Update get_users_drafts() to support custom post types

[navjotjsingh]

Currently get_users_drafts() access drafts of 'post' type only. Would be useful if it could support custom post types as well.

+1 for sure, though I think the function should also be updated to use WP_Query in order to leverage existing APIs and take caching into account.

It seems very strange to me that this function only returns the ID and post_title fields instead of standard post objects.

The function isn't actually used anywhere in core, so perhaps we should leave it exactly as is but add a $post_type parameter to the function.

Add support for passing post types to get_users_drafts()

24088.patch adds support for custom post types and adds $user_id to the get_users_draft filter.

Just a couple nitpicks on 24088.patch​, but the slash in @param string/array should be a pipe character, |, and $post_type should also be marked 'Optional.'

Unrelated: Does it seem odd that the query string itself is filterable rather than the results here?

[mordauk]

I thought it was odd that the query arguments weren't filterable. I chalked it up to the function not being used anywhere in core.

I'd definitely like to make the arguments filterable though I'd worry about backwards compatibility with any plugins that are using the function.

Refreshed patch with correct PHPDoc.

24088.3.patch is an updated patch for src/

[wonderboymusic]

This function is unused by core, not inclined to improve it
