CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

We are a non-profit with approximately 400 members. We hold a national conference each year. Membership is paid, and fees are charged for the conference. Currently, we're running Joomla 1.5.x for our website and using some proprietary third party software for membership registration (AMember Pro) and using RegOnline for conference registration.

Ideally, we'd love to migrate everything back into Joomla, using CiviCRM if it seems suitable. Keeping that in mind, I have a some questions:

1. We have a public and members only section of the site. It appears that its not a problem to integrate CiviCRM membership registration with the Joomla registration?

2. When using the Events module, is it possible to recognize a logged in user and either show them the member form or set members only pricing on a generic event form?

3. Does the Events module support the use of discount codes? I couldn't find mention of it specifically.

4. Does the Events module support the selection of various paid sub-events within the main event? For instance, you'd have the main conference fee, but attendees could also select to add a pre-conference session for an added fee.

5. Does the Events module support automatically triggered time based pricing? I.e. early bird, normal, late?

We would love to roll everything back into Joomla with CiviCRM and have a single place for all of our functionality, if possible. Thanks in advance for any answers and/or advice.

Dave-

Thanks for the reply!

In regards to #2, we could certainly have two separate registration pages, so that wouldn't be a problem from my standpoint. #3 might pose more of a problem, since we typically offer percentage discounts for speakers and vendors. Is the ability to add percent and set amount discounts something that is on the roadmap for CiviCRM?

Thanks again for the response Dave. I'll check out that plug-in as well and then probably move forward with a test install.

Regards,
Ron
