billing field validation via hook_civicrm_validate ?
December 30, 2010, 11:59:47 pm
I'm using hooks to implement discount codes successfully but have found an annoyance I'm trying to get around. Sometimes I have 100% discount codes that I had out to certain people each event, sometimes a membership level/group gets people 100% discounts. Is there ANY way in one of the hooks to bypass the billing fields being required? I've found it confuses/freaks people who know they have a 100% discount code and yet they are required to enter credit card info. Has anybody done this before? Thanks!

I think we dont do credit card checks if the amount is zero. You might want to double check and confirm this.

If so, you might want to adjust the templates to hide the credit card fields if the discount is 100%
