[wp-hackers] Adding post_status (to a specific post type)

[Lionel POINTET]

Hi Tom,

A post status is applicable to all types of post, regular (WP) types or
even custom types you defined.
When you *set* this status to a particular post, a new "filter" will appear
before the list of posts, near the "All" link and the other statuses.
Indeed, you defined the "show_in_admin_status_list" key to "true" but the
filtering by status is displayed only if there are already some posts with
this status.

That said, you'll need to define a new meta-box or other form stuff so that
you'll be able to set your new status to your custom status, because
WordPress doesn't display new statuses in the core drop down list.
