CiviEvent Payment / Registration Question
August 23, 2010, 07:41:02 pm
I am hoping someone can help me sort this issue out. 

I currently have a number of sample events up and running in a CiviEvents calendar in Drupal.  The payment processor for paid registrations is working and all is well, except that I need payment to be contingent upon membership status.  I need to set the events calendar so that non-members (site visitors not logged into the Drupal site who have not purchased membership) need to pay to attend events while logged in members can register for these same events for free. 

I'm not sure what would be the best way to do this.  I am thinking the easiest way would be to set two price sets (one set at $20 and one set at $0.00 for members) and then hide the $0.00 option from unauthenticated users and make it visible only to the logged in members, but in the visibility field in the price set screen I only see two options -- public or admin visibility -- even though i have linked "authenticated users" with the contact group every new member is automatically added to. 

Can anyone offer any advice about how to set the visibility for the $0.00 for authenticated users or any better ideas about how to set up free civievent registration for members and paid registration for non-members for the same events?

Thank you so much for any help!

might be easiest to setup two event registration forms. one for members which is free and the other for site visitors with a fee

Depending on your level of comfort with coding you could also customise this using a hook. There is an example in the sample code that is a really good starting point for this sort of requirement - if this sounds like you start by reading about hooks in the floss manual

Or if you "trust" the visitors enough, you could simply override the template and add a test if the user is not authenticated, and use jquery to hide the free option.

Meaning that it's easy to "hack" and set the price to free anyway, but as it's for an event, might be that people won't register for free even if they aren't members cause they will get caught cheating at the door ?

priceset does not have a hook as yet. so doing this via a hook is possible but significantly harder (the buildform hook will need to go in and do some major fix on the form elements etc)

Hi Lobo -- I wasn't aware that I could set up two separate registration pages for the same event.  Would I bet able to link these two pages to the same civievent or would I have to make two identical events with the same name and information and set one as free and one as paid?

Thanks!  

(And thank you to everyone else who offered suggestions -- I was looking into hooks as well but I wanted to see if there were a simpler solution first).
