affiliationtitles
I'm trying to list an author with multiple affiliations for an article submission. I Googled around a little and discovered the authblk package which is pretty cool. Unfortunately it refuses to work with the conference specified LaTeX files:
Is there any workaround solution to list multiple affiliations for a single author without any extra packages? The help would be appreciated.
This is because \maketitle redefines \@makefnmark:
\def\@makefnmark{\rlap{\@textsuperscript{\normalfont\@thefnmark}}}
You can undo this using etoolbox's \patchcmd:
\patchcmd\maketitle{%
\def\@makefnmark{\rlap{\@textsuperscript{\normalfont\@thefnmark}}}}{}{}{}
So my complete solution would be as follows (also using fnpct instead of footmisc for once because I like it and second because it allows using \thanks, too):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{scrtime}
% fnpct instead of footmisc:
\usepackage[dont-mess-around]{fnpct}
% patch \maketitle:
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
% undo counter resetting in case there are more footnotes:
\patchcmd\maketitle{\setcounter{footnote}{0}}{}{}{}
% undo \@fnsymbol, add adapting of \thanks:
\patchcmd\maketitle{%
\renewcommand\thefootnote{\@fnsymbol\c@footnote}}{\AdaptNote\thanks\multthanks}{}{}
% undo redefinition of \@makefnmark:
\patchcmd\maketitle{%
\def\@makefnmark{\rlap{\@textsuperscript{\normalfont\@thefnmark}}}}{}{}{}
\makeatother
% both \footnote and \thanks work:
\author{Joe Schmo\footnote{first address}\footnote{second address}
\and Fred Blow\thanks{third address}\thanks{fourth address}}
\title{Test}
\date{\today\ @ \thistime}
\textheight=8cm
\begin{document}
\maketitle
Also try some footnotes: this\footnote{yes} and that\footnote{no}\footnote{maybe}
\end{document}
fnpctThe code below goves the same output as before.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{scrtime}
\usepackage{fnpct}
% patch \maketitle:
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
% undo counter resetting in case there are more footnotes:
\patchcmd\maketitle
{\setcounter{footnote}{0}}
{}{}{}
% undo \@fnsymbol:
\patchcmd\maketitle
{\renewcommand\thefootnote{\@fnsymbol\c@footnote}}
{}{}{}
% % undo redefinition of \@makefnmark:
\AdaptNote\thanks{+m}{\let\rlap\@firstofone #NOTE{#1}}
\makeatother
% both \footnote and \thanks work:
\author{Joe Schmo\footnote{first address}\footnote{second address}
\and Fred Blow\thanks{third address}\thanks{fourth address}}
\title{Test}
\date{\today\ @ \thistime}
\textheight=8cm
\begin{document}
\maketitle
Also try some footnotes: this\footnote{yes} and that\footnote{no}\footnote{maybe}
\end{document}
I did a basic redefinition of \author to include an optional argument; the value used in this argument will be appended, together with a comma, to the superscript number used in the affiliation:
\documentclass[nouppercase]{ifmbe}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\author}[3][]{
\stepcounter{ifmbe@authors}
\expandafter\def\csname ifmbe@author\alph{ifmbe@authors}\endcsname
{#2$^{\expandafter\the\csname ifmbe@affiliationcounter#3\endcsname
\if\relax\detokenize{#1}\relax\else,#1\fi}$}
}
\makeatother
\title{Authors With Multiple Affiliations}
\affiliation{First Institution/Department, Affiliation, City, Country }{FIRSTAFF}
\affiliation{Second Institution/Department, Affiliation, City, Country }{SECONDAFF}
\author{A.B. Firstauthor}{FIRSTAFF}
\author{C. Coauthor}{SECONDAFF}
\author[2]{D.E. Othercoauthor}{FIRSTAFF}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}
A more general redefinition could be made, but for a one-case situation, this should be enough.

In the .sty provided, you can read the instruccions for working with the
\authorcommand. It's simply a tabular enviroment. So this might be a way of coping with several institutions, e.g.:
