Expose page template functionality via XML-RPC

Description

One aspect of Pages in WordPress that is not currently exposed is page templates. This was mentioned by Srinivas Vedantam on the wp-xmlrpc list:

http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-xmlrpc/2008-February/000168.html

Adding a new page_template field to page methods and providing a new method for listing available page templates seems reasonable. wp.getPageTemplates?

I'll put together a patch, with the goal of getting this in after 2.5 is released.

  • keywords changed from needs-patch to has-patch.

I've created a patch that exposes the page template via the 'wp_page_template' field in wp.getPage and can be set via wp.newPage/editPage. I also included a new method, wp.getPageTemplates, which returns a struct of the available page templates. Here's an example of what it returns: 

{
    Archives = "archives.php",
    Default = "default", 
    Links = "links.php", 
    TP1 = "tp1.php"
}

The key in the struct is the template description and the value is the one used by the wp_page_template field. So to use the TP1 template wp_page_template would be set to 'tp1.php'.

If you provide an empty wp_page_template field no changes will happen. You can't delete the setting, only change it to another value.

The end of the patch looks off. Seems Subversion got confused when generating the diff. So far I haven't been able to convince it to generate a correct one :-(
