Thanks Pete! 

Out of curiosity - if that is the case then why is there an admin/public setting?  (selecting these should not be an option for the user, which I think was the reason they were set up that way, back when we used the regular membership form and not price sets.  Just want to make sure that I don;t  allow users to renew free memberships :-)

cheers,

Kurund - Is the automatic discount on event pages for members fixed under 4.2.6?   or do I need to wait and upgrade to 4.2.7 to see the change?  (I am under D6/C4.2.6 currently)


I selected the list of membership types
and then selected the event page

When I go to the event page and logged in with a membership type that should have a discount, no discounts are evident (the page in question does not use pricesets), but I have also tried with pricesets and no luck either. 

best,
Merlise





thanks!

I found the CiviDiscount extension listed on the civicrm.org and it looked like the solution to a membership discount program that the 501c3 organization I volunteer with has been running offline because we could not apply it through our online renewals in CiviCRM.  I downloaded the file, followed the installation instructions on github and when I started having problems, I went back to github to look for help/information and there was an entirely different file name available for download. 
I am not a programmer/developer which means I do lack some experience where it counts...but I am not a complete dolt (I've managed to set up a Wordpress site and get an install of CiviCRM working pretty well...)  I've noticed a lot of recent activity on the project and believe I downloaded an older or in between version of the CiviDiscount extension.  The file name is dlobo-org.civicrm.module.cividiscount-d0c8187  I am getting the following error code Fatal error: Cannot make non static method CRM_Core_DAO::fields() static in class CDM_DAO_Item in /home/xxx/xxx.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm-extensions/dlobo-org.civicrm.module.cividiscount-d0c8187/CDM/DAO/Item.php on line 367 I can't disable or uninstall CiviDiscount.  I have seen this error referred to as the "static field" issue, and I believe I have seen a solution that involves executing code on the civicrm MySQL database but now I cannot find it and am a bit concerned it might not be the right solution for the unusually named extension file I managed to install.
If someone could PLEASE help me fix this issue so I can uninstall, I promise to stay out of the way until there is a stable release for the current version of CiviCRM and/or until I am a little more dangerous with php and MySQL.  I am currently running CiviCRM 4.1.3 by the way (and can't update the core until I can uninstall this!)
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

I was able to disable CiviDiscount by following the instructions in this post: http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,25511.msg107920.html#msg107920 (Thanks) BUT I still got error:Fatal error: Cannot make non static method CRM_Core_DAO::fields() static in class CDM_DAO_Item in /xxx/user/domain.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm-extensions/dlobo-org.civicrm.module.cividiscount-d0c8187/CDM/DAO/Item.php on line 367    So, I went to the IRC and Mr. Lobo gave me the following SQL script to run: select v.* from civicrm_option_value v, civicrm_option_group g where g.name like '%system_extens%' AND v.option_group_id = g.id;  The script did not fix the problem, but I was finally able to get to System Settings menu without an error, so I deleted my extensions directory, went to System Settings and removed the addresses from "Directories" and "Resource URLs."  This was the ONLY extension I was running so this worked for me.  If you are running more than one extension and you don't want to remove them all and start over, you will need to selectively remove the directories related to the extension you want to remove.  I hope this info will help some other folks!

Members who have membership created offline still are unable to have the automatic discount apply even though they are now selectable in the list when creating the discount code.

I see a discount text field appearing in the participant entry for an event.

But I don't see anything on the online event registration pages.
Is that what it is supposed to be doing?

It makes a lot of sense to me that a discount option is also given to online registrants.

Yes, I did
In d7 with 4.2.8
and
In d6 with 4.2.8

In both cases no discount text field appeared on Public Registration page.

It did on Register Participant page in CiviCRM admin.

I was able to get it working on our site. I just wish I could apply a discount to specific event types instead of having to go in and add each individual event to the settings.
