beamerlyxtitles
I want to have two authors with different affiliations showing on the cover page in beamer. Can anyone help me how I can do this in LyX? Specifically, I want to have the below structure:
Title
Author1
Affiliation1
Author2
Affiliation2
Conference
Date
Since this seems to be a request for a one-time use, I would opt for a manual design of the title; something along these lines:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{url}
\newcommand\Mark[1]{\textsuperscript#1}
\begin{document}
\begingroup
\centering
{\LARGE The Title \\[1.5em]
\large First Author\Mark{1}, Second Author\Mark{2}, Third Author\Mark{1}, Fourth Author\Mark{2} and Fifth Author\Mark{3}}\\[1em]
\begin{tabular}{*{3}{>{\centering}p{.25\textwidth}}}
\Mark{1}Department1 & \Mark{2}Department2 & \Mark{3}Department3 \tabularnewline
School1 & School2 & School3 \tabularnewline
\url{email1} & \url{email2} & \url{email3}
\end{tabular}\par
\endgroup
\end{document}
To add a logo to the titlepage, you can use the \titlegraphic command in the preamble. Go to Document --> Settings --> LaTeX preamble and add
\titlegraphic{\includegraphics{uni-logo-filename}}
However, this can also be done from within the GUI. Add a new line after the author(s), and choose TitleGraphic from the drop down menu in the top left. Then you can add the logo as you normally add images, by clicking 
.
For me, this placed the logo at the bottom of the page. If the same happens for you, you probably have to redefine the title page template. Stefan Kottwitz provides the basic idea in How to customize \titlepage in beamer?
Copy the \defbeamertemplate part to your LaTeX preamble in Document --> Settings, and change it to suit your needs. I'm not sure exactly what you want to have, but the following produced something very similar to the template, only with the logo between the authors and the affiliations.
\defbeamertemplate*{title page}{customized}[1][]
{\centering
\setbeamercolor{title}{bg=blue,fg=white}
\begin{beamercolorbox}[rounded=true,shadow=true,sep=5pt,center]{title}
\usebeamerfont{title}\inserttitle\par
\usebeamerfont{subtitle}\insertsubtitle
\end{beamercolorbox} \par\medskip
\usebeamerfont{author}\insertauthor\par\medskip
\inserttitlegraphic \par\medskip
\usebeamerfont{institute}\insertinstitute\par\medskip
\setbeamerfont{date}{size=\large}
\usebeamerfont{date}\insertdate\par
}

Finally, I managed to solve my own question, although it does now look as nice as what I expected.
After compiling, one can have
