WordCamp JSON API: Expose session & speaker relationship

[tareiking]

When retrieving a individual session via the API (ie: ​http://sf.wordcamp.org/2014/wp-json/posts/655135), there is no meta / information for the speaker(s) who is assigned to the session.

Similarly, when viewing an individual speaker (​http://sf.wordcamp.org/2014/wp-json/posts/652591)

Is it possible to get exposure to the session and speaker relationships via the API?

Yup, that's already in the works :)

Speakers will have a sessions array with full wcb_session posts, and Sessions will have a speaker post. I've got most of the code written, but there's a recursion bug that I still need to get sorted out.

@iandunn Let me know if you need any help testing a potential patch. A full array session and speaker posts sounds ideal!

Hopefully my tickets aren't doubling up on work you already have planned? If you have a roadmap, I'd be happy to take a look before creating new tickets.

[iandunn]

There's no formal roadmap, I'm just working off the feedback I get. It's good to have tickets, though, so keep on creating them :)

In 1533:

WordCamp JSON API: Embed related Speaker and Session posts within each other.

Fixes #1009

Looks like the sessions array for speakers are getting populated with all sessions, not just those assigned to them. That didn't happen on my sandbox, but I'm looking into it.

In 1534:

WordCamp JSON API: Allow post__in for unauthenticated sessions queries.

Normally post__in is not a valid query var for unauthenticated users, but if it's left out then the query for sessions returns all available posts, rather than the filtered list that was intended.

Fixes #1009

r1533 has a bug, it only displays a single speaker, even if there are multiple. I started #1020 to discuss a solution.
