14044	check_admin_referer is a template tag only	hakre		"when a plugin author wants to check (e.g. in the init hook) if a certain admin_referer is available or not, the plugin needs to write it's own admin referer implementation because the existing function

{{{check_admin_referer()}}}

can only be used to check for, but not agains (if it's not the appropriate refer, the script will die.

this is mainly because that function is to be used as a admin ""template tag"" only.

useful would be a function that will return a boolean value instead of dieing / continuing execution.

this can be done by moving the decision out of {{{check_admin_referer()}}} into a new function {{{check_admin_referer_test()}}} and leave the die in there.

this will make plugin coding more safe because right now no such function exists and that done it's hard to check pre-conditions like proper form submits in init."	enhancement	closed	normal		Security	3.0	normal	invalid	has-patch dev-feedback needs-testing gsoc	wojtek.szkutnik@…
