Probably not a bug, but needs workaround (MER and VD together)

Incidental my annual sales for my educational program has opened an we are collecting revenue. I have had complaints from two purchasers that they are not receiving a Volume Discount. I chased down the problem: MER purchasers miss Volume Discount with one overlooked link. To see, click on my website link that takes you to the MAIN REGISTRATION page with Event Espresso shortcode:

http://litchfieldlacrosse.org/crosse/event-registration-open/

The fix is probably just a configuration that I could not find in EE check boxes. I also poured thru the following PHP Templates because I know that I can deactivate the LINK in php to fix my situation once i locate it:

\template\multi_registration_page.php
\template\shopping_cart.php

I also cracked open this file to look for the link in here, but decided to write it up on your support forum because it must be an easy fix once its located:

\functions\cart.php

Let me describe the action that bypasses VOLUME DISCOUNT and continues to follow a different MER registration path. I want to block this side path and everything will work for this season!

A typical MER purchaser will ADD TO CART then VIEW CART to make their restoration then payment. For MER to work will VOLUME DISCOUNT, customers must do this. Please try it to see that the Volume Purchase drop-down box appears on the EE SHOPPING CART.

Go back to MAIN REGISTRATION PAGE (back one, but you may need to clear the cart with the RED ICON button in the upper right-hand of cart.

ADD TO CART may be necessary in the registration table choices to match the user flow that I am about to describe. Instead of ADD TO CART, click the bold H3 heading which appears as:

“2014 Competitive Player”

This heading links the purchaser into a different MER purchasing path which bypasses Volume Discount. Please try it, to experience the action you will need to put gibberish into my required forms. At the bottom of that registration form, there is another “Add More Players (click to toggle, limit 2)” button/link which allows the continuation of adding more attendees by MER. If my customer uses this approach a 4.8% discount will not be provided to this customer.

All I want to do is the DELETE the linking code for this H3 title. If I do that, all my customers will be required to click ADD TO CART. Simple one I find the PHP code that created that H3 Link.

It’s in templates/event_list_display.php line 43.
You can also turn off the option in the event editor, “Display registration form”.

Thank you its resolved. I knew that there would be a check box that would fix this situation, I just couldn’t figure out which one or where.

There is a lot of versatility built into this system once you look into the template PHP. Thanks again
