Discount for multiple registrants?

[jsimonis]

We have an event where you get a discount if you register multiple people at once ($50 off all registrations except the first one). However, I haven't found any way to allow this to happen other than putting up the two prices (First Registrant, Additional Registrant) and hoping people are honest. Is there a way to do this?

On approach would be to setup registration to allow one person to register multiple participants. Since the original participant form uses a different template then the additional participants you could write a little jquery for each to hide the price option you don't want visible. That way the first registrant will only see the primary price and the additional form will only have the discounted price. This will only work if they are registering all participants at once.

You should make these changes as custom templates to avoid overwrite when upgrading. The templates you need to edit are:

/civicrm/templates/CRM/Event/Form/Registration/Register.tpl
/civicrm/templates/CRM/Event/Form/Registration/AdditionalParticipant.tpl

If you add a .extra.tpl (ie Register.extra.tpl) and save them in your custom templates directory you only need to have the additional code in the file.

Hope this helps,

Thanks. I don't know jquery, so I wouldn't know how to do that. Wonder if there is a way to hide a certain price via css or something and only have one show on the one page and the other show all the other times.
