PHP examples use the PHP Client Library with SimpleXML

Description

object create_departure ( SimpleXmlElement $departure_data , int $channel )

Parameters

$departure_data

SimpleXmlElement containing the raw departure information

$channel

The Channel that the tour belongs to

Example

// Set our Channel ID
$channel = 3930;

// Start building the departure XML
$departure = new SimpleXMLElement('<departure />');

// Set the Tour this departure should be added to
$departure->addChild('tour_id', 1);

// Set the start and end date
$departure->addChild('start_date', '2012-11-22');
$departure->addChild('end_date', '2012-11-22');

// Set the code, in this example using the standard TourCMS time format
$departure->addChild('code', '13:00-16:00');

// Append a container for the components to be booked
// Rates for a Tour can be found via the "Show Tour" API method
$rates = $departure->addChild('rates');

// Here we'll just use one rate as an example
$rate = $departure->addChild('rate');

// Use the correct Rate ID
$rate->addChild('rate_id', 'r1');

// Set the customer price
// The currency for this will be the account base currency
$rate->addChild('customer_price', '100');

// Set the cost price
// The currency for this will be the cost currency configured on the Tour
$rate->addChild('supplier_cost', '90');

// Query the TourCMS API, creating the departure
$result = $tourcms->create_departure($departure , $channel);

if($result->error == "OK") {
	print "Departure created, the ID is: ";
	print $result->tour->departure_id;
} else {
	print $result->error;
}

Departure created, the ID is: 12345

C# examples use the .Net Client Library

Example

string createdeparture = @"<departure>
  <tour_id>1</tour_id>
  <start_date>2022-11-23</start_date>
  <end_date>2022-11-23</end_date>
  <code>13:00-16:00</code>
  <rates>
    <rate>
      <rate_id>r1</rate_id>
      <customer_price>85</customer_price>
      <supplier_cost>85</supplier_cost>
    </rate>
    <rate>
      <rate_id>r2</rate_id>
      <customer_price>85</customer_price>
      <supplier_cost>85</supplier_cost>
    </rate>
  </rates>
</departure>";
XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();
xdoc.LoadXml(createdeparture);
XmlDocument response = myTourCMS.CreateDeparture(xdoc, 3930);
Console.WriteLine(response.OuterXml);
				  		
				  	

Output

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<response>
  <request>POST /c/tour/datesprices/dep/manage/new.xml</request>
  <error>OK</error>
  <tour>
    <account_id>4069</account_id>
    <channel_id>3930</channel_id>
    <tour_id>1</tour_id>
    <departure_id>95480</departure_id>
  </tour>
</response>
