Hi,

Here are a few things I'd like to see in CiviEvent which I didn't see on the road map - although in some cases I've seen them discussed. I may have missed them though... I'll log the appropriate ones on advice.

1) Ability to set a price by date parameters (i.e. Early payment date)

2) Ability to set a price by group / membership type

3) Ability to record payment of an amount of money for an event that differs from the fee amount - i.e. if someone has sent a cheque / internet payment for too little we should still enter & record it and send a receipt

4) Ability to change fee level when editing a pending registration - at the moment I have to delete & re-create the event and manually delete the pending contribution record as well

5) I note there are fields for fee amounts when the payment processor returns this information. Paypal standard doesn't but it would be really useful if I could set them somewhere so I could report on the net amount. There is a field for net amount but it isn't populated for me. Fees generally consist of a flat fee & a % fee so being able to enter these against payment processors & have the net amount calculated would be a real bonus

6) Report of total takings from each event (I'm trying to do my own custom search for this so will let you know how I go although mine would be an indication of what I mean rather than of a quality to include)

7) Radio button for payment type when registering for a fee event - i.e. they choose a button for the payment processor (default) or the pay later option rather than a check box for pay later. Both titles are already customisable. At the moment it's not clear that by not choosing 'pay later' they are choosing to pay by credit card

Functionality around the different roles for an event. At the moment I can't see how to ensure that a 'host' doesn't have a fee attached. Or to make sure they can be added even though the event is full

One more - it's easy to record a payment against an event twice if you go in and edit the event because there's no way to see when you are editing an event how much has already been recorded against the event
