The name "column" is already in use Error when adding custom columns

    Hi,
    Plugin is great. My case :
    I have a custom content type named ‘website’, with ‘customize columns’ option checked, displaying custom fields I wanted, great.
    But… I wanted to add a custom column, to display a link or a button, that is not a custom field. So I tried to do it “as usual”, so I used a filter :

    add_filter('manage_website_posts_columns', 'rpoc_manage_website_posts_columns', 10, 1);

function rpoc_manage_website_posts_columns($columns) {
	return array_merge($columns,array('myaction'=>__('myaction')));
}

    Doing that, every post ‘website’ is displaying in the cell of column ‘myaction’ message : “The name myaction is already in use”.

    I tried to do exactly the same thing with post_type = post, and it works, so I think it’s about compatibility of using CCTM and using standard WP filters ?

    Can you help me ?

    Thanks

    Since this sounds like a bug, please use the bug-tracker: https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-custom-content-type-manager/issues/list

    Please include the exact steps to reproduce the problem including all the data printed for you by the CCTM on its “Report a Bug” pages (version, active plugins, etc) and include the name you’re trying to use for your custom column. Videos and screenshots are extremely helpful (use Jing e.g.). I can’t make sense of what you’re doing at this point, so fair warning: if the bug report doesn’t include some more detail, it’ll get marked as invalid. Custom columns are working on several sites I’ve built recently, so it’s gotta be something in your environment your specifics that’s causing this behavior.

    thanks for your feedback. I put everything I could in the issue I’ve just created @ https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-custom-content-type-manager/issues/detail?id=495

    I try to investigate too on this issue.

    I couldn’t reproduce this: the basic functionality in the CCTM is working here, so there’s some conflict with your custom code. WP’s events here are really wonked, so it’s not entirely surprising to me that having “2 cooks in the kitchen” caused things to blow up.
