   Hi folks

   I have a plugin on my WP3.1.2 install that adds a filter to the main post content in order to expand a shortcode and show VodPod video content:

   add_filter('the_content', 'expand_vodpod_shortcode');

   However, I'd also like to apply the same filter to a custom textarea field in my posts entitled rh-column.

   Would the same logic apply? i.e...

   add_filter('rh-column', 'expand_vodpod_shortcode');

   ...or is more required?

   Many thanks

   You can create your own filters but I'm not sure you need to get that complicated. I'd probably do this:

   $rh_column_content = "placeholder for your rh-column content, however you have it set up";
   $rh_column_content = apply_filters('the_content',$rh_column_content);

   The catch is that the 'the_content' filters might do more than you want them to. If so, I'd be tempted to try to call that 'expand_vodpod_shortcode' function directly.

   That works beautifully.

   Many thanks!
