CiviDiscount Module Extension

[seb]

Thanks, I've opened a ticket on github for that problem

[Donald Lobo]

hopefully you'll follow it up with a PR to fix the issue

That module is currently community maintained and bug fixed

thanx

Trying to find for download a CiviDiscount version compatible with CiviCRM 4.1.1.
Nothing here: https://civicrm.org/extensions/cividiscount-extension. Version 2.0 didn't work for me (blank screen Administer > CiviDiscount).
Ideas?
Cheers.

This lists one for 1.0: https://civicrm.org/extensions/1671/releases

Edd, it doesn't work for me either in WP + 4.4.6. Same problem: Administer > CiviDiscount goes nowhere (returns to the Dashboard). I'll see if there's anything in Issue Tracker.

We are using CiviDiscount fine on 4.4.7 in drupal - albeit a fork - https://github.com/eileenmcnaughton/org.civicrm.module.cividiscount/ - I developed a bunch of stuff on this fork - which got merged into the 4.5 version not the 4.4 version so this branch is more or less the 4.5 version for 4.4

Note that it makes DB changes (as does the 4.5 version) so don't put it on a live site without testing

[Wes Reimer]

Thank you Eileen.

Just to clarify: it sounds like CiviDiscount is considered part of the core, at least from a coding point of view? It's the version numbers that are confusing me. The extension is at version 2.5, but your branch makes it work in core 4.4 and 4.5?

Also, you're saying that the branch makes DB changes, but the original extension doesn't? Or it makes different changes?

[Eileen]

I made a bunch of changes to the 4.4 version including DB changes (to the cividiscount tables) and did a PR against the 4.4 version. The PR was merged into the 4.5 version not the 4.4 version.

Since I had done that work in order to be able to support a much wider range of discounting on 4.4 I couldn't use that & continued with my own branch / fork. I made my branch / fork work with both 4.4 & 4.5 - mostly for dev reasons ( sacrificing the disable toggle in 4.4 to facilitate the same code to work easily against both was not a problem to me)

Once we get customers upgrading to 4.5 or 4.6 I hope to switch back to using the stock version.

Mine did that as well. I had to go and clear out my Civi cache and then it worked.

I've been using the Cividiscount extension for a while now on a D6 site, and found out pretty early on that - for event registrations at least - it only worked if a price set was set up. No price set and Cividiscount simply didn't work. i thought it was down to using D6 and never even bothered to put up a forum post to report as I'd assumed I'd just get one of those "this is community supported code so sort it out yourself" messages.

Now I've just implemented version 2.6 of Cividiscount into a D7 site running Civi 4.4.6, and tried to use discount codes on a standard membership. Guess what? It only works if using a price set. Seems to be a trend. As this is a D7 install it seems reasonable to report it here. I see that there is a more recent version of Cividiscount so maybe this issue has been fixed in that, but I don't see upgrading as an option, presumably the new version is not compatible with 4.4.x

UPDATE: A bit more on this. I've noticed that by converting my price into a price set, the discount coder works, even though I've not selected the price set in my code setup. Odd. And where previously the usage appeared to be getting recorded correctly, that's now no longer working.

[Aside] Having one forum thread as the "official" location for support and issues seems a tad weird, don't you think?

The version I use for CiviDiscount is here https://github.com/eileenmcnaughton/org.civicrm.module.cividiscount/ - you might try it. It is the basis for a bunch of changes that are in the 4.5 version but they weren't merged into 4.4 - only 4.5 - so I only use this version on 4.4 & will test the 4.5 version before I upgrade to it.

You can give it a  go but it DOES make DB changes - so test on a test site first

[Upperholme]

Many thanks Eileen.

It will be good to get these two versions merged back into one. Information and support mechanisms for extensions are confusing enough as it is for end users.

Best wishes

Well I originally re-worked the 4.4 version but core & forked for 4.5, added 4.5 specific code leaving the 4.4 changes only in my repo - I am not sure whether they are exactly the same but I hope to not be forked once we update to 4.6

Hey there I'm currently working with a Development site testing the upgraded Wordpress and CiviCRM.

The site is running WP 4.0.1 and CiviCRM 4.5.4 We have also updated the Discount Module, but it now throughs the following error:

Warning: array_keys() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /usr/home/gbapgh/public_html/dev-site/go-gba/wp-content/plugins/files/civicrm/custom_ext/org.civicrm.module.cividiscount/CRM/CiviDiscount/DiscountCalculator.php on line 114

This appears in the Memberships > New Membership page. It also appears to have disabled the "Add Membership" screen in the Contact Record.

Suggestions?

All,

My D7 site is currently running CiviCRM 4.5.2 (I might consider updating later this week) and CiviDiscount 2.5 to provide a fixed discount to those who enter the magic code. Our model is simple - no price sets involved. When I first installed this under CiviCRM 4.4.x, it worked fine.

As noted below by several people, when I select Administration->CiviDiscount, the site goes nowhere (returns to the Dashboard). Per Eileen's post, I updated to CiviDiscount 2.5.1, and per jsimonis's post, I cleared the cache. Still not working.

Should I update to V2.6? If so, can someone please provide a pointer.
