Affino 8.0.23 and 24 - Media, Awards, Editions, My Library and My Interests Visual Highlights

Affino's new Podcast capabilities greatly extend Affino's existing native audio player, with a very flexible podcast listing and detail presentation engine. It has been crafted so that there is a whole range of presentation options depending on how far you want to go with showcasing each episode, promoting the sponsors, and showcasing the speakers. Each episode can be socially shared and promoted, commented on and liked, and the user is automatically guided to other episodes in the series.

The new My Interests channel is where each user can refine their interests, see the trending topics and instantly select if they want to be notified of matching content, either realtime or with daily, weekly or monthly summaries. Everything is simple and instant to manage.

It is now possible for users to favourite any article, product, video and podcast episode and to then browse, watch, listen to and buy them from their My Library.

Editions are transformed with the ability to create searchable digital archives. It is now possible to bulk import edition details, upload PDFs of each issue, upload a text transcript, and deploy a full archive.

It is possible to sell access to the archive on a subscription basis, ensuring that users don't download too many issues in any given day with daily download limits.

The live directory is transformed, with dozens of updates to make it more usable and approachable.

We have delivered on the single most requested feature for awards, with the ability now to pay post submission, on submission and pre-submission of awards entries.
