CiviDiscount in Core?
May 08, 2012, 06:56:39 pm
I am a little unclear about the future of CiviDiscount  https://github.com/dlobo/org.civicrm.module.cividiscount/

- under the current agnostic MIH initative will CiviDiscount become part of civicrm core or will the initiative make it easier for Drupal or CMS specific modules to be used acrossed platforms and there will be no change to the CiviDiscount

- are there other initiatives ongoing to put CiviDiscount into core?  If not, can anyone provide an estimate for what it would take to put it into core?

After a couple of hours of getting the extension to install (it does take longer if you don;t install the right tagged version which led to some foreign key constraint violoations and rebuilding the devel site :-)  the functionality is something that we would like to support, but  we really need a more "bullet" proof module/extension for the live site.  We would be willing to help contribute make this part of core

best,
Merlise

hey merlise:

1. The MIH initiative is to allow extensions to be CMS agnostic. We are using CiviDiscount as the test bed to ensure an extension as complex as that can be made CMS independent. In 4.2 the install does the right thing and executes the various "install level procedures"

2. There was an MIH a few releases back to support CiviDiscount going forward. That MIH did not make it. I suspect this MIH is a 25 hour project to ensure all the features work and to continue supporting it for future Civi releases.

3. The extension directory should help a lot with regard to what version of the code to use etc. We hope to launch this over the next few months (thanx to the efforts of kasia w and others)

Thanks - so by supporting the MIH initative, will the D6 discount module and all of its functionality (not dependent on Drupal)  be available?    I've tried the 4.1 branch on our devel site, but have not gotten the discount codes to work just yet, so wanted to confirm that would be available in the future.  (the membership discounts are working fine there)

Do you have a sense for when 4.2 is going to be released?   While we could use the current cividiscount extension for 4., I had the sense that the 4.1 version would not be compatible with the schema in 4.2 so would want to avoid using it under 4.1 if that lead to problems later with upgrades.

cheers,
Merlise
