Discounting events has been requested on the forums a few times. It also popped up both on IRC yesterday and was also needed on civicrm.org for our upcoming UK Training Camp. We decided to see if we could implement this via hooks and minimal / no changes to the core code. Turned out we can implement this this feature using three civicrm hooks and a helper fuction. We improved the core a wee bit by allowing the buildForm hook to inform the tpl system of any form elements added. The tpl then places these form elements at the top of the form. An event can have zero or more coupons. Coupons for an event are stored in the option group / value table. Each coupon code is a string (chosen by admin) and can be used a certain number of times. Coupons can also be used forever. A valid coupon gives the user a percentage discount on the event. Giving the coupon a 100% value basically gives the user a free registration. Coupons can be sent in via the URL or can be entered into the registration form.

CiviCamp day1 started with good number of participants with a total count of 14. We started with introduction and complaints about civicrm. Most of the complaints were about APIs, upgrades and support of previous versions. Discussions on APIs are scheduled for day2. Regarding upgrades it looked that older version (1.9 or below) generally have problems with upgrades since it requires some technical expertise.

CiviCRM India team had an opportunity to attend the OWASP-conference, New Delhi. It was a two day conference but we - Kurund, Sunil & I decided to attend the second day training/workshops just to stay away from theoretical lectures. We landed in Delhi on day-1 evening to avoid any last minute rush. And we realized the temperature in Mumbai was much better and Delhi being a bit hot.

By deepak.srivastavaFiled under There are many screens in CiviCRM where the options in one drop-down affect what you see in a second or third drop-down menu. For example, when you do an Import or Export, and select Email - you then get a second drop-down to select a location (Home, Work, etc.). The widget which we use for this is PEAR's Hierarchical Select.
