Family Plans

Joomla! 1.5.26
CB 1.8
CBSubs 1.3.0 RC2

Our Association offers Full membership subscriptions and Full members can also subscribe up to 4 Family members (at a reduced rate).

I have set up a parent Plan (Full) with four child plans (Fam Mem 1, Fam Mem 2, Fam Mem 3, Fam Mem 4). At Registration, the subscription plans are offered first so that the potential member can see the membership options and how much he will have to pay, followed by the registration form.

There are 3 CB Fields for each potential family member (Title 1, First Name 1, Surname 1, Title 2, First Name 2, Surname 2, Title 3, etc.). Is there a way that I can only display the fields for the selected Family Plans and hide the rest?

I have tried hiding the fields in the Full Plan settings, and then hiding the fields for subsequent family members in the Family Plans' settings, but the Full Plan's settings override the children's settings.

You'll need to edit your non-family plans and hide those fields on the Workflows tab. This will only hide them on registration so you'll need CBSubs Fields Tabs Protection to then hide them on profile edit and profile view.

Sorry, Kyle, but I tried that (see my first post) and the 12 Family fields are hidden. But when a new registrant selects one or more of the family subscriptions the family field remain hidden.

To clarify, at registration I offer the full membership (chosen by default) and the first of the family memberships. Selecting the latter should, as well as offering the second of the family memberships (and so on up to four), present the family fields for the first family member in the registration form.

Diagrammatically the Registration should offer:

Full Member Plan (Selected by Default)
Family Plan 1 (unselected)

.....contact details fields etc.

OR

Full Member Plan (Selected by Default)
Family Plan 1 (selected)
Family Plan 2 (unselected)

.....contact details fields etc.

Family Member 1 fields

OR

Full Member Plan (Selected by Default)
Family Plan 1 (selected)
Family Plan 2 (selected)
Family Plan 3 (unselected)

.....contact details fields etc.

Family Member 1 fields
Family Member 2 fields


etc.

Unfortunately the feature you need does not exist. You'd need to show fields based off plan selection rather then hide fields, which isn't available. I recommend restructuring your plans so they can't select full membership at the same time as family. Maybe something like the below.

Full Membership (exclusive, hides family fields)
Family Membership (exclusive)
- Family 1
- Family 2
- Family 3

Thanks for the clarification.

Would the CB Conditional Plugin allow me to achieve this, when it's working with CB Subs 1.3 Stable? Is CB Conditional compatible with Joomla 1.5?

No, CB Conditional has no way of knowing what plan is and is not selected. CB Conditional is compatible with J1.5 though.
