WP Query for Individual Venue

[Marcus]

The Events Calendar Pro already provides the ability to list events by venue, but I have a situation where some venues have their own pages, and I’d like to briefly list the next three events on that page in a sidebar. I’ve been able to do something similar to this regarding categories by using the wp_query like so:
$wp_query->query(‘posts_per_page=’.$show_posts.
‘&post_type=tribe_events’.
‘&tribe_events_cat=’.$my_category_slug
);

Following suit, I attempted variables like “tribe_events_venue” and “tribe_events_venue_id”, but that didn’t take. I also couldn’t find where parameters like “tribe_events_cat” are currently documented for 3.0.

In any case, how would I establish a similar query given the ID or slug of the Venue? Thanks for your time and insight.

It seems the tag you’re looking for is (as opposed to “tribe_events_cat”) is “tribe_venue”

Thanks for the suggestion! Perhaps I’m using it wrong, but it seems “tribe_venue” has no affect on the query, whether I use a venue’s slug or its ID like so:

$wp_query->query(‘posts_per_page=5’.
‘&post_type=tribe_events’.
‘&tribe_venue=art-studio’
);

or:

$wp_query->query(‘posts_per_page=5’.
‘&post_type=tribe_events’.
‘&tribe_venue=1384’
);

Either query just returns the next five upcoming events regardless of venue, as opposed to just the ones appearing in the “art-studio” venue. Am I doing something wrong here, or is this not the right way to go about it?

Okay, I take it this seemingly-simple request is beyond this plug-in’s capabilities. Thanks.

In case anyone else is having this problem, I did figure out the solution by dissecting the existing Tribe Events Pro class files. The easiest way to form this query is by using the TribeEventsQuery::getEvents method, documented here:
http://docs.tri.be/Events-Calendar/class-TribeEventsQuery.html

Specifically, here’s how I setup the query the above situation:
$wp_query = TribeEventsQuery::getEvents( array(‘venue’ => 1384, ‘eventDisplay’ => ‘upcoming’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 5 ), true );
