CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have a Drupal 5 CiviCRM 2.0.7 site where we want to offer a discount price to events to certain select customers. I am not finding a way natively to accomplish this, and so my proposed solution would be to have a special price set field with a negative value. We would HIDE that field for regular users using CSS and then give the special "discount" clients a unique link, with an appended variable in the URL, that would trigger a bit of jQuery code which would reveal (and check off) that field.

Are there any better suggestions?

Looking ahead ... 2.2 includes a buildAmount hook which allows you (in a separate Drupal module) to modify the price array based on any conditions you can detect programmatically (e.g. user role, CiviMember membership, etc.).
