Bug Report:: tribe_create_venue function creating an event instead of a venue

[James]

Reproduce: Attempt to create a new venue using the tribe_create_venue function. Result is that a new partially populated event is created. The venue is created fine when venue array is provided to tribe_create_event function along with event data.
$venue_test = array(
‘Venue’ => “Test Venue, Rochester, Mn”,
‘Name’ => “Test Venue”,
‘Address’ => “200 1st St”,
‘Country’ => ‘United States’,
‘City’ => “Rochester”,
‘State’ => “MN”,
‘Zip’ => “55902”,
‘ID’ => “MCHS-MN-Rochester”,
‘ParentID’ => “MCHS”,
‘Campus’ => “MCHS”,
‘Type’ => “Building”
);
echo “[“.tribe_create_venue($venue_test).”}”;

Upon review of file “the-event-calender/public/advanced-functions/venue.php” found that createEvent and updateEvent are being called by these methods. Maybe this is supposed to be nested in another keyed array with key of “Venue” according to this? Doesn’t look like the case according to https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/the-events-calendar-advanced-functions-venue-post-type/

Thanks for the report here, James. I’m not sure about this one myself but it looks like something is up. I’ve asked our dev Jonah to take a look so we can get this patched up for the next release as needed. Stay tuned.

Hi James, I’m having problems running tribe_create_venue on it’s own too and I think our documentation might just be out of date. I need to check with one of the other devs though and get some insight. Stay tuned.

Hi James,

Two different un-related issues here:

— There’s an error in our tribe_create_venue() and tribe_update_venue() functions, they should call TribeEventsAPI::createVenue() and TribeEventsAPI::updateVenue() respectively instead of TribeEventsAPI::createEvent() and TribeEventsAPI::updateEvent() – I am going to patch that for 2.0.5 which is our next release. Feel free to patch your own installation in the mean time.

— Your ID, ParentID, Campus and Type arguments are invalid and could cause a conflict when passed to the function (chiefly ID which is a valid argument for the wp_insert_post function but only used for updates). You yourself linked to the list of valid arguments, so please base your arguments on that list. I am assuming that those 4 extra arguments are custom fields/metadata you are trying to add to the venue? If so, you will need to use update_post_meta() [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/update_post_meta] to save that data, something like this: https://gist.github.com/2009346
