WordPress Page Templater

A fork of Page Templater plugin by WPExplorer (http://www.wpexplorer.com/wordpress-page-templates-plugin/).

This plugin has a little bit different scope than the original one, as it adds virtual page templates to WP admin that do not need a file for each of them to be existing in the plugin/theme. That means that the page templates will probably use a base template (such as singular.php or page.php).

Installation

Drop the plugin into your plugins folder, use the hook to add templates' filenames and names (no actual files need to be created, but filenames will serve as ids).

Hooks

Use pagetemplater_change_custom_templates_list filter to add new templates from a theme:

function pagetemplater_return_custom_templates($plugin_templates) {
  $theme_templates = array( 
    'good.php' => 'It\'s Good to Be Bad',
    'heybabe.php' => 'Hey babe',
  );
  $custom_templates = array_merge($plugin_templates, $theme_templates);
  return $custom_templates;
}

add_filter( 'pagetemplater_change_custom_templates_list', 'pagetemplater_return_custom_templates' );
