There is a membership field type Multiple Choice with Extra Charge. If it accepted negative dollar amounts, it could be used for this.
More generally, I suggest all extra charge fields, including event registration forms, allow negative dollar amounts so that discounts can be specified.

Could this please be merged with "Allow 0 and Negative Price in Extra Cost Items" - https://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist/suggestions/19709806-allow-0-and-negative-price-in-extra-cost-items?tracking_code=4a14a2a09553145b4a4e8606caf1f75a
And please consider the relatively modest resources needed to implement this, compared to higher priority requests for massive changes or new features.

This easy* change could solve a number of problems, especially if the price calculation were not shown for zero cost.
1) It would allow discounts - e.g., Number of attendees x cost, and then Number of members included in that x discount.
2) After a deadline, I want to switch from a prepay online price to a higher pay at the door price, but not generate an invoice. Setting the cost to 0 would do that, but the system won't let me.

And if the cost amount could be zero, we could use this for the numeric-only field we need but don't have.

We find the invoices a mixed blessing. The nag popup for events and renewals is useful. We can print out a registration list to use at the door to see who still needs to pay.
But we don't do our bookkeeping in WA, so it would be helpful to be able to just void out all invoices in an event, or better yet, have them automatically void themselves after the event.
And please, please - an option to never email an invoice to a member. It's just noise to them, and the more useless emails they get, the less likely they are to read the ones we want them to.
This goes for both events and membership renewal, although I think there's a way to avoid the email in membership.

It just worked for me.
I don't know why, but the session number has never showed in our Upcoming Events gadgets. But when I added a new UE gadget, it was there. And when I added this global javascript, it went away.
We're using Skyline Downtown theme, if it matters.

Looking at this further - if an organization chooses not to enable this policy, non-paying members will still be blocked from registering once their status becomes Lapsed.

We are trying to implement the online renewal process. Our members remain in good standing for two months past the renewal date.
So for us this is a bug. As is, we simply can't use member-only registration at all from the date we send out the invoice until we drop unpaid members.
The renewal process needs to accommodate organizations with policies like ours and Ines's.
Unfortunately it's not simple, because other organizations may want to prevent registration until renewal dues are paid. This needs to be an option for each organization.
(Where to put it is unclear. Maybe on the Settings | Events page, which now has no settings.)

Even though it is not a direct implementation, I hope this could be helpful:
We just launched integration with Integromat platform, which helps to build automated workflows. We also provide several templates for quick start, and one of them allows to copy google calendar events into WA events. So if you share a google calendar for events submission, then the scenario could copy submitted events into your Wild Apricot account.
You can try this integration by this link https://www.integromat.com/en/integration/2275-copy-google-calendar-into-wild-apricot-eventsWalt Bilofsky

OK, I understand.

We need to do this, and I was surprised to find that it's not possible. Is there any logic behind providing this for membership fields and not for contacts?

The following fields should be available in the Directory gadget:
Member since
Renewal due
Membership level
Last login
Balance
Total donated
Subscribed to emails
Event announcements
Member emails and newslettersSome of these would obviously only want to be used on limited access pages.
And perhaps the title of this item should be more general: Additional fields available in Directory gadget.

We want Pending - New members to be able to register for events while awaiting the formality of Board approval. They no longer can, since the feature https://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist/suggestions/8827963-do-not-allow-event-registrations-for-members-in-pe was introduced in March 2017.
This could be fixed by creating a new status "Pending - Trial" which has membership privileges. In the membership level, specify the number of days after which it automatically converts to "Pending - Renewal" and goes into the renewal process.
The online application would need a configuration to set whether the applicant could apply for a trial or regular membership, or both.
If the trial member renews, the membership would not convert from Pending to Active until the conditions:
o Membership applications must be approved by administrator
o Payment has to be received in full before membership is activatedare satisfied, if they are checked in the New Applications workflow settings for that Level.

For repeated (multi-session) events, WA allows sending event reminder emails either before the first session or before every session.
This option should be offered for event announcement emails as well.
There can be events with multiple sessions where people could attend any of them, not necessarily all or none, and announcements should be available for each session.
Until repeated events are implemented, multi-session events are the only way to schedule weekly or monthly repeated events, short of typing each of them individually. This shortcoming of WA should not prevent announcements for this type of event.
This feature would also be useful for scheduling repeated emails not linked to an event, by creating a dummy admin-only event.
