[Plugin: Featured Image Column] filter for post types

    Great plugin!

    Right now it looks like it adds the column to any post type that supports featured images, and adds featured image support to post and page.

    I recommend creating a filtered array, $post_types, so developers can specify exactly where it shows up. 

    $post_types = array();
if( post_type_supports( 'post', 'thumbnail' ) $post_types[] = 'post';
if( post_type_supports( 'page', 'thumbnail' ) $post_types[] = 'page';
$post_types = apply_filters( 'featured_image_column_post_types', $post_types );

    That way, if I want to limit it to just my “rotator” post type, I can drop this in the functions.php file:

    function be_featured_image_columns( $post_types ) {
	return 'rotator';
}
add_filter( 'featured_image_column_post_types', 'be_featured_image_columns' );

    Great idea. Which function would I drop that into?

    I’d recommend creating a separate function in the class:

    function included_post_types( $post_type ) {
	$post_types = array();
	if( post_type_supports( 'post', 'thumbnail' ) $post_types[] = 'post';
	if( post_type_supports( 'page', 'thumbnail' ) $post_types[] = 'page';
	$post_types = apply_filters( 'featured_image_column_post_types', $post_types );
	if( in_array( $post_type, $post_types )
		return true;
	else
		return false;
}

    Then, everywhere you’re checking to see if the current post type supports thumbnails, replace it with this function. For example, at the top of columns(), change this:

    if ( !post_type_supports( $post_type, 'thumbnail' ) )
	return;

    To this:

    if( !self::included_post_types( $post_type ) )
	return;

    This is all untested though

    I’ll play around with this.
