@Dave Greenberg
I'm having trouble creating a patch file that looks like the ones on the issues tracker.  Running diff is easy, but the file references are all absolute paths and don't indicate versions.  Also, I can't seem to get all the changes in a single file that doesn't also contain tons of other garbage.  I'm inclined to just post a zip of the changed files if that is not a breach of etiquette.

@sonicthoughts
I can see why tying this to roles would complicate things.  I am just attracted to the thought that noting WHY a discount is applied is so often related to roles anyway (scholarship student vs regular student, speaker vs attendee, etc.).  Plus it provides a built-in way to track/report on discounts.  Arbitrary discounts could be applied by just providing an arbitrary-price field to whatever price set the role uses.  

That said, this isn't the most important thing for me.  I just brought it up because it seemed to provide a very logical work flow.  Other solutions will work for me as long as staff remembers to assign the correct role for any non-standard price.

You might want to download the original file from here http://svn.civicrm.org/civicrm/branches/ and patch it against your file that you changed. This might be helpful :

Alright.  Patch posted here: http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-5766

It's kind of rough around the edges, but hopefully it will be helpful.

Kirk - Thx for stepping up a getting this going. I've updated the spec a bit on your issue (we'll use visibility_id which points to a set of option values to control Public vs. Admin - a bit more flexible than a boolean and opens things up for folks to add other values that are controlled via hooks). We'll try to get this into core for 3.2.

Perhaps the option set could be used to offer prices based on someone's group membership, in addition to "admin only" and "public" prices.   Just my 2 cents.

Sarah - Exactly why we decided to use an extensible option value group - so at some point folks could use hooks to expose price set fields with other visibility_id values based on participant role, membership, etc. :-)

Just checking to see what the status is of this issue/patch. I see that it's still listed as "in verification":

http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-5766

In my installation of 3.2, much of the code from the patch has been incorporated, but the function isn't available.

Oops -- strike that. I can use it, although the issue isn't listed as "resolved." Sorry!!!

Reviving an old thread, sorry, But I'm no CiviCRM coding guru (although I'm known to TDD most things from scratch...) so I'm trying to navigate my way through this muddle of thousands of forum topics and millions of Jira-issues, but none similar to mine..., to get a clue on if what I want has been talked about before, or even implemented already

What I want is to be able to use the admin-only price sets when I import participants or add multiple participants from a search.

Should that be possible? Or is my CiviCRM (3.4.8) just not configured correctly for this?

You should be able to see all fields (public and admin only) in a price set associated with an event when doing "Add Contacts to Event" action from search results (i.e. "add multiple participants from a search"). I just retested that on my 4.1 install and I don't think this was added or changed recently.

Importing price set values is not currently supported, and is a non-trivial feature to implement. If your organization is interested in sponsoring this - we can potentially investigate and provide an estimate of the cost.

Thanks for looking into the issue. It didn't work in our live site (Joomla 1.5, CiviCRM 3.3.5), but I have confirmed that it works in a backup version wich I've upgraded to 3.4.8. So now I'm looking at upgrading a live site close to an upcoming critical event...

I'm assuming the change between 3.3.5 and 3.4.8 (in this respect) is a smallish one somewhere. Would it be an option for me to extract a patch between the versions and see if I can get the options working in 3.3.5? Where would I start looking for that diff?

You can use the Issue Tracker search (link above) to find the issue. Then click the Source tab on the issue. This will give you a list of files which have changed - the triangle icon links to diffs formatted as patches.

Thank you for your support!

Turned out it was a simple two-line fix in PriceSet.tpl which I found with your pointers. Now we can search and add participants *with* admin price set in 3.3.5 too!

On a similar note, is there a way to override the event fee on a per-participant basis so an admin could enter an arbitrary value?
