is_page() doesn't accept a full path

[johnbillion]

If you have a page at example.com/foo/bar, then is_page('foo/bar') will return false on that page.

The is_page() function only checks the ID, title and post name, not the full path.

If the $page parameter passed to is_page() contains a slash then we should check the full path. If I get a chance I'll see if I can whip up a patch in the next couple of days.

I suggest to name such a function is_page_path('foo/bar') for a starter to prevent further parameter overloading of is_page().

Replying to hakre:

What's "parameter overloading"? Why do we need another function?

is_page() accepts slug and title, I don't think there is need for is_page( path ) or is_page_path function.

function is_page_path( $path ) {
	$page = get_page_by_path( $path );
	return $page ? is_page( $page->ID ) : null;
}

Something like that?

-1 to having this in core, it seems like a niche and untidy way of doing things.

Patch.

@hakre, @greuben and @kawauso: Why the opposition? is_page() accepts a slug, so accepting a full path is a natural extension. In fact it's not even a natural extension, I'd say it's expected behaviour. Multiple pages with different parents can have the same slug, so this eliminates the ambiguity.
