<h4>This plugin is intended to be useful for template developers</h4>
<h4>New in version 0.4</h4>
<ul>
<li>added ‘object’ (page object) in every $default_theme_pages item for fast access.</li>
<li>added all default pages to wp toolbar, inside ‘site name’, to increase user experience.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How to use</h4>
<p>Add this code in your <em>functions.php</em>.</p>
<pre><code>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'
    )
 );
</code></pre>
<h4>Tips</h4>
<ul>
<li>After the pages are created automatically, you can change their title and slug without problem.</li>
<li>If you add an <code>option</code> names: <code>page_on_front</code> and <code>page_for_posts</code>, you will block the <em>home-page</em> and the <em>blog-page</em> on your site.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Templating</h4>
<p>You can template using <strong>ID</strong> or <strong>name</strong> (setted up in $default_theme_pages global variable ), something like:</p>
<p><strong>page-131.php</strong> or <strong>page-contact.php</strong> (If you change the page slug, this will still work because ‘contact’ was defined as <em>pagename</em> if $default_theme_pages global variable).</p>
<p>For detect if you’re in that page:</p>
<pre><code>dtp_is_page('contact')
</code></pre>
<p>Getting a default page id:</p>
<pre><code>$page_id = dtp_get_page_id('contact');
</code></pre>
<p>This method is more quick than <em>get_page_by_path</em> because page ID is stored on global variable.</p>
