XMLRPC method to return information for a specific image

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Alex, could you add a few XMLRPC methods to request information for a single 
object:

ngg.getGallery
  - int blog_id
  - string username
  - string password
  - int gallery_id

ngg.getAlbum
  - int blog_id
  - string username
  - string password
  - int album_id

ngg.getImage
  - int blog_id
  - string username
  - string password
  - int gallery_id
  - int picture_id

In situations where I need to check if a particular gallery or a particular 
image still exists on the server, this would greatly improve performance. This 
would also make the XMLRPC API more complete :)

Thanks in advance!
Vladimir

If you want I can write the code for these new methods myself, and you would 
just review and incorporate my changes in xmlrpc.php. Please let me know.

Yes, that would be great. Just add it as patch or file, I will look into it

Alex, attached is the updated xmlrpc.php file. I also needed to make a minor 
change in the ngg_db.php file so the find_gallery() method also returns the 
number of pictures in the gallery:

insert on line #195 (after line $gallery->galdesc  = 
stripslashes($gallery->galdesc);):

$gallery->counter = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT COUNT(*) as counter 
FROM $wpdb->nggpictures WHERE galleryid = %d", $id) );

Forgot to mention - I put a question mark next to version numbers (e.g. @since 
1.9.1?) because I don't know what version you are planning to include these 
changes into.

Other than that, I ran some tests, and the added methods work fine.
Attached is the xmlrpc.file.
