IOS Reservations 4.x feature requests

[datahell]

IOSR Hotels XML/JSON API is under development. I post a screen shot of a plugin that uses the API to generate the HTML output.
Using the API makes extremely easy to display your hotels on any site regardless where IOS Reservations is installed.
The XML/JSON API is the replacement of IOSR Connector and it is integrated without any additional cost in IOSR 4.x Hotels.

The Hotel API plugin for Elxis 4.x has many configuration options and you can enable/disable the display of all blocks shown in the screen shot  (for example you can select not to display the hotel's description or the contact form).

Usage
To display a hotel with full booking functionality using the Hotel API plugin open any Elxis article and write {hotelapi}api_id,api_key{/hotelapi}
That's all! The plugin and the IOSR API will take care everything else!

The plugin and the API are both under development. So what you see in this screen shot is not the finished output.

i see that hotel bookings feature is very close to finish.. well done and looking forward to see it

it would be super if the elxis team schedule the development of two more features regarding tourism... car rentals and transfers

thank you

[datahell]

This is not an Elxis Team project.
IOS Reservations is a commercial Elxis extension by Is Open Source
I would have finished IOSR 4.x by now if it wasn't the API. It needs a lot of work to finish the API.

[how]

Yes sorry, of course is an '' Is Open Source '' - Ioannis Sanos, commercial extension.
I understand is too early but I would be gradeful if you schedule for the future the car rentals and transfers extensions developement datahell.

has a nice weekend

Hi,

Almost october now. Any news on release date?

Thanks

[datahell]

IOSR 4.x is ready. I currently work on the XML/JSON API, I cannot release IOSR4 with some parts of it (such as the API) incomplete. When I finish the API I will have some news for you.

[datahell]

Today I made the first reservations via the XML/JSON API! The API is fully usable now.
I want to beautify some things in the next days and it will be ready.
Note that the new API for remote bookings supports ALL payment methods assigned to the hotel, even the online ones like paypal.

Hello
I'm new to the forum. I am very interested in purchasing IOSR 4.x
I apologize for the delay of these questions. I know that the program is almost finished.
I wanted to ask, however, only a few clarifications:
Print the voucher after the reservation and payment is possible?
there is a command "Release" of the rooms in allotment at a fixed date by entering
day / month / year?
thanks

[datahell]

You can print the voucher in IOSR 4.x and moreover download it as PDF document.
Can you please clarify what you mean by saying "release of the rooms"?

[openita]

many hotels allow tour operators a number of rooms in allotment for the sale up to a certain date. after this date, if the rooms are not sold by the tour operators, the rooms are "returned" (release) and return to hotel availability.

[datahell]

No, this is not supported, although it could be done via the XML/JSON API.

[openita]

please can you explain me, the exact features of XML / JSON API...

[datahell]

IOSR Hotels API is a REST API and a way to query IOSR Hotels from third party sites in order to collect, update and synchronize hotels, rooms or other data.
You can get API response as an XML document or a JSON encoded string. Working with the API is a technical subject addressed only to PHP developers.

[QAZI]

DEAR SIR

 we have seen in the most sites that a room is booked for two adults  and the Room rate is calculated by a double room for two adults but if one more adult shares the same room  or child if the child age is above five years he is charged as an extra bed  in the room and he  is provided by extra matresses in the same room.  is there any option in the IOS Reservation 4.x  where we can add the amount for  extra bed that will be calculated in the room rate for example if double room is INR 2000 and extra bed is INR 500 the the room rent will be INR  2500    as we have seen in othersites like makemytrip.com or yatra.com in india and also request to add features that an indian market requires like  indian holidays cc avenue payment gateways etc.
