Discounts with Webform_CiviCRM and Event Registration

Question

On Drupal 7.x and CiviCRM 4.6 and using latest CiviDiscount, is it possible to offer member discounts on a webform?

Specifically, we are offering 5 Webinars (all CiviEvents), which are included in our Webform as components. We notice that when we make a CiviDiscount with an automatic member discount, it does not apply to our webform submission.

Is there an alternative way to enable this functionality? I've thought about having Member pricing be another select option and using jQuery to check the users role, but that is more effort to maintain. Any thoughts?

The ultimate goal is to have 1 form where people can sign up for many events at once, and come back and sign up for other ones later, with one payment. We looked at CiviEvent Shopping Cart but it has some significant design flaws currently.

Answer 1

There are ways in which to do discounts in webform civicrm - conditionals / fields using native webform fields and native webform conditionals.

In your specific case an easy way to handle this would be to have two webform civicrm forms - one with member pricing and one with non-member pricing [you can set the Amount fields to what you need it to be] and then use the native drupal permissions to show/hide (visibility settings) a block that links to the proper form.

So if you're logged in as a member and have a member role -> show member register block; if you're not logged in -> show non member register block.

And yes you can sign up for more than one event using webform civicrm effectively creating a shopping cart; the only issue there is that the CiviCRM GUI does not understand you can pay for 2 or more events with 1 payment (so it will look like you paid too much for each individual event);

Answer 2

According to the wiki Webforms do not support CiviCRM price-sets or discount codes. You could try creating an issue and asking what it would take to get CiviDiscount supported.
