XMLRPC Comments API

[ryan]

Add API to XMLPRC for retrieving and managing comments.

[josephscott]

There's been some discussion about this on the wp-xmlrpc list: ​http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-xmlrpc/

[ryan]

Incomplete and untested preview

[ryan]

Drop separate method for setting comment status. Flesh out editComment.

[ryan]

Add get_comments(). Register methods. Deprecate some old stuff.

[ryan]

All methods tested except newComment. It needs some more work.

[ryan]

Allow fetching comments for a particular post

[ryan]

getComments() accepts optional status and post_id. A separate getPostComments() has been suggested. It'd probably just be an alias to getComments() with different argument passing if we added it.

newComment() needs a little more work. All other methods have had basic testing and are hopefully complete.

[ryan]

Working newComment

[ryan]

In 7446.6 all methods are completed and tested. I left support for unregistered commenting out of newComments for now.

[ryan]

Handle anonymous comments

[ryan]

Add offset and number support to getComments

[ryan]

Couple small corrections

(In [8543]) XML-RPC comments API. see #7446

When editing a comment in moderation, ​http://trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/comment.php?rev=8543#L863 is causing the comment to be be approved with any changes to the Approval Status.

[ryan]

(In [8622]) comment_approved can be zero, so check with isset instead of empty. fixes #7446

[ryan]

(In [8698]) Typo fix. Props josephscott. see #7446
