TOPIC: Different pricing

In our case we have two different member levels and for every level we would like to have different pricing.
Meaning there is a standard member (Joomla access level "registered") and a premium member (Joomla access level "special") ...dependant on the level the person who registers for an event should get the correct price displayed. Standard member pays f.i. € 40.00 while the premium member pays just € 20.00.
How can we achieve this as I do not want to create a custom field where the user himself has to say what membership he has, while in the system we have defined this via standard Joomla access level already.
It would be great if the custom fields could be extended with the Joomla access level in same way it is used for standard Joomla articles, categories etc. as this would allow me to create two custom fields with different prices. This is by the way how it works with the component "Attend Events" that I am about to replace by DT Register now (does not work with Joomla 1.5.x). This is the only regression I can see right now with DT Register to build our solution ...or maybe I have missed something and there is another way to achieve this.

Any hints ?

There is currently not a parameter to auto-apply a member discount that varies based on user type. We'll try to add that for a future release. For now, you'd have to use a custom field.

I have workarounded this by using discount codes and communicate the code to the premium members only so that they can benefit from the reduced price while standard members need to pay the full price.

But as stated it is a workaround and requires the user to use a code that identifies them as a premium member - while this should be done by the system (DT Register) as they are already classified via standard Joomla access level.
Especially when you use JACL Plus or other ACL tools.
And this will become even more a high desirable feature when Joomla 1.6 comes out.

May I kindly ask you for a statement in this threat whether this enhancement will be part of next major release of DT Register which is 2.7 ?

This ACL pricing will not be a part of the initial 2.7 release, but will likely be added soon after. It will DEFINITELY be added for the Joomla 1.6 version.
