Problem: I would like to display a View using PHP. The View displays sibling posts of the current post using a shortcode attribute in the post relationship filter.
Solution: Use the post relationships API to get the parent post ID, then pass that value into the render_view API using the shortcode attribute name as the key.
global $post; // the current episodic review post object. Depending on how you implement this code you may need to change this
$parent_id = toolset_get_related_post( $post->ID, 'game-with-episodic-content', 'parent', array(), null );
$args = array(
'name' => 'related-episodic-reviews-sidebar',
'wpvrelatedto' => $parent_id
);
echo render_view( $args );

How to use the Views API on WordPress Archives?
Solution:
WordPress archives do not support the Views API.
Only
pre_get_posts
will work on archives.
You can, however, add queries to the Archive by setting them in the Toolset WordPress archive, if you enable the full custom view (Screen options of the archive)
There, you can add queries by fields, terms, and more.
Problem: I have a View that shows Events as a list, and also on a map. If the Event is "private", I do not want to show it on the map but I want it to appear in the results.
Solution: Use a checkbox field or a radio field to set the public / private status of each item. Use conditional HTML to show or not show the map marker for each result.
