Cividiscount not working? [Was] Tying event pricing to membership?
January 06, 2015, 09:50:55 pm
[Update: (Should possibly be a new thread)] - please see more recent comments - my 100% discount code is not working "as advertised"
[/update]

[original post]
I'm creating my very first Event and alas, it has complex pricing.
My specific question is how do I offer a discounted price for current members of the organisation?

e.g. Standard registration
Non members $200, Members $160 Children $80
Earlybird registration
Non-members $165, Members $125, Children $70

[update - I managed to install civiDiscount manually]

Have you read about the CiviDiscount extension? https://civicrm.org/extensions/cividiscount-extension  (I haven't used it myself.)

I am aware of cividiscount (and had been planning to use it for a graduate discount on membership) but I couldn't get it installed on our old server (it insisted a directory set to 777 wasn't writable!). Just tried on the new server and can't open the list of available extensions.

Ideally this could be based on Drupal role - there's another role who need to register for the event but who will be free.

I've done this - what i did was to create 3 events:
members
non-members
students
I have a hidden menu with 3 events listed.
I have an article with 3 buttons to reference the 3 event forms.
I've got ACL to accept anonymous, but have in the article to PLEASE LOGIN save them typing time, yadda yadda
The admin staff has to proof the registrations to ensure a non-member doesn't register as a member, thankfully not that many registrants so it is not too onerous.

Reason I had to take this approach is i am on Joomla, and cividiscount is for Drupal only SNIFF.

I was using this extension for one of my sites : https://civicrm.org/extensions/group-based-pricing

It was a dream come true, but it seems to have broken in one of the updates as I no longer see the additional options in the forms.

This is a site-breaker for me, and I'm sure for others, as this functionality is pretty useful, necessary even for some workflows.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd be super grateful.

I eventually managed to install civiDiscount via FTP, and created a price set with earlybird pricing + automatic discounting for logged-in members.

Two problems remain - one because we only have offline payment - if members need to renew their subscription, they can't register (or get discount) until we've marked the renewal contribution as complete.

The other is that I created a 100% discount for volunteers and organisers, with the intention that they would be given a code to activate the discount - but I can't find any documentation on how to make a discount code field display in the form.

When you create the code, apply it to the specific event (you need to expand the discounts for events section in setup) and it should show on the top of the form. You can also set it to apply to specific line items if you are using a price set through the 'Price Field Options' drop down.

It does seem to be appearing reliably now, but even though I have selected the price sets in use for the discount, applying it is neither adding a line item nor changing the total fee due.
