Description
When an author submits a paper,there is an option for "Submission type" where he should select *abstract or *full paper. This option forces the author to upload an abstract and the abstract needs to be approved...For my webportal i dont want this functionality, i want the author to upload the full paper directly without having to submit an abstract. I tried removing the field "submission type" , after i when tried to submit a paper it complains that i haven't submitted the abstract before..so it seems like code needs to be rewritten.
As i am new to drupal please help me
Thanks in advance

I suppose it will be easier to create new CCK with similar content (title, body, file, paper ID...) and gain proper rights (edit/view/delete own content) than to modify Conference module.
I am also new to drupal, maybe somebody did that with Conference?

Hello All
The conference system is design to accept an Abstract before full paper submission. But what u said seems to be a valid point.
I will update the system with an option to enable or disable this feature, in the next patch

I have added a new feature to the conference module's administration page that upon checking enables 2 level submission of papers.
If left unchecked it allows only one level submission like you requested.
I have checked in the latest code in the CVS repository and it should be available in DEV by tonight. The files that were modified for this purpose was "conference.module" and "conference.admin.inc"
