Here’re four reasons why you do not see the Submit abstract button in your abstract submission form:
1. The abstract submission is only enabled for authors who paid the abstract submission fee. Look under Abstract Settings. See screenshot below.
2. Global abstract submission deadline has lapsed. Look under Abstract Settings. See screenshot below.
3. The selected submission type’s date has lapsed. Look under Submission Types. See screenshot below.
4. The selected submission type is not allowed for the usertype currently logged-in. Look under Submission Types. See screenshot below.
To create a LinkedIn App, go and visit: https://www.linkedin.com/secure/developer
You need to be logged in to your LinkedIn account to be able to access their developer page. So first, log in to your LinkedIn account and then follow the link above to get to their developer page. This should look similar to the one shown in the image below:
On that page click on the “Create Application” link. Now the “Create Application” page does load. On that page enter all the information which do contain a star. They are required.
Within the Application Info make sure, that you enter the correct URL of your website and that the URL you enter there does match 100% the one from your website. http://eventname.dryfta.com/index.php?option=com_dryfta&view=register&task=loginWithLinkedIn It’s important that the entered Website URL does match the one from your actual website, otherwise the App won’t work correctly and it will show an error message when you or your users try to connect with the App.
After you entered all the required information, check the box at the bottom of the page to agree to the LinkedIn API Terms of Use and click on the “Submit” button.
After you added the application you will see a app listing page which will contain all the needed information to integrate that App in to your website. See image below:
Use the “OAuth 2.0 Redirect URLs” field same as the LinkedIn callback URL. If these entries do not completely match the URL of your website, the application won’t work and it will show an error message whe you try to connect to the App.
Copy the API Key and Secret Key in to the LinkedIn App settings within the settings page. Go to Contacts > Settings to set up LinkedIn application. See image below:
Important: When you copy and paste all the needed IDs and Keys, make sure, that you don’t have any empty spaces, either at the beginning nor at the end of these entries. If you have any empty spaces, then the Application won’t work and will show an error message when you try to connect to the App.
After you entered the App ID and App Secret, click on the “Save” button within the settings page.
If you want to group your tickets with their own respective headings eg. Registration tickets, Workshop tickets, here’s how you can do it:

To add a ticket type to a group, click on Edit icon to edit the ticket details.
Select group from the Group dropdown
Update other ticket types with their respective groups.
Click save.
On the website, the tickets would be grouped under their respective headings. Here’s a screenshot from a site:
In order to submit abstracts or to show interest in event, one has to create an account first using the registration form.
To become an attendee at the event, one has to purchase the tickets. Or to submit an abstract which requires author to pay a fee, one has to purchase tickets. That’s basically the reason why Dryfta platform has separate options to register and to purchase tickets.
You have the option to either ask users to register first and then purchase a ticket, Or you can disable the registration button (from Website builder > Navigation) to let users purchase a ticket first and then system shall register them automatically and send their login credentials to them.
You also have the option to let users register and then automatically redirect them to purchase the tickets on the tickets page. Go to Form builder > Form settings and under contact registration form, enter the URL where you want users to be redirected on form submission.
Registration get users the username/password to log in to their dashboard on the event website to update their profile, purchase and download tickets and invoices, submit abstracts, submit reviews, enable public profile, disable notifications etc.
