my main text . . . and will not change the order. I have now turned off the Sponsors widget but do actually want it on - please help! Thanks :)

And now it is doing the same thing with Subscribe to Our Mailing List - I am so frustrated :(

I want it to have the text at the top and it keeps messing up my stuff 

Hi. Here's a screen capture of where you can find the editor for page headings: https://gyazo.com/f7fdebd6331b39670527550aa6e35056

Thanks!

Hi,

In Adriane theme the fixed widgets can not be re ordered. The widgets which you are tryig to reorder are the fixed once and they cannot be reordered in the current theme. In order to re order them you need to change the theme for the same.

The option is not available right now, but yes we would take this as as feature request and try to implement the same as soon as possible.

Thank you for the reply!

Hi. Can you please share the link to the submission form?

https://ahsrconference.dryfta.com/submit-abstract

This is because when someone is adding an abstract on behalf of an author, the system requires them to add the primary author on whose behalf they're submitting it. There's an Add Co-author button to add the primary author. It was not displaying because your designer has made it hidden via CSS. I have removed the CSS to display the Add button.

Go to Submission Settings and enable the following setting: "Enable double-blind review (hides author details from reviewers)" and click Save.

thanks! 

have a nice day!

Hi,

You need to create a 'File Upload' field in the 'Abstract Submission Form' and mention the formats allowed, so that authors can upload pre-recorded presentations when they will be submitting their Abstract. And yes, those pre-recorded preentations can be played back when needed.

Dear Zaid thank you.

Hi Zaid, 

If in a session I have five pre-recordings from five authors, will I need to combine all the five into one recording for it to be played back? 

secondly how do I play back a pre-recording? Do you have a video explaining this?

thirdly I see the only formats on the program builder allowed are MP4, OGG and MOV video formats, meaning if an author did their recording in a ppt file and submitted it it cant be uploaded on the program builder.

Finally if we need to use the live stream section to playback the pre-recording how much is the costing? Zeb had shared with me a document with a sample quote, I believe it would still be the same:- 

Hi Primrose,

Q: If in a session I have five pre-recordings from five authors, will I need to combine all the five into one recording for it to be played back?

A: No, you don't need to combine all the recordings. If they need to played in the same session then they can be played by creating different sub-sessions. And, if they will be played in different sessions then we need to create different sessions for them.

Q: secondly how do I play back a pre-recording? Do you have a video explaining this? 

A: You can upload the recording on dryfta's server as you can see in the below screenshot.

Q: thirdly I see the only formats on the program builder allowed are MP4, OGG and MOV video formats, meaning if an author did their recording in a ppt file and submitted it it cant be uploaded on the program builder. 

A: The ppt file format can be uploaded as you can mention the format in the file upload field in form builder tool but that ppt format can be used for poster presentations only as video can not be recorded in ppt format.

Q: Finally if we need to use the live stream section to playback the pre-recording how much is the costing? Zeb had shared with me a document with a sample quote, I believe it would still be the same:- 

A: Yes. The costing would be the same as Zeb mentioned in the quote.

Thank you Zaid. This was really helpful. 

That must be because the status for these abstracts is not set to "Accept with Revision". If the abstract has already been accepted, they cannot revise it. Because if you allow revision for accepted abstracts, their state in which they were originally accepted would also change.

It does display the Update button. See this screenshot:

Thank you, Sarah. That makes sense! 

When you select a poster in a session as a sub-session, it automatically adds its associated presenter under the speaker list. However, if you're creating individual sessions for these posters, it would only populate the title and description fields and not the associated speakers.

However, I'll take this request and add this for our next update (by Friday this week) so it also populates the speakers in a session just like it does for sub-sessions.

Hi Erik. I just tested and it has already been working. 

When you use the "Select an abstract" dropdown from the top to select the abstract for which you're creating the session, then it auto-populates the session title, description and speakers with the abstract's title, abstract summary and presenters respectively. Give it a try.

Hi Lauren. The "Add to Calendar" is a 3rd party feature and it seems they are having issues working with Outlook. I have submitted this issue to the developers for looking into it. I'll come back to you as soon as they figure out something.

Thanks Sarah, I look forward to your update!

Hi Lauren. I'm sorry but the Company name field is mandatory to save all submitted data. The platform uses the "company" field to create a listing for the sponsor and then update this listing with the rest of the info sponsor has uploaded. You need to enable "Company" field and ask sponsors to resubmit the form. 

To prevent this issue in future, we'll add a warning message below the company field to keep it enabled to allow the sponsor listings to be created.
