We are hosting an event that has 4 priced options and 1 free option.  We also have to enable "Pay Later" because of the free option (a guest pass).  Without "pay later" engaged, the user would have to run a $0.00 transaction through his credit card.

The "pay later" checkbox can turn off the credit card entry portion of the screen, but my users are confused about having to select BOTH the "Guest Pass for $0.00" and the "I have a Guest Pass" that is the label for the "pay later" checkbox.

Would it not make more sense to have the credit card portion of the screen turned off by default, and enabled only when the user selects a non-zero price option?  If you do that, you can stop differentiating between free events and paid events.  Why have two ways to get to almost the same place?

We also have to use the 'price set" feature - which makes an ugly-looking 2-tiered price list on the event page, because there seems to be no way to defeat the "default" value using the simple price list you can enter on the event fees page.  I want them to actively choose one!

I just tried that.  The CC portion does not disappear as it does for the pay later, but it does let you complete the transaction.

My programming skills with templates and java are not up to that task right now.  I have made some changes to the Elevon.php file (elevon payment processor).  How do I go about publishing that back to the community?

Thanks!
