I'm trying to get the cividiscount extension working and I'm having a problem with getting access to pricing for membership purchases. We have overridden hook_civicrm_membershipTypeValues() to modify the price and label of memberships when a discount code is entered. Unfortunately, the hook isn't always called when a membership is purchased.

Using the main contribution form 'Membership and Renewal' in a standard test site calls the hook, with a flow something like:

civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=2 ->
CRM_Event_Form_Registration_Register ->
CRM_Member_BAO_Membership::buildMembershipTypeValues() ->
CRM_Utils_Hook::membershipTypeValues()


But when I submit a credit card membership using the contact tab form, the hook isn't called. The data flow is something like:

civicrm/contact/view [submit credit card membership] ->
civicrm/contact/view/membership?reset=1&action=add&cid=69&context=membership&mode=live
CRM_Member_Form_Membership ->
buildCustomData() [ajax call]->
civicrm/ajax/memType ->
CRM_Member_Page_AJAX::getMemberTypeDefaults()

Unfortunately this last call directly injects the price onto the form with no hook called.

Looking for suggestions for how to proceed. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.

Opened as http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-11028

so seems like the backend form does things in a very very different way than the front end form and hence does not make it as hook friendly as the frontend form

In the first form, we process all values at once (and hence send it to the hook), in the backend form we do this via ajax, one membership at a time

wanna get on irc tomorrow and maybe we can chat and figure out a solution

thanx
