Plugin Description
This plugin is intended to be useful for template developers
New in version 0.4
- added ‘object’ (page object) in every $default_theme_pages item for fast access.
- added all default pages to wp toolbar, inside ‘site name’, to increase user experience.
How to use
Add this code in your functions.php.
global $default_theme_pages;
$default_theme_pages = array(
array(
'name' => 'home', // initial slug page / id for templating - access functions
'title' => 'Homepage', // page title
'option' => 'page_on_front', // option page id ( stores the page id in an option, use only in theese cases)
'description' => 'homepage' // description
),
array(
'name' => 'blog',
'title' => 'Blog',
'option' => 'page_for_posts',
'description' => 'blog'
),
array(
'name' => 'contact',
'title' => 'Contact me!',
'description' => 'Contact form page'
)
);
Tips
- After the pages are created automatically, you can change their title and slug without problem.
- If you add an
option names: page_on_front and page_for_posts, you will block the home-page and the blog-page on your site.
Templating
You can template using ID or name (setted up in $default_theme_pages global variable ), something like:
page-131.php or page-contact.php (If you change the page slug, this will still work because ‘contact’ was defined as pagename if $default_theme_pages global variable).
For detect if you’re in that page:
dtp_is_page('contact')
Getting a default page id:
$page_id = dtp_get_page_id('contact');
This method is more quick than get_page_by_path because page ID is stored on global variable.
