Provide access to sticky status via XMLRPC and AtomPub

[redsweater]

The "sticky" status of a post should be accessible by remote clients who use the AtomPub or XMLRPC interface to manage WordPress blogs.

Clients should be able to read and set the boolean value.

Thanks!

Here's a patch that adds a boolean 'is_sticky' field to metaWeblog.getPost/editPost/newPost XML-RPC methods. I'll ping the AtomPub email list and see what's considered the right way to expose this functionality via AtomPub.

It would be also great to expose in AtomPub if a given post status is private.

Hmm, what about AtomPub ? The changeset only fix XML-RPC part of the issue.

Making this happen in AtomPub will have to be part of a larger effort. We'll have to bite the bullet and add our own custom namespace for WordPress specific AtomPub fields since there's no standard way to indicate 'sticky'.

I've re-opened this ticket and marked as 'Future Release'. When we a WordPress namespace then we can take care of this.

Nice. Thanks.

Given the lack of traction with AtomPub, closing this as fixed for XML-RPC.
