Shortcodes

Hello there,

I’m not sure if anyone is able to help me but I’m trying to create a shortcode that will display a list of upcoming events in date order from the _EventStartDate meta.

Here is what I have so far…

/*************************************************************************
	* Shortcode - What's Next
	*************************************************************************/
	add_shortcode('jmit_events_whatsnext', 'jmit_events_whatsnext_shortcode');
	function jmit_events_whatsnext_shortcode(){
		global $post;
		ob_start();

		$args = array( 'posts_per_page' => 2, 'post_type' => 'tribe_events' );
		$lastposts = get_posts( $args );
		foreach ( $lastposts as $post ) :
		  setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
			<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
			<?php the_content(); ?>
		<?php endforeach;
		wp_reset_postdata(); 

        $myvariable = ob_get_clean();
        return $myvariable;
	}

However it does not appear to respond to the ‘posts_per_page’ argument, it just lists every event.

Has anyone got any ideas or pointers?

Thanks very much!
Jason
