## 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.
